It was a long time ago. The meals were on the company but the bar did very well. Too well as some of the local managers had reports of the consumption of their staff when we arrive back the following week.
Hull would be happy if they got as many visitors. That is why there are at least 5 Park and rides around Norwich to cope with people arriving from all directions. Also handy as they free up space for the fleets of coaches dropping visitors off in the centre.
Think the majority of places do. Most places in GB can be classified as ****holes in some shape or form. Economically deprived. Cultural desert. Visually ugly. Twee poncey dormitory town Those are the commonest categories. Must pay a visit to Malton or Helmsley again soon.Eat well, not too distant, friendly folk not obsessed with status etc. .
Sounds like Norfolk's infrastructure is not up to coping with a few day trippers, so they have to bus em in. All directions you say? Even from the coast?
The entire town looks like it was built in the 70s from scratch. Brutalist architecture with no organic feeling.
Don't see coaches queueing up in the centre of Hull to drop visitors off. Someone Hull talking about coping with traffic is hilarious. The gridlocked infrastructure wouldn't cope with their amount of visitors.
The only parts I know are the late Victorian/ early Edwardian streets near Kenilworth Road. Must have been a nice area in its time.
The first person to mention Norwich was DMD early on in the thread. Then Cityman who seems to have a hang up about Norwich. Envy...inferiority complex...Who knows.
We have ferries from abroad 'dropping visitors off' not some Wallace Arnold flasker brigade. As a bonus, those Rotterdam arrivals can glimpse a John Deere stockyard on the left as they leave the terminal. It's never dull in Hull.
They drop them off then they depart the docks heading straight through on their way to historic tourist hotspots like York. And Norwich...
Saw loads of Americans, Japanese and Koreans exploring around Norwich. Even my wife noticed and commented, coaches full at the cathedral, the large one as they have two. Never noticed that in Hull.
