    The top three places you miss most from Coventry city centre

    Nicholas Nickleby mens clothes shop in the Burges. Always had nice clothes in there and it was a nice shop. Whenever I go past and look at the shop now (some sort of games shop) my heart sinks.

    Love snow

    Love snow

    Apparantly the council have called all the gritting wagons back to the depot as the drivers are struggling to control the wagons. So far they have bumped into a couple of cars while out gritting.
