Grampa Jim This concrete stick your on about is the Spinnaker Tower which is a lovely site if viewed from the Hill also an attraction for the visitors to Portsmouth( its no different than the post office tower in london ) the rate payers in portsmouth have to pay out for all the expence not you If you dont like it keep away

joyce at least the post office tower is open.the spinakker tower is five years too latexxxx))):

alan neither is the spinniker tower.is five years late and starting to hit the council taxpayers hardxxxxxx)))):

Sorry to butt in here. I thought 'Grampa's Concrete Tower' was really nice, saw it for the first time 3 weeks ago when visiting a rellie from this site for the first time. We sat opposite it, in Gosport watching the ships come in and eating chicken & chips.

From the Stick we will (eventually) be able to get a great view of two blocks of Flats I helped build in the 1960s at Gosport Ferry. I can also see it from my Kitchen window if I stick my head out and look due West. And, when it eventually falls over, we will have the footbridge from Gosport to Portsea which we should have had if the Builders had the Plans the right way round. Lol

Don't stick your head out to far Grampa otherwise you might fall, never mind the flats. Hold on a moment I think you meant the stick.

was thinking exactly the same Joseanne who would take thread over then Grampa? get your head back in now!! Ken xx

Why do people have to complain al the time life is so short I live from day to day now as my brother in law was taken ill and was dead in a week It was my birthday yesterday another year older so I hope to go everywhere and see all the beautifull sites which is in the uk and abroad Anyone wishing to come with me Joyce

Complaining? Who's complaining? We'll have no complaining here! This is a local thread for local people.

I have just found out that I may be meeting a previously unknown Cousin at the Pompey meet. Hope she can make it. Jim

I'm still hoping to come, 'all being well' as me mum would say. But I may only be able to stay an hour or so (cos I'm a bit shy). :-))) Jen

Jen - this may surprise people, but I am VERY shy when I meet people for the first time! So - Jim said (please excuse the copying and pasting): ''1.00pm. Gunwharf centre. At Portsmouth Harbour at the foot of that new concrete stick. It's beside Portsmouth Harbour Railway Station, the Bus Terminus, The Isle of Wight Catamaran and the Gosport Ferry.'. Is parking very close, please? I've been to see the ships nearby, but can't remember what parking is like. Thanks. :-) Joy

There is a car park actually at the Gunwharf, and several nearby.

Joy :-) So it'll be me AND you peeping round a corner and plucking up courage to say hi to the others then! Any more coming along? xx Jen
