walking through town today saw workmen laying what looked to be an american style walk of fame plaque near the fountain in the bull ring to David Topliss, have i missed an announcement??



dreamt it?



made it up?

There was a post on here sometime ago, it's to celebrate famous Wakefield people

That'll be his Wakefield Star - a series of them are being laid to celebrate the famous folk of Wakey.

There's a joke in there about that Wakey bird from Big Brother or the one from X Factor but I just can't put it together...

how long till some little chav thug destroys them

what a positive post.

whats wrong wi that?

i posted on the last thread it was a great idea on how to remember some local greats.

but have you been in our town centre lately its chav thugs or immigrants everywhere you look.



so get over it

It isn't a very positive post, but its what a lot of people were thinking.

The city centre is inhabited by a great number of people who i am not very proud to see in it.

FWIW i think the post was bang on.

I think you are 100% spot on.

woohoo i was right!

thing is im only 27 and when i was a kid if i even thought about destroying or marking any property id of got a thick ear.

it now seems the norm to put a "tag" on anything you can. or to cheek off the older generation it does my head in

Hmm - I'm a fair bit older than you and in my experience, vandalism and disrespecting your elders is certainly not a new thing; they were considered perfectly valid hobbies whilst growing up on Lupset in the 70's.
