Paid my very first visit to the Waterfront Centre thingy today.... and I was impressed by the level of investment, but appalled by the misuse of the same.
I wondered around inside, and perused the Titanic exhibition, very interesting.
I asked the incredibly bored looking assistants on reception whether there was somewhere I could buy a coffee.
They said no, not yet... but pointed to some tables and chairs that were 'intended' for a cafe, which 'might be built' next summer.
Hmmm, I have to say that they seemed as cynical about it as most on this Forum.
If there HAD been a basic cafe open today, it would have made about £1000, and much more than that in the warmer months.
I was interested in canoeing, despite the pathetically small area marked out by yellow buoys, for the activity.
There are no adverts beckoning you to spend any money, or take part in any activity.... merely a notice board, with a few A4 sheets of paper on the subject of watersports..... akin to a school notice board.
Pretty disappointing all in all.
