It really could be a great tourist draw. > Absolutely agree, I was in Leuven in Belgium earlier this year and they have a square in the centre of the town that's very like the Grassmarket in terms of the shops and bars surrounding it but it's pedestrianised. It's not grassed over but that means the bars can fill it with tables and chairs when the 30,000 odd students that go to KU Leuven are there. Stewart -- You are about to enter... The Scary Door...
