MAN About Town without doubt encapsulates what is great about living in this city.

This week I note how he enjoys sitting on the steps of Martyrs’ Memorial…and “truth be told, I could sit there for 24 hours a day… watching the world go by”.

What a splendid idea! I’m sure readers would sponsor the city’s chief sketch writer to soak up life at this city-centre spot for an entire day in an effort to raise money for a cause of his choice.

Yours hopefully.
