Plymouth Bomb - One For Pasta

[DTCwordfan]

If the Plymouth bomb had gone off this afternoon, economists have calculated that it would have caused £10.5 million of improvements in the city.

Hahaha

Was it anywhere near Union St?

[pastafreak]

Lol!

Meanwhile the current never ending improvements to the city centre are estimated to cost 37 million. Every little helps!

[pastafreak]

Nope Sandy...are you familiar with that landmark street?

[sandyRoe]

No.  I saw a utube documentary about Plymouth and it was mentioned.  Apparently, the 30 local pubs closed down when military personnel were moved to bases in other areas.

Ooh, Union Street was some kind of fun back in the day. Is it still, pasta?

[pastafreak]

Sandy...union street bars were renowned for navy/janner alterations back in the day.

Clover, I think it's far more sedate now. My daughter used to go clubbing there...she says when she visits it looks like that has all died out. City still has plenty of pubs though.
