You can hardly see an outside interview on TV, without the participants wearing brand new hard hats.

The ones I would have thought in most need of protection didn’t appear…

4 words: Health And Safety Executive

From next week, the bbc plans to show programmes live on the internet. will this affect the tv license ?. is it the first step toward people requiring a license for computers or even broadband access?. will the government use the fact that moble phone & computers are virtually universal as a means to impose a tax on ownership, just in case you watch programmes on them?

"Former cabinet member Andy Sloan has confirmed he is set to resign as a city councillor after landing a job 300 miles away from Hull.

ad nauseium.

If the stories and letters in the Mail together with some of the postings on this site were to be believed, no other local authority in this green and pleasant land can boast more examples of how to waste public money than Hull City Council. I have observed many an occasion when the question has been asked, why can’t Hull City Council be more like Manchester, Birmingham (or A.N other City/District/County) Council and be more responsible, especially…
