Didn't use the city centre for Glasgow, didn't even use the more built up part of the West End. Disappointing.

It looks like someone has dumped a load of soil in Bham, Manc and 'pool.

Shame they're not accurate topographically as to which bits would flood. Bham's traditional core is on a sandstone ridge which is 40m above Digbeth by the bullring so flooding wouldn't be quite as nicely uniform. Oh well.

You can see my bedroom window in that shot


Awesome shots Crusty - where did you find these? The city centre shot is cracking.


Great thread btw - some of those Manchester pics are fantastic.

I like the shot of the Villas in Glasgow. Not a part of Glasgow that is shown on these forums very often.

Live local is rather (massively) underrated, it's phenomenal and yet it's still pretty much under the radar especially for microsoft.

Some great shots there of weegieland,Crusty i think that gives me an idea...
