alpine_saint Posted 18 October, 2012 Share Posted 18 October, 2012 (edited) Well, that will make 2 grants they've shafted out of the EU, if you count the one for the Docks. W*nkers. Anderson looks like a used car salesman. Anyway, the Audit Commission doesnt agree, and I reckon the EU will demand a replayment and/or they submit details of the new plan.

Liverpool (or Sefton Council to be precise) has also received a grant for £35m to dredge the Mersey to help build a new container terminal No way would such public money be offered to Southampton re the Anfield Grant. No way should this have been granted to assist a new football stadium build in the first place However it is spent on genuine regeneration of the area then at least local people should benefit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pap Posted 18 October, 2012 Share Posted 18 October, 2012 I'm no fan of Liverpool City Council. Cheeky feckers have a habit of sending surprise bills out. I got a nice one for council tax arrears for 2.7K a couple of years ago. I owed part of it, but wasn't in the place for most of the period they were talking about. Ended up paying the lot because I didn't have a 9 year old leccy bill kicking around. That said, if they have to pay the grant money back, it'll probably end up being reflected in my council tax or services, which is a bit crap, as I pay for Europe too.

Tokyo-Saint Posted 19 October, 2012 Share Posted 19 October, 2012 Blimey. People moaning about scousers getting all the jobs. Whatever next. People moaning about scousers putting unwanted hubcaps on their cars and paying them money to look after it? It's a topsy turvey world pap.

Is hubcap theft still a thing? It's mostly moulded alloys these days. Do you think that the disappearance of thievable hubcaps is somehow linked to Liverpool's sustained and impressive regeneration?

I may be wrong here but I recollect that a Soton based firm designed the Floating Pontoon on which the Liverpool Cruise Terminal is built around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if you read my post again, you will see that I said they are putting them back on cars now. It was a joke on your joke. Not a good one to be honest and worse if explained.

Thanks pap You didn't have to explain, Tokyo. I did manage to catch your joke mate, but didn't chuckle in written form and went off on my own tangent instead.
