1. Loving The Fact That City Hall Was Closed For Over A Decade Because Of "Goths"
Don't know what I'm talking about? The front doors to the city hall were closed at weekends for over ten years...because the city council feared a "goth invasion". As everyone knows, a bunch of teenagers and young adults like to gather at the benches outside city hall, chatting, messing about and generally just having a good time. While most people are aware that labels and cliques are pointless and that the vast majority of people, given the chance, are fairly dead on, some of the older generation misunderstand aesthetic for threat. As city councillor Jeffrey Dudgeon told the BBC: "It all goes back to this question of the goths. They come in large numbers and do 'goth things'." Brilliant.
