Now, Kez me canny lass, have you ever been to Middlesbrough?? ;)> > > 
Ooops, been a bit slow in replying - soz. Haven't had access to a computer since I've been skiving off work....anyhoo, no I've never been to Middlesbrough, only passed through on many a National Express coach journey. And you're quite right, that hideous car park is due to be pulled down. I'm actually in Gateshead at the minute, visiting the parents and I passed the monstrosity when I was on the into 'the toon'. It actually looks even worse because half of it has been painted yellow and green......:(
So then, let me ask you - ever frequent The Riverside in you days of debauchery......?:)
That's great news about the car park Kezzie - !! Considering Newcastle/Gateshead are now bidding to be European City Of Culture as well, so that should help no end, giving the place a damn good clean up me thinks. Wallsend is a fookin violent place now - I'd never take me kids there . And yep - the Riverside - most of my best late 80's early 90's pop memories are stored there and debauchery is the best word to describe my time there too - all them fooking wild club nites! (and Newcastle Mayfair too - before the place was sadly closed down) plus it was at a local bands nite gig there that I met my girl Charlie....oh aye...(she comes from North Shields!)
