As a resident of Enderby we campaigned against 'Centre 21' back in the late 70s and successfully got the plans revoked with Blaby Council. Didn't make a jot of difference in the long run, they still built Fosse Park and the Meridian anyway.
Asda was the start of it.

I have vague memories of how it used to look before all that was built.

And the award for the best city to live in goes to Leeds.

They seem to have missed out the bit about you being there.

Yep, I know but the damage has already been done. Maybe this time they'll improve the infrastructure, the new bridge over the Motorway may help but the ring road will always be a problem going through Braunstone. It was originally planned for it to go through the Kingsway (and the width was left for it when they built that bit) but sticking it through Hand Avenue in a cutting was a big mistake, they should have bulldozed part of 'The Dodge' when it was constructed.

I do sometimes wonder where the road designers get their ideas from

Just remembered to go and check strava for a certain back street segment that only has one female on it ... but today I improved my QOM and equaled the KOM..... (ignore any comments I made up thread about it being windy .... it was completely calm ... possibly even a head wind on that road and I didn't detour specifically to that road because of the possible direction of the wind)

That's how I got most of my QoM's

My presence adds to the appeal.

Yep there's that bit but they're also expanding Fosse Park over by the Police HQ aren't they?

No - I'd disagree. I think Vern's pies have contributed to the award

My presence adds to the appeal.

I took Vernon's presence to be a positive.

I used to get off my bike at the farmhouse by the roundabout where they bred Great Danes and give em a fuss over the wall, lovely dogs.

Everards are selling off the Brewery, or part of it.

Frying Mae Ploy Thai curry pastes always makes me sneeze uncontrollably.

The chicken was stuffed, now I am stuffed.

A full chicken roast, feels like a Sunday
