The Bankers is not a traditional pub but it is dodgy as hell and so is the direct area next to it. That's why I said we could end up bookending the whole city centre with that type of area. Moorfoot was always a bit rough and ready anyway.

The whole of the city centre is dodgy as hell. Every corner has beggars, even Surrey Street now! If The Banker's Draft can turn a profit in one corner of the city centre, I don't see why a similar bar can't do it on The Moor. May as well have good amenities in these dodgy parts.

Do you want to keep digging?  

I would supply the excavator, but those big things cost a LOT of money.

Not sure I'd call the Bankers good amenities!

But you seem to like visiting it - I wonder why?

A 'language school' is not exactly what was being referred to in the post you referenced, and the SHC is behind Fargate - not the Moor.

I never said it was behind The Moor. Again you fail to grasp the point and context. Either that or you are deliberately misinterpreting my posts.

It's no different to walking between shops on The Moor.

Selectively quoting me to suit you opinion is not clever. In my opinion the Moor is the wrong place for a pub, you may differ, which is fine. It may be resolved when/if one of the pub chains opens up one on the Moor. By the way, BHS was on the Moor,  just saying.

Because my bank is there, the shops which have the things I need are there and the local theatres etc are there.

If anyone can work out what this poster is trying to say - would they let me know?

I quoted the crux of what your post was. Your point was that people wouldn't walk from a shop on The Moor, to a pub on The Moor, was it not?

Any comments on BHS love since you are in backtracking mode.
