    not using the Rough Guide

    Posted by spudulike 21 June 2006

    The Rough Guide is full of pretentious nonsense written and edited by people who are obsessed with appearing right-on and original. Recommending a night on the town in Newcastle has to be proof of this. I mean, come on! And what a surprise that these people lay into Buckingham Palace - you don't have to be a flippin' royalist to enjoy this kind thing you know!

    Other recommendation: Winchester is pleasant.

    Go to a bookshop and buy a guide - any of them - that isn't so incredibly irritating. I have some respect for Rough Guides, some titles are excellent, but this is just a cheap attempt to get attention.
    And Winchester is in Hampshire.
