If nobody wanted them, they’d not be making money, and therefore wouldn’t be there unless they’re a laundering scam, and it my guess that nobody sets up a laundering scam in Venice where the rents will be astronomical.
So I reckon they’re making money, probably from dozy fuckers buying tat.
The real reason our high streets are full of shitty little tat shops is Amazon, and online shopping more generally. They’ve simply captured the profitable parts of the high street, and left the landlords desperate to have some income from a Turkish barber, rather than their assets boarded up and depreciating even faster.
You can blame Burnham, national or local government if it makes you feel better, but the root cause is online shopping.
I’m more concerned his lackeys will read some of the things I’ve said about him online and cast me into some deep dark dungeon.
Or worse, make me have dinner with him.
It was a pleasure meeting you! I must apologize for the restaurant in Franklin that served food that came either from a box or can. There are good ones in Bridgewater and Harrisonburg, in hindsight Barb and I should have met you there.
Actually I've been a registered democrat since my 20's but today's democrat party is nothing like what it was then so I now mostly support republican candidates. John F Kennedy would be a conservative in the Republican Party today. Current democrat party leaders have ideals that are more aligned with Fidel Castro.
Soooo, ya Audiology appointment didn't go well then ,,
It was orreyt.
Love the states, been up and down the East coast courtesy of the Grey Funnel Line (RN), then later on, on holiday I had a girlfriend in NY, my boss was great extended long weekends most weekends(4/5 days), flights were cheap and her being a boss did alternate weeks. I did my complex/twin training in San Diego which meant most weekends we'd fly into Vegas park up next to the the biz jets, get treated like royalty even though it was normally a tatty Piper Arrow. Have a few beers a little gamble and crash at a dodgy motel, later on I clocked 80 hours flying up and around the East Coast and inland, always a great reception, normally they had free pilot accommodation to crash at and a free car to get out and about in as long as you filled it up, sometimes it was the latest models sponsored by the fuel companies. Great time meeting folk from outback places to the cities. It's the same as travelling the world on a motorbike, you put out a good vibe you'll get it back in spades.
do canada instead, great country people and scenery.
Big place, too.
Don’t be put off. Las Vegas is only one city and Nevada only one state, there’s still another 49 states (let alone the sights and sites within them) potentially on the list of ‘Must do’. In a way, simply because it’s so brash and possibly horrible, maybe Las Vegas is somewhere to see for 24 hours?
Whilst I have zero truck with Trump, he alone would not deter me from going. Nor would a negative comment about place XYZ, mean that I’d write off an entire continent.

Having been to Vegas for conferences multiple times, and not being a gambler…… I’d say it’s worth seeing once… aim for three days …shopping, the main strip, fremont/old Vegas…..
As a hub it also offers some stunning road trips …..Zion, Bruce, Grand Canyon, deserts, old towns, route 66, Spanish highway, death valley……all in easy reach…..

We did New England 2 years ago, loved it all, Conecticut was lovely, more old England the people were great too very welcoming. Massatusetts not quite as nice, whale watching in Cape Cod was best $50 weve ever spent.Going back next year to visit different areas.
