Off Topic Hull City Centre Public Realm Strategy

Although no outward visible signs yet, work seems to have started on the change to the former Hull College Park Street site. According the Planning Application the building is going to be transformed into a 35 bedroomed hotel and 8 serviced apartments. No time scale is given and no indication of who is doing the work, but the former college car park gates were open and a skip was placed at the former College back doors, which were open.

(And this one, duh, well you can't delete can you, unless you are a mod).

 

It was like that in Aberdeen, it's because it is bloody cold up there.

 

On a sort of similar note, I know someone who was told by an employee at the Job Centre that the reason for long queues and slow service that day was that they were short staffed. Now if only they could have found someone looking for work...

 

Which nutters want to go out for a meal after 8 anyway? Crackpots in my opinion,

You should only want to eat a big meal after 8pm if you're ****ered and then a takeaway is perfectly fine.

Tea after 8! not in my house.

 

Tea? We are talking about dinner.

Lots of nutters all around the world. They live in places where everywhere isn't shut early like in this country.

 

There will prob have been half the staff off on sick because you get paid !!

 

Then they should have had their dinner at dinner time 12.00 to 1.00PM

 

Do you have your lunch at night?

 

Breakfast - Dinner - Tea - (Supper if you must)

Me mam was a dinner lady and never did a night shift. FACT the end.

 

I used to get luncheon, not dinner vouchers, for my midday meal years ago. FACT.

Did you used to ask what for us teas in a Wessie accent?

 

I hardly ever eat before 8pm!!

 

The luncheon voucher scheme dates to 1946, when food rationing was still in force following the end of the war. A way of getting workers to eat a healthy meal that the employer couldn't provide. By the 1970's they were being used as payment in Cynthia Payne's brothel.

No

 

Not in more advanced areas.

 

LVs didn't come out in this country until 1954. Used to use mine in the Chinese in middle of Hull. In Leeds they used to take them in the Hofbrauhaus for the lunchtime stripper show. Not as much attention was paid in afternoon training sessions as you struggled to keep your eyes open.
I remember when we used to go to training weeks there. Clive Jenkins' union took over for indoor staff. He said it was discriminatory because the value of the LVs given to staff on training weeks was more than the value of the subsidised canteen meal. The company said fine, they would make everyone eat in tbe canteen. So they extended the canteen and had to employ more staff and the prices in the canteen went up. He considered that a victory for him and his members.

 

Not really my musical taste but at one time I thought that Belinda was a heck of a stunner, went a bit awry after Heaven Is A Place On Earth.

 

Cheers for the back up boys. They probably have tea for breakfast and tiffin for supper in Norwich.

 

Brid ?
