- Perhaps that might explain why they are repairing it at the moment. How about
- the walkers (can't spell pedtrastians) who have to cross it every day. Who
- built that really crap bridge near the RM sorting office. So bad that nobody
- used it so the council put up six foot high railings between the carridge ways.
- So you're forced to use that bloody bridge.

- Come on theres a lot more in Coventry than it's ring road. Like a shopping
- priceint designed like a 3D maze. A cathedral with no roof. A Lady ridding
- a horse with no kit on. Coventry also boasts two universities yet I'll admit
- that one of them has a rather dense geography department if they think that
- they are in a town 12 miles away.
