28/02/2025

Can’t wait for this movie to come out.
"No Ordinary Heist" is based on the first story of my walking tour.
The biggest bank robbery in the history of the UK.

This junction where four roads meet, North Street, Waring Street, Bridge Street and Rosemary Street used to be where the road distance to Belfast were once measured.

on Royal Avenue in Belfast has had a big renovation.
One of the bars is a Stock Exchange bar.
There is a big screen with the price of all the drinks on it and just like the stock exchange the price goes up and down depending on how much a drink is selling.
If lots of people are drinking Guinness then the price of Guinness keeps going up.
Last week there were two hen parties there and they were all drinking cocktails and the price of Guinness dropped to £4 a pint.
There is no bar in the city centre selling Guinness at £4
A great novel idea and I hope it works for them, sounds good for a fun night out.

It’s not nice to brag about yourself but I think this time its justified.
I just won the employee of the year for If Buildings Could Talk Tour for the 5th year in a row.
I would like to thank myself for voting for me.
Here’s to 2025 where I am going for 6 in a row

I did an evening tour this evening with a lovely team from
They were going out for the evening but wanted to do something before going to eat and I was the lucky person who got to take them on tour.
Thank you to everyone from American Holidays.

My tours run on Saturday and Sunday at 10am and 1pm but if you want to say think you to your team for their years work I can do evening tours.
As long as there are 5 or more people and the earliest I can do a tour is 5pm.
Contact me if you are interested in an evening tour.

A new piece of street art in Bank Square this weekend.
When I was walking past in the morning time I took the first photo.
Later that evening one of my guests was going to Kelly's Cellars and she sent me the second photo.

The most unusual tip I have ever been given and I cant wait to try it out.
Vermont Maple Syrup, I have been told its the best Maple Syrup in the world.
Roll on breakfast time tomorrow so I can try this on my pancakes.

I love comedy in an ad.
Nothing to do with a walking tour but just an ad I thought was very witty.

It doesn't have to be a big tour to be a good tour.
This tour today was powerful fun.

Idea for Christmas night out.

My tours run on Saturday and Sunday but I had a special tour last night.

A couple from Canada took my tour in April 2021 and they are back in N Ireland with a group for a golf holiday.
Christopher wanted his group to experience my tour so I took them out last night at 6:30pm.
The place looks so different at night time.

This is something I can do from now to Christmas if anyone is interested in a private group tour before going for Christmas drinks.
The tour would have to be some time from 5pm onwards and with at least 8 guests.
There is no option to book this online so drop me a message if interested.

Cannon and Ball are back.
Their plaque at the end of Great Victoria Street was missing due to street works but I see it has now been replaced.

Looks like we going to lose this lovely bit of street art of the sleeping girl?
It’s on Queen Street.
The building behind it was originally a children’s hospital and during the troubles it was Queen Street police station.
It has recently been granted planning permission to become a boutique hotel.
It will make a lovely hotel but when construction starts the art will have to go.
You can see in the first photo that nature took over and started to grow trees on the building and the second photo I took last weekend where work has started to clean it up.

Another casualty of the Celebrity Tree Trail in Belfast.
A few weeks ago we lost Cliff Richard because of street works.
His plaque was outside Starbucks on Great Victoria Street and now we have lost Cannon and Ball who had theirs at the end of Great Victoria Street opposite Grand Opera house.
If we lose any more we will have to down grade the name of the street to Good Victoria Street.

This could be the last weekend of the year where forecast is to be dry.
Why not make the most of it and come along on a Walking Tour of the city.

I first posted this 18 months ago and it still makes me giggle.
The lady must have had poor eyesight.
