Feb 7, 2011 - I thought Birmingham and Manchester were considered the "Second Cities"? I'd prefer it if York was though. It's beautiful.

Feb 24, 2011 - Well, it used to be. It was the Industrial Revolution that pushed Birmingham and Manchester to the forefront. Culturally, though, I'd argue York is still more important. And yes...I went there yesterday...it is genuinely beautiful.

Jun 23, 2011 - The last fruit and veg shop has just closed in central York.. the last butcher's shop in 2010.. only 2 bakers are left. The entire walled-centre is now directed at catering for tourists and day-trippers. More and more cafes and trinket-shops replace proper businesses. The locals find themselves marginalised to the ugly retail-parks on the orbital roads. thus creating serious traffic-problems. Some days the locals can't move in the streets for tourists.. And no end to it is in sight..

Jul 23, 2011 - You don't buy fruit and veg form grocers in York, You buy it how its been bought for thousands of years, From the farmers markets at Newgate. There are still butchers shops, one is at the end of the shambles and pretty much every street in York has a Thomas the Bakers,

Jul 26, 2011 - Yes I think so too! Looks like Durham Cathedral with Durham Castle on the left. View seen from the train travelling North, a journey I know very well.
