But just seen this.

Its just a brand extension (20 other places as well were asked) and its still in the planning phase, lets see what comes of it, I laughed when he said Southampton has a vibrant club sceneā€¦

Went to Unity taproom last Saturday. Lush beer right in the microbrewery. Dead cool. They are doing an alternative christmas dinner on the 14th, pairing food with different beers.

Itā€™s not Derby though :lou_sad:

Oh how I go green with jealously when I look at Derby.

No its a grey boring dull place, Southampton for its size is gash, breezer anyone over a bit of hardcore stepsā€¦

The population of Derby is 248k. The population of Southampton is 253k. So, they are basically the same in terms of size. The problem Southampton has is the nearby presence of London. London sucks the life out of the Home Counties and the South in general, all the way across to Bristol. When I was a kid I had a choice. A night out in Southampton/Pompey or a trip to London. If I could afford it, Iā€™d go to London.

But Britain is full of towns like Derby and Southampton. Just think Norwich, Milton Keynes, Swindon, etc, etc. Theyā€™re all a bit dull.

Anyway, Bazza, what are you complaining about. Yiou live near Liverpool and, in any case, youā€™re going out days are over for the next few years now you have a sprog.

True. but it doesnā€™t suck the life out of Brighton? Iā€™m spoilt in Liverpool but yes at 42 with 2 kids my best days are long behind me, I still give it a nudge now and again and feel it for 3 days, a few people I know run bars in the City, Liverpool really is light years beyond most UK ones for things to do, nights out, restaurants, hotels and culture.

Southampton canā€™t compete with the big boys but show some ambition, a bit like football really.

I quite like the idea of some pissed up twat inadvertantly taking a wrong turn into the maze and spending the rest of the night trying to get out

Punters have already said its shit, this is code for success in Southampton so expect this along with the authentic German Christmas market to become a featureā€¦

Itā€™s a temporary installation bazza. There have been a few on the same site ( turfed for Wimbledon etc.). Have a visit next time you are down. I like it.

Do you have a link, Barry?

Actually scratch that. I donā€™t think the general public can cope with a deep link into your imagination and fevered dreams.
