    Wishing back in time is like wishing the wheel wasn't so round!

    Some people need to be realistic, the docks wouldn't have been filled in if they were busy. Instead of a nice park in the city centre we would have had a barely used marina full of scaggy water and it would be even harder to get from East to West.

    Same applies to Princes Dock - just because Princes Quay has turned out to be a failure you can't say at the time it was a bad idea.

    As in football, hindsight is a wonderful thing.

    Princes Dock should have been the site of the marina, that's not hindsight, it's common sense and what most people thought at the time the marina was built.

    I thought it was put there so you could get off your boat and go straight into Earl de Grey
