Trouble is the rest of the road network in Hull, we don't have a proper ring road, I believe that Hall Road is part of one but gridlock is easily to come by. An accident or breakdown and on the A63 and it doesn't take long for traffic jams to form. But on the bright side any construction for...

Looking something like a finished road now but when I take a look on a weekend no one is working, did they extend the opening date by a year so that they don't have to pay overtime? I did wonder, same with Queens Gardens, extended but no work being done on a weekend. I don't doubt that when it...

The comments on the HDM are mostly wind ups, and tend to be the same people changing their pseudonyms, but yes people do pull Hull down a lot, but there again I don't think that it's exclusive to Hull. What I don't understand is that no one seems to tackle Trinity House about their practices...

Neither York or Leeds were hammered like Hull during the war, you only have to look a photos, posted often enough on old Hull websites, to see that Hull was a more than a match for both of them. But history, as I have said on many a site, was against Hull as a city. The Shambles in York, is just...

I've returned to pay my respects to a player who was at the heart of the team when I wasn't a supporter but a fanatic. I spent as much time at Boothferry Park as I did at home down Hawthorn Ave, Chris always seemed to be around the place. Waggy was the glamour guy but couldn't have been so...

I think its time to leave, as I have nothing to add to the basics of this site, and that is the health of Hull City AFC. My preference is for the Boothferry Park days, that is without question, even though the KCOM stadium devotees achieved far more than us oldies ever did. I don't go to the...

Do I need to say it OLM, Castle St??? and as yet a large swathe of the city centre has got all the pretty drawings but nothing else, oh yes the demolition of Edwin Davis. The former TSB???, the former Arco/May Sum building??? Humber St, see the recording studio has closed down, has been closed...

I didn't think that companies going into administration was reasons to be optomistic DMD, like the asset strippers move in, to make a quick buck. PFI and all that, shysters making a fortune out of companies in distress, Carillion comes to mind.

Sigh! Don't plan on walking across the Castle St footbridge any time soon. https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/news/hull-east-yorkshire-news/interserve-latest-news-administration-warning-2631675

Edwin Davis is proceeding as we speak, in preparation for demolition, but will I be happy with the level of development in Hull, no. I have observed, over many years, and many trips through National Coach Holidays, to all corners of the UK, how much Hull is slipping behind other cities. The...

Nope I didn't say it would be **** and I think you will find that many posts after the start of the CoC were very praiseworthy of the event, I went to plenty of them, but that is nothing to do with subject we are talking about now, the stuff you mention wouldn't pay for the consultants fees to...

What makes you think that they are going to happen now, despite the works on the footbridge, which to my interest is about 3 years from first being mooted, maybe more, I lose interest when investment in Hull is mentioned, chicken feed compared to other places of a similar size. Northern...

And who picks up the bill if it goes tits up? Answers on a postage stamp. Overall the overrun is, depending who you listen too, ranges anything from £600, ooo, ooo to £1 billion, or even £2 billion, and Londoners, business or otherwise are going to cough up that amount of money? Link below, and...

Ajax were always a good team at one point, they were up there with the best, the Dutch were innovative whereas the Italians did nothing but stifle any other opposition, although were good on the break.

Why do we have to beg for everything like this from Whitehall? I won't bother you with the details but a bridge over the Thames, The Garden Bridge, was scrapped but it cost 40 million just to get scrapped. Not to mention London's Crossrail project 1 billion pounds over budget and still not...
