what to do in Bristol
Rarely (!) I'm probably going to have about 3 hours tomorrow between
various engagements in Bristol- around 2.30 onwards. I've never had the time to do anything when I've been there before. I'll be at St. George's Hall, so somewhere fairly accessible to there would be handy. I have a wide range of interests... -- David Horne- http://www.davidhorne.net usenet (at) davidhorne (dot) co (dot) uk http://homepage.mac.com/davidhornecomposer http://soundjunction.org |

Yes - plus Bristol-made buses and motor-bikes (amongst other exhibits). http://www.bristol-city.gov.uk/ccm/c...9A30D406E CDB There is a rumour in the local press that the council is thinking of closing the museum, which in my opinion would be a tragedy.

At the moment it is only a rumour. The irony of it is that visitor numbers to Bristol museums are increasing: I have been told that the 2004 figures indicate 611,000 although I don't yet know whether this is for all Bristol's council-owned museums or just the City Museum and Art Gallery. I'm going to a presentation there tomorrow so I'll be able to find out more then, and I'll ask them about the Industrial Museum too. (2003 figures from Star UK show 130,000 visitors to the Industrial Museum). Keith, Bristol, UK Remove numbers for email replies |

I'll grudgingly admit to a mild interest in cars- when they're in museums! Flawless train journey down from Manchester BTW, including the change at Birmingham. On both trains, I had a table, powerpoint for the laptop, and listened to R4's Today programme on the train's audio system. Only annoyance was that as the train sped through King's Norton, R4 cut into the local car traffic, which cut off an interview I was really interested in! The irony of it, bleeding traffic reports when I'm on the train! Of course, I must have been hallucinating, as we all know that UK trains are ****... Anyway, off to work! -- David Horne- http://www.davidhorne.net usenet (at) davidhorne (dot) co (dot) uk http://homepage.mac.com/davidhornecomposer http://soundjunction.org |

The irony of it, bleeding traffic reports when I'm on the train! they should have RDS switched off for trains, unless you want to hear about train delays, I suppose. Of course, in a car you can choose your own radio station while you luxuriate in your leather seats that nobody has put thier feet on :-) Of course, I must have been hallucinating, as we all know that UK trains are ****... The ones round here are quite modern nowadays, the problem tends to be a) the passengers b) the cost c) they dont go where I want to go! d) Ive not tried asking them to stop so I can take a photo :-) Anyway, off to work! dont miss the train by posting! -- Mike Reid Walk-eat-photos UK "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" -- you can email us@ this site Walk-eat-photos Spain "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" -- dontuse@ all, it's a spamtrap |
