yeah karen, that street is amazing, its called the shambles, and i think maybe its because the whole street doesnt make any sense, its just so higgledy piggledy but very quaint, and it really is like stepping back in time, apparently in some of the houses if two people stand in opposite bedrooms, they can lean out of the window and actually touch hands!! the houses are that close!!

Yeah, the castle is a bit creepy really, but its hollow inside, just a ruin really, well preserved though and the hill around it is cool for rolling down

ooh tasheh, your town is famous for serial rapists?? and the 7/7 terrorists?

oh god thats terrible, i bet it was scary when the rapists were on the loose, i was a teenager when the Yorkshire Ripper was about (yeah yeah, im ancient

) and he sent a tape to the police saying he would strike next in a walled city, we were all convinced he would come here, i used to carry a little spud knife up my sleeve at all times, and a lighted cigarette, just a good job no one ever tried to ask me the time hehe! id be banged up right along side the ripper now
