Not really. You might get an occasional fishy whiff when a taxi or bus goes by but it's no stronger than what you'd sense if you asked past your local fishmongers. There's so many cafes and restaurants you mostly smell delicious food.

What you have to do while you are there is sit outside a cafe in st mark's square and have a Coca Cola with ice and lemon in it, costs an absolute fortune but Italian Coca Cola is the absolute best in the world and the idea of sub par lemons is an affront to them.

Edit: and if you ask Italian waiters nicely what olive oil goes best with your pizza they will bring you the good non tourist stuff that hasn't been sat out for three weeks from the kitchen.

When you go to a real ale pub, the strongest beer and the best beer are the same thing, right?

It is Manchester Science Festival starting from tomorrow, so if you are round that area there is lots of good stuff to see and do.

I bought tickets for the ball pool thing whilst really smashed weeks ago and now I can't go because of work.

I went to brew a beer at Derventio brewery in Derby earlier in the year. The blokes there gave us breakfast of a bacon cob and lunch of a cheese and onion cob, I assume people in Derby live on a diet of cobs and pints of mild.

I won't be there so my reasoning is pure, if he's at the special Chesterfield Christmas market then this is where you should meet. One/only good thing about this place is that it's a train hub. I can pretty much pick any city in the UK and there will be a train there within half an hour and as there are only two platforms there is no cocking around. Plus it's near the town centre so you won't need to taxi/bus/walk for ages.

Edit: Chesterfield is a market town btw, old people get bussed in and everything.

You've got me craving a breakfast cob now. Lucky I've got my morning pint to tide me over.

... aaand also go away and don't come back
Cobs are for corn, say baps or barms like good, normal people

Bun is only acceptable when there is a burger and/or icing sugar involved

Also the Christmas lights are being set up in Liverpool, getting hyped

My mother is from North Yorkshire, my father is from London. The arguments about what is a bun, what is a cake "YOU CANT CALL THE REST OF THEM BUNS IF YOU CALL THAT ONE A FAIRY CAKE ADDING CREAM DOES NOT CHANGE WHAT IT IS!!!!" has scarred me for life.

A lot of the names people use have their own type rather than being generic, a bun is different from a barm cake imo

Cake, is it a drug, or is it simply a delicious chocolatey piece of heaven?
They really are not taking about baps, given they've included rowies...

In Northern Ireland a ring doughnut is called a gravy ring, whilst a doughnut is exclusively one without a hole for example a jam doughnut. It is the dumbest food based colloquialism.
