This reminds me of when I was working in Aberdeen, my Egyptian customer invited me and the owners to his son's wedding in Cairo. The owner decided we should all wear Kilts, much to my displeasure. So we all got fitted out, and off we went only for British Airways to lose our luggage. I can confirm there are no Kilt shops in Cairo
Leicester have an elected Mayor and at least three of the candidates running in the recent elections stated they would scrap the position should they be elected. Go figure as the Americans say.
If there’s a softening of the two major authorities locally towards each other , could it be because the ERYC is now experiencing the same housing and social problems with not enough resources that the City council has for years, maybe they’ve finally realised that joint or unitary system would maybe attract the rewards and awards that equivalent population areas attract ?
Not a closer balance of business rates. Lots of businesses have cleared off from the city to business parks in the East Riding that are within view of the city boundary. I've long argued that Hull's boundary should be hugely expanded. Good enough to have a Hull West and Hessle MP, good enough to take Hessle, and many other towns and villages into Hull. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
They receive them, Hull gets none from those that have moved from here to the East Riding. Wonder how much ER will gobble up from Smith and Nephew when they too clear off from Hull. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
Being demolished seems a reasonable reason to remove buildings from the list, and also raises a question on the point of being on it in the first place. "Seven pubs have been removed from the list, including the Dover Sole in Hessle Road and Anlaby Road's The George, as they have been demolished since the original list was compiled." "They also backed looking at extending some conservation areas in order to protect buildings on the list which are currently outside of them."
High time the Lord Line building was bulldozed. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
I've never really got my head around the liking of that building. For a start, it's never been a nice looking pile, but above that, it represents a system that took advantage of the seamen while they worked, and left them 'high and dry[sic] once the industry collapsed as they were not classed as employees.
