I got a bus to Marist College, this was 71 onwards, so buses without marionette strings then ! I used to pray it reached me on Southcoates Lane before the 'pramlanders' of David Lister got to me ... the tie, blazer, badge and cap was like a feckin' 'come and kill me' sign!
What's a pramlander when it's at home. I ask mainly because my old man would have been at David Lister in 71.
It was a joke trying to eek out any former David Lister pupils! Actually most of my friends were at DL, it was literally across the road from where I grew up. There used to a maternity wear and accessories shop called 'Pramland', and back in the day the joke was connected with teenage schoolgirl pregnancies at the school. Of course it was more myth than fact, but I often heard the 'nickname' around that time, the memory just stuck!
I was at Lister before I went to Trinity House, it was a good sport playing school back then - I was at Courtney Street juniors/infants before that, Lister with it's 1000+ kids was enormous in comparison .
Feckin right Chazz, they were more scary than the lads. The first female I ever properly kissed was at David Lister. Mind you, being at Marist and at the time, after the first kiss, I think I was expecting a baby 9 months later...
The first girl EVERY East Hull lad kissed properly went to David Lister .............aaahhh Jacqui S, whatever happened to her I wonder?
Pramland on Holderness Rerd. All makes sense now. I also went to Lister and I suppose I also got my first proper kiss from a Lister lass...amongst other things
There's a plan to build this opposite the new hotel... Plans for mobile farm in Hull city centre gather momentum please log in to view this image FINISHING TOUCHES are being made to plans for a ‘farm in a box’ in the centre of Hull. First mooted earlier this year, the scheme will aim to help better connect locals with food and improve understanding of where food comes from and how best to prepare it. Rooted in Hull, the not-for-profit enterprise leading the project, has been buoyed by recent grant funding and architect Dave Ettridge is now finalising a planning application with landowners The Wedge Group. The proposed site is a vacant plot next to the Royal Mail sorting office on St Peters Street. The farm is designed to be mobile so that it can be relocated according to what brownfield sites are available. It will include growing areas and livestock. Adrian Fisher, a Rooted in Hull director, said: “The impact of connecting with food is gathering momentum, we are gaining partners as they realise the need for education and and knowledge of what can be grown in the centre of a city, and then how that food can produce a good nutritious meal.” Fellow director Mark Cleaver said the project had attracted separate £5,000 contributions from The Neil Hudgell Solicitors Trust and the 4 Good Fund administered by East Riding Council, and the same amount in kind from construction firm Hobson and Porter which will help with site preparation. Mr Cleaver added: “Rooted in Hull is still looking for further funding and have lots of elements of the farm that could be sponsored.” Anyone interested can contact Mark Cleaver on email at [email protected] http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news...entre-gather-momentum-1-7550983#ixzz3qnsD2Hqf
