Tell me about it, it'll be as bad as Cardiff Bay soon. They are like any City, trying to tear down everything thats scummy (although I like things scummy) I'm happy about the new library though. It really is about time.
Check out my 'Save Spillers Records' thread...ive posted a Culture Show segment about the shop...
