no , she was being distracted by certain adverts on the radio

Aren't they knocking down and rebuilding Winifred Holtby?

Yeah in a few years time.

Work starts late this year / early next year and it will be open in time for my youngest to start in September 2012. The plans look amazing.

It said 2010 on the newsletter that came through the door. My son will be going there in a few years if we still live round here, which I can't see changing.

Unless the conservatives get in power, then the kids can look forward to portakabins

Will that be just after Hell freezes over?

There has been some strange variations in the weather these last couple of years.

Cod'ead - that dictionary you mention in another thread... is it available at Waterstones?

That'll cause a shortage of portakabins in the East of Hull, what with 'that' there new stand and all.

Do you honestly think Cameron will not win a general election?

Are you aware of who controls budgets for new/refurbished schools?

At least this government have a bit of an excuse for the mess the country is in.Obviously some of you are too young to remember the Thatcher years,started off with 3million unemployed and no compassion for anybody.The Eton boys are slavish followers of her

so you know whats coming.Political rant over

The country is still suffering socially from the effects of the four Tory General Election wins between 1979 and 1997.

Truth talking of that magnitude will get you nowhere around these parts, young man!

People have short memories, as much as the labour party has been disappointing lately they need to think back to the Thatcher years.

Agreed. The Tories haven't changed. I wouldn't buy the Sun because I've gone off the Daily Mail, because I hate them both. So why vote Tory because the Labour party are crap?

My bad

I thought you were talking about the Conservatives taking Hull.

Are you too young to remember the last time the Tories were in power?

Cameron will be just as bad, if not worse.

Whys that? I havent voted tory for years but im amused at the total bias towards them. Interested in your assumption that cameron will be bad.

Cameron is just a front man. The real power behind the Tories resides where it always has, and their policies and objectives haven't changed one bit. They will favour the rich and powerful, and the rest of us will be hung out to dry.

Whats Brown if not a front man? not voted in. And dont give me that bollax about rich and powerful, none left mate. Brown is now brown nosing middle england for votes.
Far as Im concerned the Labour party have had enough time to undo what everybody has said the cons did and if they cant do it in 13 years tough titty, time for someone else.

Prime Ministers aren't "voted in", political parties are.

Quite correct. When labour were voted in who was their leader and who did the people vote to become prime minister?
