Yep Chris, seems to be a bit ridiculous. Where has the hospitality of the town gone? Used to be that anyone could drop by for a pint, a natter, moan and and bit of craic!!
I am glad to see the City progress forward, but seems to be at the cost of all the people who have 'kept it real' - not those who want to manufacture an image that not only tourists, but the vast majority of locals don't want??
WAG's I ask you.
Mind you, if you really do want to associate with those sorts of peer groups, you get what you ask for - take a look at those loud, ill-mannered, foul-mouthed, shapes of beings that are the 'celebrity' of Jade Goody and her cohorts???
Better off with a pint of black, some crips and a bit of banter, again, in my own 'umble opinion!!
Acheux.
