At that angle, I bet most of that ran down her legs!

There are a lot more better parts but this is what most visitors tend to see when they come.
In fairness there is a good curry house nearby.

That Aberdeen one is a classic. The look on the guy's face says 'ah sod it, it's my wife, it'll be easier to let her get in with it'

Good of her bloke to stand guard and let her know if anyone's coming.

That Cardiff After Dark series, while reflective of some of what may go on around Cardiff, bugs me quite a bit, as in all my 10+ years of living here (and in the last 6, very close to City Centre), I have hardly ever seen such hideousness.

I could just as easily have gone out and taken photographs like this one:

[img] [/img]

and suggested that it was representative of what happens in Cardiff at night (which, in many ways, I think it is).

By contrast, I used to arrive at Manchester Piccadilly and have to make my up to Victoria on a Friday night, and when I did, it was virtually guaranteed that I would have to step around any number of loud drunkards and other louts on the way.

@Drac: I love that place. Quite honestly, if I was forced to choose a city in the UK, it would have to be Newcastle. In a heartbeat.

It's a cracking city that has turned itself around over the last decade. The Big Market is earmarked for a revamp too.

It's not gone yet. Last year it's still a horrible dump, I turned the wrong way out of High Market and ended up there. I nipped back through to Grey St pretty quick as the clients outside the bars in the Big Market during the day are something special.

Welcome to Bristol. Generally a great city but the centre on a weekend night is pretty grim.

That Cardiff pic is pretty representative from the times I've been out there.

You may well be mistaken for giving her the benefit of the doubt - who's to say she wasn't about to lay a cable. I wouldn't put it past some people.

Lockhard Road regulars?

Usual haunts round there include the Mexican (window seat for the street theatre) and Amazonia for cold beer, great music and laughing at the westerners not realising why some of the young ladies are so friendly.

Yes it is gross, but it's not me who is being photographed with my undercrackers round my ankles squatting in the street! This time.

Just look at the 'participant' in the photo and tell me you are absolutely sure she isn't going to crimp one off.

Ah yes 'Cardiff After Dark' I can't deny it, that's what St. Mary Street looks like late at night at the weekends - frankly it's only slightly better mid-week, but it seems these days the chaos is at least confided to one area and a little slightly less nutty bit on Greyfriars.

I guess it pays the bills for Cardiff, but I'd bet money they 90% of people on St. Mary St at 3am aren't actually from Cardiff, it's all Stag and Hen Do and bus loads down from the Valleys.

Had to look back to see what you're on about. See what you mean, but the lovely Ellie has far better legs!
