I know cardiff is quite pretty and has a nice castle and stadium in the city centre but it's got a lot of hidden poverty , a dreadful transport system that is often gridlocked and a terrible live music scene compared to manchester , leeds etc
The parks are quite nice , apart from the possibility of getting mugged at night in the castle grounds but the eating culture is generally accepted to be poor for a city of its size
It also has a tiny railway station compared to bristol , leeds , glasgow , manchester , birmingham
Loads of famous rock bands , sports celebrities etc come from birmingham , manchester
We celebrate the culture of Wales's if it is a united country ...that's nonsense .....cardiff and industrial south east wales owe their culture to immigration and industrialisation , mid wales is mostly sheep and north wales looks to manchester and liverpool
