Parked up in Mill Street at lunchtime.
Walked from there to Market Square. On the way up the high street I nearly got knocked over not once but twice by youths on bikes riding the wrong way up the PEDESTRIANISED zone. Going past Maccies there was a group of idiots making nuisances of themselves, one of whom nearly got pushed into me by his mate. All around there were paper napkins and discarded burger wrappers blowing in the wind. Followed by the customary Beeeeeg Ishooo as you go past Smith's. Finally made it to Number 3 for lunch with a mate who had had much the same experience. On the way back I got beeped at by a guy in a EV6 for not hearing come up behind me (well it was windy and I didn't hear him, even though his car was making the obligatory slow speed noise). He was off course driving in the PEDESTRIANISED ZONE.
I felt Stafford was a hateful place to be today. I love lunch or an evening meal and drinks at Number 3. But you've really got to be dedicated not to just bugger off to a much better managed town centre to spend your money.
