Liberty's wine Bar on Church Square - remember that got smashed up when I was at the Art College in the mid 90's, around the same time as the big roundabout was pedestrianised and Christ Church was no longer an island!

Because it had probably been pasteurised and the cream removed.

Where do you think all the fresh cream comes from they sell, all milk is pasteurised to kill any bacteria not unless you buy it direct from a farm.

The boat that used to take people over to the town from the headland and back. Not sure when it was but I never got to see one. Come to think of it that would probably work now for 6 months of the year taking tourists across to see St.Hilda's from marina and back. sctatchinghead possibly even to Seaton and back which would help promote Seaton instead of spending millions on crap to try to improve it.sctatchinghead also if you dropped tourists in either place pick them up 2 hours later meaning 2 hours to spend money on food entertainment etc that would boost the economy. :wink:
