  IF I could stand in that view 12hrs a day 7 days a week I'd be very happy.

  You`d also be very wet Ian.

  i am betwixt and between on this one, i love my adopted home for the reasons of the lovely walks that are available and the scenery that we enjoy.
  
  however until the town is spruced up people will not come here and enjoy it.
  
  the towns stout burghers seem content with how things are and there is no urgency to improve things that will attract visitors.

  Thats a lovely shot Paul, you certainly get into good positions. I take it thats from the Prince of Wales pier...yet they talk of demolishing that, they should build a hotel there and really go for tourist gold.
  
  Yes Howard is right, the seafront is taking shape and when the building works are finished its going to look very good, but once you ramble down that tunnel its not very appealing...abysmal abandoned shops, boarded up fountain in hi summer, derelict no-go areas....
  
  Great pic though there

  Why is the fountain still boarded up? Is it because Market Square has become a big tv living room occasionally interrupted by a market? Or has the money to keep it running, run out?

  incorrect sid, southern water have already stated that a hosepipe ban is not on the cards.
  
  we had a wet spring and i seem to remember them building a new reservoir.
