Argyle St to Stadium

Of course it matters who is responsible, would you cut your neighbours grass because it has overgrown?

I don't think the Allams would take a walk down there to check that its been trimmed back and the walkway hasn't started to break up.

 

Iconic? There's a word that doesn't get used much in Hull.

 

Aye, oddly though it's one of the few occasions it's accurate.

 

Yes, we're not given to hyperbole round here.

Try Manchester and Liverpool where everything is iconic.

 

agreed
I'm looking forward to seeing the ball dropping thats for sure

 

East Riding are
Feel free to cut the verges outside your house
I do (outside my house, not yours)
The chap on the lawnmower misses us out now, and I hope it means he can have a couple of minutes more tea break those days

 

I’m sure he’ll have time for a seven course meal if he doesn’t have to do outside the Ponderosa!!

 

Aye
Doesn't even have the risk of falling into the moat either
Easy life

 

Unless one gets a black fly in one's Chardonnay.

Or if you're in a traffic jam when you're already late.

Or if it bleedin' rains when you're trying to get wed.



Irony?



It's what you want it to be.

 

So we'll be getting a loanee sweeper on the books then.

 

Wish I got a fiver for every time the HDM described something as iconic.

 

Is the one in Times Square as iconic? Or the one at the Greenwich Observatory?

 

Not sure, but ours is the highest in the UK, and the only one on a municipal building.

 

If the path to your kids school had thick bramble branches growing halfway across, and 3 feet high nettles leaning a couple of feet into the path, would you expect the council to do something? Would you expect the headteacher to have noticed the path to the school was causing problems to pupils and rung the council? Or would you observe the kids turning up with scratched legs, torn trousers and stung hands and just shrug and say it’s not your problem?

We’re not kids. But this is reducing the capacity of the path and when it gets dark there are issues with people leaping out of the way and crashing into each other, doesn’t need much imagination to see people falling over and breaking bones. And yes I do expect the SMC to pay attention to the main routes to the Stadium, parking and the state of West Park, public transport and all these infrastructure issues. They’re managing a facility with 25k capacity plus staff, it’s part of their due diligence. Any sizeable employer will have a facilities manager who does this as part of their job description.

 

Some silly **** journos may use it to spice up their drab copy, the locals don't.

 

The Times Square one was built, and is, and always has been, used an entirely different reason.
The Greenwich one is very similar, but ours is a very important part of our maritime history whether it’s iconic, or ironic, or neither.
I think it’s a very good thing it’s getting done, and it has every chance of becoming iconic

 

Fantastic! Thank you

 

I think the first one in this country was at Portsmouth because of its naval connection. There were others in ports like Liverpool but don't know if they are still there. Saw the Portsmouth and Greenwich connections on a documentary a while ago.

 

I didn't,say the locals did. It was a judgment on the paucity of language of the journalists. Though that isn't restricted to the HDM. A fiver for everytime the word flaunt accompanies a picture of some female would provide enough to fund a fans buyout.

 

I don’t know which one was first, but it was vital for the navigation of our trawlers going out of Queen’s Dock (and before it was called that)
