any thoughts ????
I remember a few years ago I went up to Oldham to do an exhibition with work.

They booked us a room in a hotel.

Driving to that hotel was an experience. It was just like driving through a ghetto, or what i have been led to beleive what one would look like. We did not dare stop and the doors were locked. There were gangs openly on every street corner looking menacingly at us in my bosses Audi maybe they were 'well jelous' of the car who knows?

It was certainly intimidating. All I know is that you should not feel like that in your own country, let alone any other.

The hotel itself was fine, good food and drink, the bedroom window was a bit drafty though.
