    Belfast???
    Nah? Ok.

    I have always wanted to go to New York near the christmas holidays to do me shopping. Just need to save up for the flights and work up the courage to even get on the plane.

    And what's wrong with Belfast? :-/
    New scenery. Beautiful people. Yes that's right.

    And hmm... we have shops, markets the whole lot. And you get a wee holiday out of it as well by escaping the whole on England which is a bonus.

    Becky, Birmingham is supposedly good for shopping. Personally I don't agree but I'm odd.

    Well...you won't need luck. But it's certainly shit for the kind of things Becks was talking about. The most interesting thing about our market is that it's round. Mmm.

    Apart from that it's pretty much one of those identikit towns that Rolly was talking about a while back.

    Leicester is alright for shopping and stuff but I think Nottingham is fabby.
    It has two big shopping centers along with all shops all along the streets etc, they have just got a new tram system installed which is pretty groovy and there is loads stuff to do curtesy of Robin Hood and his many attractions. It is a really nice well presented city clean and stuff, oh and in one of the shopping centers is the entrance to these caves which is random and neat visitor attraction.

    I'll go find some websites and stuff if you are interested :)

    We haven't started the Christmas shopping here yet. However, my mum and my sister have gone off to Chester this weekend to spend some time shopping. My sister's 16th birthday is tomorrow, so it's a birthday present for her. I think they might do a little bit of early Christmas shopping at the same time.
