    I really like the look and vibe of the Humber Street area now.

    Agreed Walter the one thing that saddens me is that already the chewing gum brigade are making the new pavers look like they are covered in a rash.

    Why don't they ever clean up the litter on the A63 Ferriby by-pass on the approach to the city?

    Steven Brady was asked this the other week on Burnsy show.
    He said that they do but 2 weeks later it's as bad due to drivers throwing litter out of their windows

    Britain is one of Europe's windier countries, especially near big expanse of water like the Humber.

    Wrapping/packaging blows off lorries and around, gets trapped against hedgerow etc.

    However that's no excuse for the council(s) not to keep it tidy-ish.

    I don't think either council have people going along what is the Government's road chucking litter out. It's people that are the mucky buggers.

    I had a look round that exhibition and what an astonishing pictorial record of Shackleton and his men, living on penguins, seals the odd Antarctic bird and even finding time for a game of footie on the ice. Seemed a rum way to avoid the first two years of World War 1.

    Yes I saw that Fred all those years in Norwich gone in a 'reorganisation' or whatever but I can't remember the details of when Reckitt's and Coleman diverged and then Reckitt's became Reckitt Benckiser an Anglo/Dutch conglomerate. I think that I'm right in saying that Benckiser is the dominant partner but they still have a considerable investment in Hull mostly East of the river.

    Never heard of it. My favourite pub sitcom is "World of pub", particularly the episode with the drinking competition.

    It's as bad in Hull. My wife made just this comment today as we were driving past Makro heading West. (and there was a bin in the middle of the eastbound carriageway that I'll be very surprised if someone didn't hit!).

    Hell is other people. Have some ****ing respect for your environment.
