Why did you do that, Darlington? You used to have a nice town centre, with flowers, and steps to stop disable people moving around. And every time you crossed the road you nearly got killed by a bus. It was exciting.
Now the flowers are gone, replaced by concrete breeze blocks. The steps are replaced by ramps. And there' s hardly any buses. And it's not even a cool fountain like the one in Shildon (which got switched off after Kenny Barlow drowned in it). It's just a few steps with water running down it. Kinda disappointing, really.
At least you put in plenty of benches though. That's pretty cool. It means you can sit down. Also you seem to have gotten a lot more hot women installed. This is extremely good, as I like a bit of eye candy while I'm shopping.
Other things of interest: The William Stead (a pub named after a teetotal is deliciously ironic) is not as nice as the Lambton Worm, but it is better than Jameson's. It's a lot quieter than the Worm, but it was a Thursday afternoon. No toilets downstairs is a bit of a downer, but the upstairs area seems quite nice and relaxing. If ever we visit my beloved Darlo (which I must insist upon at some point), it will certainly be on the itinerary. Actually, it will be the itinerary, since there's not much else of note really.
