Off Topic Hull City Centre Public Realm Strategy

But that’s what the article said...that you can’t just turn up after 8 and get a table

 

Disappointing but as castro said it's not unique to hull

 

I’m not saying it’s right. I was just pointing out that OLM seemed to be questioning the article but saying pretty much the same thing

 

My daughter lives in Edinburgh and when I've been it seems like a ghost town at times around 9pm

 

Actually Monday nights are the worst option
I occasionally end up out on Monday with work and options are pretty limited then

I agree that they’ll stay open if needed/wanted
I think it’s a gradual thing actually. They’ll stay open a bit longer to test it, if no one uses them they close earlier.

 

I did say in this country. But I will include Scotland in that.

 

Oh. Thank you very much. That's very kind of you. Are you still on this? Seriously?

 

Reminds me of the Keith Waterhouse skit where a customer asks for something and is told they don't stock it as there is no demand. It is funny they are told, you must be the tenth person today who has asked about it.

Won't ever know unless they try it. Other European countries have places serving later than here. Our problem has always been until relatively recently the separation of pubs as being for drinking only, and mainly a male preserve, and families not going out together like they do in Europe.

 

Are you Julian? OrJulian's spokesman? Seriously?

 

Yes I am Julian and so is Kempton

 

Yeah I wasn' t doubting it.
There was some foreign prem footballers last year complaining about how early London seems to close down.
Can' remember which ones it was though

 

There’s only 1 restaurant in Chelsea where you can eat 24 hours, very very few where you can eat after 10 pm.
People just don’t want to eat after 10pm

 

Yes i agree i certainly don't.

 

Unless you have a pocket full of ill gotten gains!!!!

 

I was. Scoffing a load of tapas and a t bone steak at two in the morning in Barcelona a few weeks ago.

 

Yes, but Barcelona is a dump with nothing to do. That is why they get such large crowds atfootball matches.

 

So that's it. You don't so nobody does. Shift workers, people on holiday...

 

No just me personally.
Don' mind the odd snack though.

 

Went to the Italian link to the City of Hull at the Streetlife place over the weekend, not a lot to see really, a cine film from the 60's of Penna's ice cream van Mr Whirly, (I think Mr Whippy was about at this time as well but that wasn't Penna's). There was some interesting notice boards giving information on various subjects, religion, how the Italians came to be in Hull, and also some of the diseases around at that time. But the links to Hull concentrated on 2 families Penna's and O Toffolo. The Toffolo people did a lot of the trerazzo tiling on departments stores, hotels, and other buildings around the area neither firm seem to be in business today. Quite a few old pictures to see and the place was busy at times, I enjoyed it but maybe I was expecting more for some reason.
