The thing that stood out to me immediately regarding the artist's impression is that there is no protection from the rain or sun (joke).another city centre project looks in trouble unfortunately:
Rethink on £300million redevelopment of Coventry city centre
I'm not sure if your theories are backed up by research but I'd spend much less time in town when it was raining if there was no cover.But on the flip side a lot of the arcades and stuff feel too enclosed and uninviting.
There's also the idea that protection from the rain just results in window shopping. If there's a bit of rain you can still just stand outside and not be affected. No protection sees people nip into shops to get out of the rain and while in there they *might* buy something they otherwise wouldn't have, or at the very least will go into a cafe/coffee house etc.
There is also the idea that the sun makes people feel happier and livelier and people are more prone to spend money if they've got a bit of sun on their face due to the hormones it releases in the body.
I think there needs to be a mixed of both covered and uncovered, but personally I think indoor should be like the malls and stuff. Streets should be uncovered.
Does nobody own an umbrella anymore ?
Does nobody own an umbrella anymore ?
No, the same as I don't meet my mates for coffee or wear a t shirt and a scarf.
I don't even know how to behave in a coffee shop. I have wore a t-shirt and scarf combo in the past though. It was my go to thing in jumpin jaks back in 2007.
Wetherspoons do coffee if somebody is driving , needs to wake up or is having a breakfast. There's no need for groups of males to go into places like that.
Back in the day you would get abused for ordering an alcopop. Can't imagine what would happen if you said "do you want to meet me in Pret?"
Not even allowed a lager dash in my group ha ha
I get stick when I get on the wine.
We used to go to the Cov Supporters Club in Hillfields to play snooker on a Sunday and I couldn't stand the taste of proper alcohol so I'd have a peach Bacardi Breezer. Never heard a word though, the only sensible assumption to make is that I'm a double hard bastard without realising it.
He will have ordered that not caring how long it could have been left out for too, that's a proper set of balls there.
I'm not sure if I ever got a highest break past the 30s at most, but what I did like about snooker is that after playing, a pool table seems so small and easy you pull off audacious shots like it ain't no thang. I bet that's what it's like when Tiger Woods is roped into a game of crazy golf.
I'm not sure if your theories are backed up by research but I'd spend much less time in town when it was raining if there was no cover.
I might 'nip into a shop' but I'd be no more likely to buy something. I'd just browse inside instead of outside.
And if rain was forecast, I'd avoid going into town at all if there was a lack of cover.
Always said that.
Horrendous things. Almost had my eye taken out a number of times by people that can't handle them.

It's still cheap. They'll be fine.I fear for Basement Browns.
They have just put their prices up and quite a hike too.
Family pizza up from £13.50 to £15 and their medium pizza, up from £7.50 to £8.50. You get the choice of two toppings.
MOD Pizza is opening in March just round the corner. Their price is a set £7.87 and you can have as many toppings as you want and so many more choices of toppings. Their large pizza is less than £10.
Very bad move from BB's I think and now makes them more expensive than their nearest rival.
Could be the undoing of them in the city.
