Yes, I'd heard that there were a few criminals living in the hills overlooking Bath... Well, you would know all about interesting characters living in the hills, wouldn't you?...Quote from bignosemac's Daily Mash article: Quote from: Daily Mash The Sunday Times also praised Bristol for having all its rich people live together on a big hill, in a weird kind of segregation that gives it ^an interesting science fiction feel^.
