Been to so many gigs where Jeff has been at the front doing his thing and he's never blocked my view. If it really bothered musicians that he wasn't going to pay for the gig than I'm sure they would tell him that guestlist was full or something but they don't. I'm sure it's nice for a lot of smaller/support bands that someone in the audience actually looks like they want to be there.

Hi thanks for the feedback - I have bought the site off the Caffe Gusto group - you have some valid points - the a board and the fridge but as you'll appreciate it's tough starting out and will replace / improve as I go on - recycling the a board was the only option at the time- do you like Barry White? Did you try the coffee? The Panini's do need better presentation but hopefully you noticed the ingredients? And please take a look at the garden if you get a chance. Also our cakes are awesome made by Bosh - Thanks and please pop in for a coffee sometime ATB Simon Penfold

Putting oneself forward for election as mayor is an invitation to be approached and even badgered in a public place when one lives in a democracy. Being stalked is never that public an activity. Public figures have an obligation to develop a modicum of ability to self-monitor in terms of behaviour and choice of vocabulary. I hope Mr Ferguson really did listen, it's not his forte. At 'Give Me Back My Broken Night' last month he talked all the way through the participants giving feedback... when challenged, he said he was asking someone to feedback from his own group. The person he was talking to was a female on his left, the person he said he was asking was a male on his right. I was at mayoral hustings at Common Commotion or Creative Common as some call it, at Temple Meads. Mr Ferguson was keen to tell us that he understood why all of us there did not want a mayor .... well some people there did want a mayor. He can't possibly have known the individual reasons why some people didn't. I used to avoid the bear-pit as it attracted people whose needs were (and still are not) provided for in late 20th and 21st century Bristol. ie they swore at and hassled passersby. If the bear-pit event was to say to Bristol "look, it's now a safe, un-threatening place to be and to visit" ... then both Mr Ferguson and Mr Saville have done a great dis-service to the organisations and individuals involved in attempting re-generation of this thoroughfare.
