Bradford stupidity
Last year in Bradford, the council rented out a building in order to demonstrate some ideas about the future development of the city. It was open to the public and was like a gallery with various pictures and demonstrations. One idea was to turn Centenary Square (the central square in Bradford city centre) into a lake of some sort. Anyway, I was in there one day and there was an 'artists impression' of what this imagined lake might look like. It showed families and children paddling in the water, having a picnic, dogs running around etc etc, general loveliness. There were a couple of fellas looking at this picture. One of them says to the other: "will they be able to walk on water?" the other guy paused for a moment. he said again: "will people be able to magically walk on water, like properly?"
I walked out and never went back.
