Tall Ships....

[EDGE]

I thought the whole thing was very successful, much better than the Air show weekend which seems to be a huge scratters magnet.
The only minor grip I had was the fireworks. I thought Friday and Saturday would of been an ideal time for them and not during the world cup semi final.

Fireworks were Friday neet?

Tyne tees news just called it "Sunderlands weekend of success". Stick that up your pipe Lowther.

And Mags anarl.

I think most people just avoid them cos they're owned by the Loop.

He's going to get himself a reputation. Could affect his business. Or maybe that's what he's after.

The east end was no where nearas busy as the pubs had anticipated

The moor was a bit of a farce aswell

Incorrect on both counts

Better class of attendee than the air show
Never saw one pair of stained joggers, rockport boots or berghaus jacket or drinking in the street

I couldn't get in the Boar's Heed on Thursday, and that was the "quieter" of the three days.

The owner bought the boars head for £80k and got an £80k grant to do it up. That terrace out the back looks impressive and they have 6 bedrooms let upstairs

Admittedly I never went up to the moor at all and suspect a few would have been the same. So can't comment on numbers there but that shouldn't take away from what was overall a massive success.

I think he probably did that with the billboards he had up for donkeys, calling people murderers etc. Doesn't exanple lend itself to the ambience required of an eatery.
