Yes and even harder to find spaces for parking as most of them are full.

A couple of times I have mistakenly read
Britain's 50 most unbeatable sights
as Britain's most unbearable sights.

So it set me thinking.
Do you have any unbearable sights?
Good afternoon, brisket!

I did think that a more appropriate adjective than unbeatable could have been used for the feature.

It is, good view when you're on a arrival flight back to Birmingham airport though.

That reminds me of the day I forgot to turn off at Ikea on the North Circular - it took me two and a half hours to find my way back there

I used to have to go there 2-3 times a week for work, never bothered to stop to shop. Just in and out as quick as humanly possible


The M4 drive is a lot nicer than the M40 or M1 drive I have to say. Bristol's a good place for visiting and shopping Once did a drive from Glasgow to Loch Lomond and the hills/cliffs/mountains/whatever they were were pretty breathtaking. (They all look the same to me but apparently there is a difference).

I think there are a few people sprinkled around here that will testify to the fact that I think it is a hideous monstrosity and that it's designer and all people involved in the decision to construct and erect it should have been strangled/drowned at birth!
