    It was one-way. No entry from the viewpoint.

    The demolition people are supposed to be on there to finish clearing the site about now, I've no idea when they'll actually start the new build.

    It's definitely behind schedule, the demolition was supposed to be finished by the end of October, also the proposed new hotel seems to have been removed from the 'new openings' section of the Radisson Blu website, so I'm not convinced it will happen at all.

    I don't know anything about the St Marks St one.

    Mmm... Stantons hotcakes.

    Just butter on Wednesday, bacon on payday, egg the rest of the week.
    Whichever, you always ended up with something dribbling down your chin.

    There were some formidable "waitresses" in there. (no connection implied to the above) My first recollection of the term "patty slappers" although I don't recall any pattys.

    Even better (imo) hotcakes though were from Moore's bakery down Egton St. Straight out the oven with a half inch slice of butter left to melt in it's own time. My other blurred recollections of this bakery involve flooding, rat's and cockroaches and fire. Strange these things didn't seem to impact on customer perception in the least at the time. I also remember a pre-pubescent "show me yours, I'l show you mine" session among the piles of empty flour sacks.

    Jackson's on Spring bank West weren't bad either. Especially at 4 in the morning. There was often quite a gathering from all over town.

    My favourite was a "TET" as Peter Stanton called it, Egg in 2 toast with tomato.

    I think they'll clear the site, than nothing will happen, the Radisson Blu Hotel is no longer showing as a new opening on their website and it shows all new hotel openings to 2018.
