I FOR one have no pride in what Bolton town centre has to offer.

You only have to walk round the town too see why - you get hassled by people asking you if you have had an accident or to buy a student joke magazine.

As far as the shops are concerned, well, they are a disgrace. Bolton must be the home of all the charity shops and pound shops.

For a town that likes to think of itself as a "city", they are having a laugh. I would not recommend anyone to shop in Bolton. I travel to Manchester to do my shopping.
