    Without wanting to stray into politics, given the recent announcements claiming no more housed in hotels, and the contract deadlines, it could be worth wondering what some of these larger HIMO type conversions in the offing could be about. :emoticon-0105-wink:

    It's going to be quite a sell to get Willy Booth's place marketable.

    That flat I moved from last year, there was one of the other flats housing some of those. It started with a normal couple with a couple of kids but by the time they left, four families vacated it together. The original couple was hiring out the space to other families, he was making a fortune apparently.

    A friend of mine was bought that hotel for his 21st birthday, it was a bit of a dump then and that was forty years ago.

    Passing by the National Picture Theatre, on Beverley Road, last week I noticed the scaffolding had come down, no sign though of the promised new windows. According to the BBC website work was due to be finished last December, what's a few more months/years though?! :emoticon-0138-think
