Talks over Plymouth's bid to be UK City of Culture 2017

“lame brain idea, have you seen union st, the town full of pound shops, charity shops, pasty shops,culture I don't think so!!”

“i dont think plymouth would get it because we have a run down city centre of shops closing down and also we do not have an airport anymore and plus brentonside bus station looks like basicly run down big time!!!! if we do get it in 2017 then plymouth city council will have to buck their ideas up for the future!!!”

“not sure about the city of culture .......but surely there should be award to city(council) who does not give a monkeys ******s abut residents. I am sure we would win many years in the row......
incinerator,traveller sites,airport,.......etc.”

“Best to call in the Chinese then to sort out our infrastructure (which has been colapsing faster than I can drink a pint. LOL, LOL ), but first get rid of all those six figure salaried private and public sector employees (who are the real drain on our country).

The chinese have just opened Quote Dail Mail.... The first trains have taken to the track on the world's longest high-speed rail line which stretches a staggering 1,400 miles across China.

The line, which runs roughly the equivalent distance of a journey between London and Gibraltar, will halve the travelling time from the country's capital Beijing to Guangzhou, an economic hub in the south.

The first train along the 2,298km track set off from Beijing at 9am with a train heading in the opposite direction an hour later.

Trains on the line will travel at 186mph with the journey taking around eight hours. /End Quote

Just imagine what they could do with that main railway line here.....”

“More junkets for the council clowns.
This bread and circus nonsense is totally unwanted by the hard working people of Plymouth but they will have to pay for it.
Another body will be put together taking valuable funds from other more necessary public projects.
Who the hell benefits but the self-important parasites in the council chamber's bubble.”

“More likely to win City of Pessimism or City of Wasted Opportunities...”

“Would be more likely to win City of Pessimism or City of Wasted Opportunities...”

“Plymouth is a wonderful city to live in BUT it cannot be allowed to bid for this accolade as our sussessive corrupt councils do no not deserve to hold their heads high. They have tried their hardest to cut us off and run us down and they are unfortunately succeeding. They have failed to fight for what is right therefore cannot for a minute think they deserve to enter a competition against councils who have fought for the people they serve and build great cities worthy of the residents that vote for them. In a similar geographical situation to Plymouth (i.e relatively remote), Aberdeen has an international airport, fast train service, good road network and truly buzzing, modern city centre. Plymouth has got............ Okay lets leave it at that!”

“Why are the people of Plymouth so negative? Plymouth could easily become a cultural capital of the region, with the right investment, the main problem is the lack of motivation on the part of the council and many of the population. Get off your backsides and become part of this city, do something instead of complaining and moaning. Be positive!”
