    Anyone notice the erection of the lovely new sign on the quay above that 'tall ships insignia' attached to the old R&H hall buildings

    It's funny for 3 seconds, but come 2014 when it's still there it's not so funny.

    Don't think it's difficult to get up there. Saw a video recently of guys doing BMX stunts on top of it.

    It would be nice if they'd take down the Tall Ships thing too. It looks pretty pathetic to be advertising something that happened two years ago at this stage.

    If you don't see why people would be annoyed by this then either you are blind or you have little respect for the city,

    Its crap like this (people marking buildings like this) that makes a place look run down and a hole,

    Is it anymore pathetic than allowing derelict eyesores that haven't been used in decades to exist? Why there hasn't been a demolition order on these buildings is beyond me.

    heres a few reasons:
    probably cost a few million to demolish them considering firstly who owns them? can they afford to knock them, they will obviously say they cant even with a notice. We cant afford to CPO them and knock them. Planning issues. Access (Port, Irish rail, Council?) Asbestos? Environmental issues? Planning nutcases who think we should keep them and renovate them when we clearly wont have the money to do a more expensive renovation job like the ones in Newcastle for decades if lucky.

    On saying that, they are a mess and a plan should be in place to knock the mills at least and replace it with a cheap pleasant walk area and docking for a ship/cruise or 2.
