Including York, Chippy, London, Gib. they haven't got a clue. Soton isn't the prettiest of cities but you won't find many with more central green park areas. plus the common. Plus if they took their time to check its history and historical building and monuments they would realise there is much more to Soton than meets the eye, mind you the city council doesn't try to make something of the historical parts of the city so why would a journalist.
