The inner city. 98 or so % of it were bombed away in 1944, hence the ugly buildings.

My 21" monitor keeps me warm <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> Yeah if you step outside on some of the colder days, your spit will literally freeze before it hits the ground, and combine that with wind and snow you will wish you didn't step outside. But cold winters and hot summers give the year nice variation, so you don't get bored.
