My Bath: Centre has that Covent Garden buzz

“Ooooh, who's the irate red arrower with a cob on today??

Handbags at dawn to that man :) I think "someone" should set up a forum post or one on this thread asking us all the very same question??”

“And also Pompeybelle come to think of it.”

“I would like to read versions from Viscount Vixley and Rogerh3.”

“"this dismal and anodyne paper."

Yes, and add to that this dreadful website!!! It is by far the worst website I have ever used....I would not use it except that I wish to glean some snippets of my local news.”

“My favourite of Bath (and this article) is the EXIT!”

“I agree with 1MVBR, this has been a dismal and anodyne series, entirely in keeping with this dismal and anodyne paper.”

“Well then it wasn't a very well made point. By saying Blackpool is a poor man's Las Vegas, you implied that Bath is similarly inferior to Covent Garden. It seems I misunderstood, but if you read your initial comment again you'll probably see why.

Anyway, let's hope Brenda Blethyn is a little more interesting next week. If not, I think this feature should be canned immediately.”

“""They're all very different places with very specific strengths and weaknesses""

Er, that was the point!! Covent Garden is not Bath and vice versa. They are two very different places with different infrastructure and different appeal. When people talk of Blackpool casinos making it "like Las Vegas" it makes me cringe. There is nowhere like Vegas - it is unique and vast, and even with ten casinos Blackpool could not come close. Of Course, Vegas doesn't have a beach or donkeys......... it does have an Eiffel Tower though!”

“To some extent I know what you mean tomsjan - this whole series of 'My Bath' features has left me rather cold, with a string of personalities offering vague and repetitive answers to bland questions whilst trying not to offend anyone they fail to mention.

However, Sirona isn't really a company in any meaningful sense, and I don't think Mr Knighton is trying to advertise it so much as highlight the good work many of his employees are engaged in in B&NES.

As for your Blackpool / Las Vegas / Covent Garden / Bath comment, I couldn't disagree more. They're all very different places with very specific strengths and weaknesses. I'm hopelessly biased admittedly, but you'd have to pay me quite a lot of money before I'd swap Bath for any of the other three as a place to live.”

“Saying Bath is like Covent Garden is a little like saying Blackpool is like Las Vegas!

"""What would your perfect day in Bath entail?

I work for a great organisation that delivers lots of badly needed health and care services in and around Bath. Occasionally I am privileged to meet our clients and users and to see the benefit that we bring to people's lives. Therefore time visiting our front line services, seeing the appreciation our communities have for what we do, always leaves me feeling fulfilled and immensely proud of the staff and leadership of Sirona."""

Not so much an answer as an advert for his company.

"""What's your favourite part of Bath?

I love walking around the centre where there is so much street activity going on. This gives a real Covent Garden buzz of a vibrant centre. At the same time I also love being out in the immediate countryside and hills."""

So that would be all of it then?

"""Where would you meet friends for a drink?

I don't really drink ........"""

What a non-article this is!”
