We've never noticed before, but then it has been a very long time since either of us has stayed in the Micklegate area. Costumed hoards roam the streets; intimidating and prowling, the obvious atmosphere of both predatory sex and aggression is palpable. Ruining the vibe and so out of keeping with this historic city. Such a shame that one of the most beautiful & important cities in England can be marred by a very small minority. The mobs have already taken over Newcastle, Blackpool, Manchester, Liverpool and pretty much every major city in the North; can't they leave a few for everyone else?
I am reassured that they don't venture from the Micklegate into the city beyond the River Ouse, which may provide further explanation as to why we haven't noticed previously.
Thankfully we found the sanctuary of Brigantes bar, an oasis in a desert of theme pubs and identikit bars. Highly recommended.
