Now l have seen it all. Peering through the grill at the Cross Bath – opposite the Thermae Spa – a Roman centurion in full armour climbing out of the steaming thermal waters!
The ‘sparks’ (electrician) – on duty with a lamp outside – told me they were were a private production company making a promotional package for Bath Tourism Office.


Obviously a fully-clothed centurion is a much better image but of course the genuine Romans here two thousand years ago would have worn a lot less!

Elsewhere in town it is sad to see how many granite kerb stones are being dislodged by heavy vehicles parking wheels upon them.

I hope B&NES will put their re-instatement on the list of things to do – but it will have to go down after potholes l suppose.
