[QUOTE="shtove, post: 118130"] Basingstoke. You get out of the train station and are faced with a giant, enclosed shopping centre - a mega-mall. You think: "Town centre can't be that way". So you try to walk around the mall. Not possible: there's a motorway blocking your escape, and you're forced back. You walk through the gates of the mall and ... it truly is mega. Mines of Moria mega. You walk for ages, unaware that you're humming along to the piped tune of The Girl From Iponima (or is it My Lovely Horse?). The people are all fat and bleached-blond, in sportswear that looks like crisp packets. Half an hour later you reach the end of the mall and find ... the town centre. Huh? Not really unpleasant - a market square full of traders selling unsoiled nylon slacks from their vans - but it's so small. Basingstoke's town centre is a boil on the stenchy bum of an incredibly long and cavernous shopping centre. And the next train doesn't leave for two hours. Howl! [/QUOTE]
