Love / Hate in your town

[joggerjayne]

Sights in your town you LOVE and you HATE.

I LOVE the simple, art deco elegance of the Grosvenor Casino ...

(In that picture, please ignore the fat cnut in the vest eating an ice cream ... people like him are a hazard of living at the seaside. He's probably a day tripper)

And, just along the road ...I HATE the Brighton Centre.

It has the architectural charm of a P.O.W. Camp. It's a ghastly, horrid, ugly blot on the landscape.

I love the fact there are very few people here.

I love the fact that I know everyone and my family are all there.

It's what the philistines have done to the interior, JJ...

That Brighton Centre is like an ugly carbuncle on the face of a dear friend.
In my town I like the cafes on the Lisburn Rd. Dislike the crowds in the centre at the weekends.

[joggerjayne]

So we have to ask, don't we, MarkRae ... ?

[Bobbisox]

I agree Mark, it is horrible now, was my watering hole at lunch times on BT..lol

In the town where I was born, all the mines have closed. Regeneration has been going on for several years. It now houses a massive retail park. a multiplex cinema, The only indoor ski park in the north named Xscape and the best landmark, to remember the mines I have ever seen. Take a look.

The words "Brighton" "Centre" and "nuke"

[Barmaid]

Jayne, its Peterborough. Enough said!!!!

Bobbi - whenever I hear that, I just think of Scotland. Fantastic the way Mark Knopfler seems to vary it everytime he plays it. Damn, may have to youtube it now.
