Hard luck, I wouldn't want to have to work in Abertawe and/or have to do the 50+ motorway miles back and fore all the time...

Depends where you are working most doesn't it? If it is an even split then either is good, but, if it is more Cardiff or Abertawe then pick the one you'll be at more.

to be honest the cardiff side of the swansea-cardiff route is'nt too bad (porthcawl area may be worth a look)

The west of Cardiff is quite nice, and there are quiet a few good roads that way

yea, not ideal, but got to do what ive got to do! I know and like swansea so my heart tells me to go there. Im so busy at the moment I havent had a chance to go and look around yet

Does it still smell funny there?

I think you're thinking of Port Toilet.

Hell, Cardiff city centre smells funny sometimes (when Brains are brewing) too.

you can never find the right way though and end up on the motorway

MMMMM beerey yeasty smell love it

moved from cardiff to wolverhampton where they also have brewery in town MMMMMM

The Brian Brewery is only about 1/2 a mile from where I work so if they open the vats we get the smell full on. It is great on cold mornings, ha ha

Ahh it was bridgwater i was thinking of, different place.
Smelt of plastic or something all the time

I am pretty sure everywhere smells of something, just depends if you like it or not.

Plymouth always used to smell of salt to me, London of car fumes, Hull of fish etc
