Excellent drinking: I recommend the Devonshire Cat, Fat Cat, Dove and  
Rainbow, and possibly the Red Deer. The Winter Garden is worth an  
amble through.

The Trip to Jerusalem pub is an interesting historic building,  
although the beer is merely adequate and you'd be better off going to  
the Saluation Inn round the corner. Nottingham Castle is nice to  
wander around.

It's otherwise a fairly dull city, which is why I left at age 18 and  
never looked back.

I can't say that Stoke appeals, but I really do want to visit Glasgow  
one day to see if people really do eat deep-fried Mars bars, or  
whether they were invented to wind up the English.
