“Rob is hold my head in shame! VVV sorry!”

“Hull, Hull. yes think of what Princes Avenue was like a decade ago. No bars, either walk to Queen's or Botanic. Boarded up shops and it like a mortuary after 6pm. now it there are people employed and a bit of life.
Not to mention property prices increased as it was no longer like living in the back of beyond. Of course house owners never seem to mention that.”

“Stephen, calm down. I never mentioned Sainsbury's as I wasn't replying to your post.
If you look I quoted another poster's post and made no reference to yours.
Maybe if you didn't rush so much and get so indignant you'd be able to spell and punctuate like someone who is old enough to drink having read the story correctly.
As it happens I think supermarkets shouldn't be allowed to sell alcohol all day at cheap prices. I'd stop them selling alcohol but the government wants the taxes so it won't happen. simpler to tell pubs to close early and pretend they are doing something. This is what is causing the problems not the bars, over 90% of which are shut by midnight. Why should older, responsible people be told they can't stay out past 11pm and pay heavily for the privilege because young kids are getting blitzed on cheap ale. The police want to go in hard and be backed by the courts as happens in Belgium, Holland, Germany etc where bars are open from early morning until 3,4am and even later in some cities there. Why do we have so many miserable people in this country who want everything to be shut and everyone tucked up in bed by midnight? Yet when they go abroad are the last to leave the bars. A case of NIMBYism?”

“Tina not good enough, Antony only morons get drunk and need help from others doh”

“Once again we are getting policeing on the cheap. thease good people should be paid a decent wage for putting they lives at risk. thet is more then enouth police to protect the pubic at the weekend round the city centre. Why cant the police protect the public on the houseing estates were they are really needed from all the lobos who roam the eatates causeing havac with all the crime that is commited. dont just protect the rich what a bout the poor?”

“I too am with Billy on this one, why can"t these idiots just have a few beers and head off home under their own steam ? .”

“What is it about the English obsession with alcohol? Why do people feel the need to damage their bodies, put themselves in danger and line the pockets of a landlord/ drinks company? I feel so sorry for those residents of Princess Ave who have to put up with all the drinkers from the bars down there, how different it was a decade ago. Then loads of southerners come here because its cheap and put their 'European style' bars to make a profit. Shut them all down I say, save the NHS and police time and money, cut fights, rapes, accidents etc and improve the health of the city!”

“Oh dear Robert we have got our knickers in a twist.
I only post comments on this site to bait and reel in easy fish like you!
Congratulations for being the most gullible ever. :(”

“"And finally...how about creating an early closing time for these bars? We may have twenty four hour licencing but the law doesn't say they have to open for twenty four hours, they have the option to close when they want to, and indeed do when it's no longer profitable to stay open.
The Avenging Angel, Heaven n Hell "

Congratulations on the most stupid post on this subject. Where are these 24 hour bars? There isn't a single one in Hull. In fact hardly anyone, anywhere, could show you a bar with a 24 hour licence. and even those that have one for 24 hours don't open that long. So your statement about them opening 24 hours is stupid. How early do you want them to close. Most are closed by midnight with about 1am the latest. That is 12 hours opening for the vast majority with over 90% nationwide being shut by midnight. Hardly 24 hour opening is it?
I wonder if some of thse people moaning have ever been abroad? And if they have do they drink up and go back to their hotel at 11pm telling the locals there is no need to be open later than that?
Taxes on drink raise about £30billion a year, bars pay business rates which include a precept for policing. so why don't the police just do their jobs and arrest those spoiling everyone else's fun allowing the rest of us not to be treated like kids and told we have to be going home at 11pm? Of course it is far simpler to try and have everywhere shut down early and us tucked up in bed whilst the rest of Europe is out enjoying itself. It is amazing when there is a football match to see hundreds of police lounging about, with riot gear, police horses and dogs, mobile cells (not that the police do anything if away fans cause any trouble except pose and take photos of home fans) which resulted in about 16 arrests, only 1 for violence out of 450,000 people attending city matches, yet the police can't get anyone on thestreets ona Friday and Saturday evening when they know there will be far more trouble than you ever see at football.”

“These people are volunteers! So what are people moaning about? If they are out volunteering to look after people then good on them!

Stupid people saying let the youths look after themselves, its not like every youth is a drunken idiot who goes out to start fights ever weekend, im sure most people have gone out sometime in their lives and got abit worst for wear!”
