What the hell were you doing there? And I'm not surprised you got lost. I am surprised you got out in one piece though.

We were trying to find the Apollo in a Fiat Cinquecento with no power steering and stopped there to read the map. The centre is a f*cking open-plan labyrinth. I knew where we were and it slapped us out of the 'ooh I've just had Wimpy on the M6 near where Joy Division lived' cultural tourist daydream.
But seriously after one night I got home and was already making provisional plans to move there which of course never came to fruition... it was just good vibes and disarmingly friendly people (I wasn't hammered).
