Not something you see in Hull every day, or at all, some women dressed in Africa styled dresses were walking up, or down, English Street with boxes of fish balancing on their heads, it is not a very good picture because I was on my bike and didn't realise what was happening until they were past me and by the time I stopped, got off my bike and took my phone out,they were well up the road.

Good picture. Isn't there a shop near there that sells all sorts of frozen fish? Both cod/haddock and exotic?

Smales is nearby I think Plumb but I was just annoyed with myself for not being more observant.
 
Again, whilst out on my bike, and before the fish box thing, I came to cross the footbridge over the entrance to the Marina and for the first time, I think, I saw the full roadway available to cross over on, can't remember seeing anything but the small footbridges available on this lock gate.

Another good pic. You should have one of those head camera things on your bike helmet

I was thinking of this place, it's in English Street towards the ice rink building.

It's certainly usually closed, but I've often seen it open for events in the area such as Humber St Sesh

I have spend a lot of my working life in Nigeria selling fish, and seeing the mammies carrying the fish away like this from the cold store.

If there is Plum I missed that shop, like I say, I should be more observant but I do watch the traffic as my eyes swivel all around for cars pulling out of side streets that sort of thing, had a few near misses when riding a motor bike, and of course I'm a lot older now.

And this, I kid you not, is an apparently acceptable dress code for an Irish TD (Member of Parliament) when he was speaking in the Dail (Lower House) yesterday. Keep it classy Ireland!!!
