Shambles Square, Manchester. Worth a visit if you're ever in my neck of the woods.

Wouldn't ever have guessed that was Manchester - looks very nice.

Ah yes, I remember them moving those buildings as part of the redevelopment of the centre after the IRA bomb in 1996.

There's been a lot of much-needed redevelopment in Manchester over recent years, Tony; the city is barely recognisable. The IRA weren't messing about with that bomb, I heard the blast in Stockport, miles away. Scary times.

As I recall, there was some regret at the time that the IRA hadn't used an even bigger bomb, then they might have taken out all of the Arndale Centre....

What I missed most was the old Corn Exchange, a huge space filled with quirky little stalls and redolent with the smell of joss sticks - now it's just another glitzy little upmarket shopping mall.

I think most Mancunians would agree that the Arndale Centre was a big mistake. Still, since that was built, developments have generally been of a far higher standard. The introduction of the Metrolink, (trams to you and me), has seen pedestrianisation of much of the inner city and that's a huge improvement.

Been to Brussels! Cathedral view is from the belfry in Ghent.

Very nice Tink.

Hope you sampled lots of nice Belgian ale :)

I DID have a sip of a few, they are nice but not really my kind of drink. Wine was good..

Belgian wine? :sh

In a foreign country I'm all in favour of drinking whatever the locals drink. Except in Ireland, that is - can't stand Guinness...

In Tink's last picture, on the left hand side, left of the tram tracks and just before the bridge, is an Irish Pub that I've spent many an evening drinking Guinness in!

No picture of the most famous Brussels landmark? Of course I mean the Mannequin Pis!

not drinking Belgian ale when in Belgium is bad enough....but drinking Guinness instead?

I DID take a picture but it is so small and BORING! The chocolate ones in the shop next door are better...
