Wouldn't call it strange, that's the mindset of Councillors who don't know what they are doing.

We might get a cultural tour of the City Hall, St. Paul's Church, St. Andrew's Church (though planning is in the pipeline by the Y.M.C.A.), The White Horse pub, the 208 pub, the Clachan bar, the Quality cafe, Peddie's (tho' there is apparent interest in the building) and the old Vic pub, not forgetting McEwans and several other empty premises.

The Cooncil should put together a DVD of all this to the soundtrack of Jimmy Shand.

City of culture. The only place where you can put a line on, drop stuff off at the charity shop, get a haircut, grab a tea and buy some batteries for a pound all in the same street!

to be honest, that sums up pretty much every town high street anywhere. Perth's no different.

Stoke on Trent, Sunderland, Coventry, Paisley, maybe more

The other one is Hereford as far as I know. That's where Mott the Hoople come from....also.a famous FA Cup win....some decent cider.......and.er..thats it!

Just out of interest...what defines "Culture" in this competition? Art Galleries?, Salmon fishing?, independent shops? Music scene? concert halls? Or a load of fancy flower pots and illuminations lighting up the Skinnergate?

According to wiki, deffo an EU thing. 

 

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Capital_of_Culture

Although the Boss points out that the application is for the UK City of Culture, presumably the U.K. Nominee as the European City, which could still go ahead as a purely U.K. thing, without the nomination.

If we are out of Europe by then.

And, not out of the UK.

So, all pretty straightforward.
