Stop the Puffys: Welcome to Bristol

For the terminally stupid, Bristol is situated somewhere near Weston-Super-Mare. It's in the foot bit of England. It's only miles away from the home of good entertainment, Future Publishing (which is in a hot tub[Bath]). It's acclaimed the home of anything underground. True.

Heroin, 24 hour clubs, Portishead, Massive Attack, Trip-Hop, Roni-Size, and St.Etineine (I think) have all come from or have been popular in the dirty city. It's the cultural capital of the West.

But Bristol has a problem, it's "Cultural Capital" is being disenfranchised. A Mall (imaginatively called "The Mall") has been built on a grassy verge, next to some sheds, and a large road, called the M5. Despite being a pain to get to, and looking like something resembling a certain Exploded Power Station (the spelling of which escapes me at the mome). And it's extremely popular.

Why am I blurring this in your face? This "Mall", is going to, eventfully, kill off a puffy state. It's called Broadmead. This shopping centre has had it's ups, but mostly downs. The generic term "Broadmead" really covers a large area of shops, and a indoor centre (including 2 EB's, a GAME and a Games Exchange), a park and a strange simulator thing. What's amazing about this centre? It contains all of puffy's in the city at any one time. The whole city. Not one is left. Well a couple.

Without this puffy container, Bristol would surly die. I'll explain. Broadmead keeps things "livable", without it, Bristol would surly break under the pressure. All those extra puffys would be distributed around out-skirts, and namely my home town, Kingswood.

You see, the "Mall" may kill off this equiblium. The puffys would have no reason to "sort it" down town. And it'll happen in many places across the country. You must petition your council against out-of-town shopping centres. Other wise the following will happen:

It's a shame really, but no one has really taken this into account. You are all are going to have to face this menace one day. Our cities are modernising..... by leaving them. Ooh err..

You could always become a monk...
