City of Culture more like another excuse to waste lots of money creating things which don't really matter. I wonder how all the money could of been better spent within the communities

just a drop in the pan compared the money wasted on illegals , human right s. deportation of terrorists etc.
at least it will bring some money into a community

Kingston Upon Hull, to give it. it's full title. Has good and bad bits like most cities / areas and has some very beautiful buildings. The people, well most of them. Are proud, strong willed and call a spade a spade, and deserve this chance to have something good happening.

Well, I'm from just outside Dundee (Broughty Ferry) and it meant a lot to us. The word you were looking for Ducati is Discovery. We have a lot more going for us than an "old boat". I think it's safe to say it's thanks to this waste of money called The Referendum, we lost to Hull. After all, you can't be a UK City of Culture if you are no longer part of the UK, can you ?

nothing tp do with referendum you just lost ! and to Hull ! I know Hull quite well, and if I were you I wouldn't go on about losing to them! and don't worry the UK is forever!

Isn't Dundee the City of Linoleum?
.Orger
and the Broons and Oor Wullie and Desperate Dan.....
.Orger
textiles n carpets .even Aimers coffee,........I think Dunfermline was of the linoleum fame but if im wrong im sure theres someone here to correct me ?.
And the old boat,s both of them . wonderfull historic object s well worth preserving .And certainly worth viewing .
Theres a lot going on in Dundee along the dock s area and two great shopping malls in the city centre .

Naw that was Kirkcaldy, Dundee, was most noted for Jute, Jam and Journalism, amongst many other things. One of them was that the people of Dundee chased Winston Churchill and his wife to the railway station in Dundee. He was a Liberal MP for Dundee from 1908 until 1922

Although I was born in Thurso, from 1946 I lived on various farms on the Cars e o Gowrie, went to School in places like Abernyte, Kilspinde, Inchture and finally my secondary at Invergowrie, went to work in 1955 as a Creeler in Thomson and Shepherd's Carpet mill in Taylors Lane , off the Perth Road. I then joined my first ship the MV Broughty a DP&L ship in 1956.
good and some bad memories of Dundee, but sadly I have never found a substitute for a Wallace's ingan Bridie any where on my travels

Not just one Old Boat........There are Two Old Boats...........The Discovery and The Unicorn.
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.
