The new bus station in Bristol was opened last week. It's very different from how it used to be. Out go fag ends, drunks, mad people and old ladies with loads of shopping. In come smart, young, Metro-reading, cappucino-drinking 21st century people. Or I think that's the plan.

It's certainly a lot cleaner than before.
Last night I heard some Americans ask a cleaner if there was a cafe. "Yes", he said and pointed enthusiastically to a boarded up area, "...it's being built." I think the Americans decided not to bother waiting.

They've installed some funny artwork. It consists of four large clocks, each with only one hand, standing on the floor. The hand moves on just one of the clocks. What does it all mean? There is also another one-handed clock on a pole outside the bus station.
