I was tempted to block Girt Bucket from this thread and tidy up, but his ramblings seem to produce decent replies from others, so I reckon I'll leave him to flounder...for now.


EDIT. Just seen Chazz's post from earlier. <ok>

Embarrassing post. Leave it on mods to show what a twat he is.

I've been for a walk around the town centre,Old Town and Marina this afternoon.
It's a totally different place to a couple of years ago.
The COC has really lifted our City and after going to York yesterday a can safely say our town centre streets are in a lot better state.
Obvs York has the better buildings but we're in a lot better position than we've been for half a decade.
Hopefully we can keep people coming in over the next few years.

I'm loving the positivity the CoC has given us. How long before it becomes trendy to be from or visit Hull??

I agree Hull is on the up but York is still a much better shopping experience. A good number of decent independents, most of the chains, and very few empty units. Shopping might not be everyone's cup of tea but it brings people in.

Yes it is but it's also more expensive.
It's a bit of a nightmare on a Saturday afternoon/ tea time.
I couldn't believe the amount of drunken people stumbling all over yesterday.
Quite a few thousand.

Just a doodle of mine.

The City of Culture for a year, no more
Just enough for us to open the door
Open the door so others can see
Its not what they expect or expected it to be
They've read the papers and heard the jibes
Hull is dead it has no vibes
Its the end of the line and then its just bare
Its the end of the world you can see if from there
But now there's a chance a little one at that
Maybe to prove the jokes are old hat.

Maybe not Larkin but never mind.
