now indeed the atmosphere along the road is such that even at 7pm on a sunday one feels like you really should only be going along there with plenty of body armour & backup from your friends from the northern half of the city.

an occupancy survey would indeed be an interesting exercise; just as now thursday is the new friday, it appears broad street is the new john bright street in more ways than they hoped it would be. the question is, which building will be torched first ?
