Re: Boring places
I have never found any place 'boring', there is always something to interest me be it buildings/parks/churches.A lot can be learnt from reading gravestones, I once came upon that of a sea Captain who survived the devastating 1883 eruption of Krakatoa .
The kind of place I find boring is where I am 'captive' like queuing in a shop.

Re: Boring places
seems like the sort of thread where you could upset people easily, talking about their town, so here goes. I once lived a few miles from a small ancient salt town built on a hillside and its own river running past, called Northwich in Cheshire. In the late 50's a bustling, vibrant little place with a dozen pubs running from the bottom of the hill to the top and all bursting to the rafters on a sat night.Went back 40 yrs later and it was dead it was like walking through a film making site when all the actors had gone home. 70% of all shops closed and most of the pubs - a perfect example of how the history of England can be lost through 'almighty progress' RIP Northwich of my youth!
how do ya put tears on here!
