    Sounds a great place to visit.

    Sometimes you don't realise what you've got and good to see it through someone else's eyes
    Flour and Feast and Dirty Harry's are very good.

    I get more boring than usual and very nostalgic in Humber St. Going on about the different firms, the characters and being a kid running messages from the office to my dad who was a commision agent in Humber St.
    No such thing as mobile phone just me sprinting up and down the street with a bit of paper.

    See I said I was boring

    After seeing on DIY SOS what they did in 9 days to transform a house for the family of a small lad with an awful, life limiting disability, it might be a good idea for HCC to call them in to do any refurbishments.<laugh>

    I agree
    I’ve said it before but I’d recommend doing the Maritime walking tour.
    Completely free and allow you to see the city as a tourist. Well worth a couple of hours and you’ll probably learn something you either didn’t know or you’d forgotten

    Add to that a guided tour of Trinity House. I paid £5 for one the last time it was advertised and you get an information booklet with that. The place is amazing, they even have Captain Cooks original maps in there. I cannot recommend the Trinity House tour highly enough even if you only have a passing interest in the maritime history of Hull.
