barry

A town in South Wales. Scene of an awful genetic experiment in the late 20th C, that turned everyone into a chav. Barry leaves you feeling you've just spent an hour blowing up a balloon with a hole it. The juvenile courts do a brisk trade. Like most Welsh Towns the locals set the tone with a fair share of 'go-lightlies' on high-carb, high-fat, plenty-of-it diets. Oblivious as to how stupid they look, a pleasant Saturday can be spent watching local salad- dodgers grazing in the run-down shopping area. (However cannot rival Caerphilly as 'Fat Central'} High Points: Port Road; which largely avoids the place altogether. Barry Island; which largely avoids culture altogether. The local chemical works; main attraction. The docks; which in the rain look like a lowry painting . Er....that's it.
