It is a lesson for city planners.<br /><br />We do not see the "not nearly as idyllic" surroundings but I can't help but think that here (US) the pub would have been replaced by a 'Hooters' - shudder!Liz Strattonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14355785887810653358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-484198747535822445.post-49113657957765948642011-09-24T03:23:54.937+01:002011-09-24T03:23:54.937+01:00As usual, I am intrigued more by the figures and v...As usual, I am intrigued more by the figures and vehicles than in the landscape.
