The new flood defences stop short of this, could be a problem.

My mam was a housewife. From the day she married my dad she cooked a dinner, meat and 2 veg, every day, on the table at 1215, for when my dad came back from work. She'd then cook tea, on the table at 1800 for my dad back from work again. He'd then go out to play snooker until 2300. They'd go out together on Saturday nights, he'd play snooker with his mates she'd sit with his mates wives. That was their life for nigh on 25 years.
It was all they knew, they thought that was how it was. It wasn't until us kids left home and my dad retired that she realised she could have a life. My dad didn't know what hit him! After my dad died my mam just built a completely new life for herself, travel, friends, going out, all normal stuff.

Phew, not sure where all that came from, sorry chaps...

That to some degree mirrors what it was like for my parents. Though my father couldn't get home for lunch, tea was on the table at 6 pm. My father went out every night for a pint, though, would only go out at 9 pm until 10.30 pm.

When my Dad died, my mother was the same, she learned to drive, started having holidays overseas, which she had never done before.

Forgot to say on our town walk yesterday the Quayside near Minerva is now complete looks really nice , good design of tiered walls red brick and neutral flooring looks well. Only part missing is the walkway from the pier to opposite the deep around the River Hull entrance is still closed off for some reason . Bloody cold and windy on pier head - as usual !!

Paul Flynn. Don't think he was a scouser.
Started off pushing hot dog barrows from a lock up down Spring Bank into town.
Bun in the oven and in later life had a chippie on Bridlington Harbour.

Sorry I decided to be a bit of a pedant , he was born in Liverpool in 41 I’d read.
Aaccording to the funeral notice. I was actually just checking that my age related memory issues hadn’t got worse - according to my wife and grandkids

Wife met friend from out of town last Saturday and went in HOH found it to be really busy and lively so maybe it will survive. On another note I play golf and 5 golf mates never go into town to Humber St , walks round the marina and riverfront or history etc. They look at me blank when I enthuse about the plus points of the city etc. My wife is not from here and loves the waterfront and all these things she’sees’ them like I do. Maybe I’m flogging a dead horse with them who just don’t have the imagination for history etc.
A builder I knew used to say ‘they are just buildings aren’t they ‘ !!
Yes we are all different I know
Laziness comes into it but the longer they stay out the less confident with the traffic systems they are, which doesn’t help.

20 Years of The Deep, money well spent for putting Hull on the map.
Also enjoyed some good visits with the children when they were younger, as well as one 'overnighter' with juniors Cubs group.

Weren’t they supposed to be adding something marine related next to the deep?

It’s a fantastic place, been loads of times with our kids.

Sounds great, caught some of the discussion about it on the radio yesterday. I love the fact that the trees to be planted are already established, they are craning them into position. At least with them being more mature it should hopefully prevent tree vandalism. I remember playing football on 5 a side pitches near Tesco on Hall Road and driving back through Orchard Park to Cottingham, loads of little scrotums had snapped about 20 odd new tree saplings.
