Hi Kerry Closed down now. Think it changed name from Vision to Purple. That has also gone. That area of Queen St is being re-developed at the moment. More shops.....I think. Showing my age now but I remember Vision as The Top Rank club..many years ago Jackie x |

Gosh Newport sounds pretty bad by way of reading it does not place Wales in a good light at all, it can not be any worse than some other towns at night surely. |

Hello, I live in Barry, South Wales. I wasn't born here, though. According to my research I am 50% Scottish, 25% Welsh, and 25% English. My mother ( from Dundee) reckoned there was an Irish connection somewhere, but haven't found it yet. Anyway, South Wales is a nice place to be, lots of nice places around here, seaside, countryside, and Cardiff for shops(!),Museum, Castle, etc. Cheers Bea. |

Can`t remember what the other 4 were but it was in the local paper lol!! I remember before I got pregnant with Kian. I was out in Zanzibar with some friends, I accidently banged into this bloke and apologised and offered to buy him another drink, he was fine, really great and accepted, his girlfriend however hurled abuse and her drink at me!!! xxxx |
