Just had a mate stay who hasn't been to Leicester for 13 years....he lives in Canada, but he was blown away by how good the city centre is....
I initially thought his comments were taking the p#ss but he was serious. His list was:
Great shopping, street and mall.
Wonderful restaurants
History and culture
Very safe at any time of the day
Easy parking
He view is that once all the Richard stuff is completed people will come from all over to visit this strong vibrant exciting safe clean city.
Maybe Sir (soon to be Lord) Peter was right all along!!!! Maybe we don't see the bigger picture living here every day.
