How to date Luton Girls
by chet on Nov.22, 2008, under Luton Dating, Luton Town
If you’re looking to date Luton girls and really keep their interest, you must have a game plan. Take it from someone who has dated and became friends with women from all corners of London, and has tried Luton dating during an extended trip.
Sincerity goes a long way in Luton dating. Dating beautiful women does not mean that you have to shell out a lot of cash and take these Luton girls to the fanciest places you know. Contrary to popular belief, a lot of women would rather share a very good conversation with you over a cold one while you are in the getting to know each other phase of your friendship.
A bit of manly aggressiveness won’t hurt but the main aspect of your Luton dating plans should be to make friends initially and be very social in the popular hang out places. Don’t worry if you don’t know anyone in the locality; you’re there to interact and you will soon find that there are a lot of gregarious Lutonians in the central pub district. Regardless if you’re just visiting or you went there to meet some Luton girls that you connected with online, your best bet at making some romantic connections is to keep an approachable stance.
Speaking of online, Luton dating over the internet is quickly becoming popular, as many more people who want to connect with people from the UK (particularly those from Luton) are flocking to these sites to find if they could meet the prettiest Luton girls. It’s worth a guy’s time to try online dating. However, unlike offline dates, online dating needs a little bit more effort. In a bar somewhere in Luton, you can simply approach, introduce yourself and have a short chat. In an online dating site, you must narrow your search to town, province and country to find the Luton girls who are members of the dating service.
Narrow down your search according to preferences and make sure to read all about your potential date on her dating profile. Email and chatting should be effortless when you’ve done your assignment and learned what she likes to do on her spare time and what she does for a living (which is indicated in her dating profile).

Arndale Shops
by chet on Nov.17, 2008, under Luton Shops, Luton Town
The entire inner centre of Luton town was demolished in order for the Arndale to be built. It was founded by Arnold Hagenbach (a baker turned business man) and Sam Chippendale (an estate agent) who got the idea from the United States. Each of the Arndales they built quickly became a success. Unfortunately, the town’s historic roads and businesses had to give way. They did however name the aisles by the names of the roads that were lost.

Luton Entertainment Hot Spots
by chet on Nov.17, 2008, under Entertainment, Luton Shops, Luton Town
Luton offers a range of entertainment and nightlife as you would expect for a town of its size. There is the Galaxy Centre with a Cineworld cinema, bowling alley, arcades and restaurants/bars such as Nando’s and Weatherspoons.
Cineworld is multi screen cinema showing the latest Hollywood movies and the occassional special screenings. If you are a student or go at certain times, you can benefit from reduced rates.
There are a number of bars in the town including a few swish new bars such as Bellini’s and the new G Casino bar. The casino opens till the early hours so there’s always somewhere to head after the bars close. There are of course the usual pub favourites such as The Heights, Brookes and Weatherspoons.

History of Luton
by chet on Nov.13, 2008, under History, Luton Town
6th Century
The saxons created the first settlement/farm by the river Lea in Luton when they conquered Bedfordshire. Most people lived by farming and the town became a central point between surrounding villages as Luton had a market. By the middle ages, the population had risen to around 1,500 people.
Middle Ages
Luton had 6 mills with one of the mills giving the name to Mill Street. The Lord of the Manor built a castle in 1139 but it was demolished in 1154 and that is where the name Castle Street came from.

Luton Loves Nitro Cars
by chet on Nov.12, 2008, under Luton Shops
Google trends show Lutonians are some of the biggest fans of nitro cars. Could this be coming from a strong posse of boy racers in the town? What is the attraction to nitro cars?
These fuel powered model cars can reach high speeds and entertain people of all ages. These nitro model cars are generally larger than electric model cars as the high performance electronics tend to be larger for nitro cars. Mechanical wear is generally higher than electric cars but simply for the fact that you use them for longer. Their robustness however is higher than electric cars.
Do you have a nitro car? Post your comments on why we should get nitro car? Check out the youtube videos below:
