A
small, rather
dull city in the
county of
Worcestershire ,
UK, notable for its
cathedral, the
Lea and Perrins Worcestershire sauce factory, and regularly being
flooded by the
River Severn.
The town has a fair number of
students, having several
small colleges nearby. The largest employers in the area are the Kayes (a
mail order company) distribution centre, and the
Kayes complaints department.
Unfortunately, the
nightlife is terrible, with a few fairly
identical ritzy
nightclubs and not much else. If you must go out in Worcester, try the Appletree
pub in Lowesmore, which has a mixed crowd, decent music, and fairly lethal
four stroke.
The
public transport is, to be blunt,
fucking terrible. The main
bus station has a wonderful neo-brutalist "prison camp" feel to it, complete with guard towers and spotlights. Most buses stop running at around 11pm, so you'll be wanting to get home early lest you end up stranded there until
morning. Alternatively, there are two
train stations, if you're feeling particularly
reckless with your
cash and personal
safety, and are unconcerned with such trifling matters as
punctuality and not getting stuck just outside Malvern Link for two hours for no good reason.
That said, it can be quite a
beautiful city from certain
angles at a certain
distance under certain
light. But then, you could say that about
Coventry. Almost.
