Lancaster..what's it like?

[shadypines]

I realise I can't go for a while so in the meantime what do other MNetters think of this city? Is it pleasant to the eye, relatively clean, many galleries, museums? Thanks for any info.

RandomMess The do, but only up to 3 miles apparently, I'm too far. Can't have them smashed, the crunch is crucial to the taste. First day I'm back in the office I'm on it!

I didn’t know they delivered. We live 2 minutes walk from a Booths though, so perhaps it’s better I leave the deliveries for folk who are further away...

You live a two-minute walk from Booths? Stop boasting

Blimey it's about 15/20 minute walk for us but it does allow the dog to stretch her legs...

I was 15 minutes walk from Booths, now it's a dentist 😢

Ah well, something to look forward to.

Bloody love Booths. I consider myself an honorary Lancastrian, having gone to secondary school there and survived living in Preston for several years.

Who cares if I was born in Merseyside, it was Lancashire first.

Can't remember when it last rained and keep having to shut the curtains to eat dinner otherwise get blinded by the sun.

Really grim up here it is...

I know, my poor plant pots actually need watering.

Lancaster is dingy, it rains every single day and it is a bit 'rough'.

I was a student there 1989-1993, loved it. I was into fringed skirts and lots of eyeliner and I fitted right in. Loved the Alex in Lancaster and the Gardens in morecambe. I had a part time job in the chip shop on the main road. I used to take home leftover chips for my housemates.

The Alex is long gone sadly. The Water Witch is still there though.
