It wouldn't even cover the artist's impressions.

Absolutely.

SO I'll then be back for the second bite, greater in value by an order of magnitude. Got to pay off the balance on the corporate Caribbean island somehow, and need to keep up with the bankers after all...

And I just proposed a £10m marketing campaign to promote "Bradford...the City with a Hole..." and for a specially-reduced £2m fee for all the months I told them I spent testing out all the alternatives on focus groups and the like (I actually bounced it off my Mum, the Postie and the cat).

Well, Polo got away with that one for years - advertising the bit which consisted of nothing but fresh air, so why not? Can I apply for the job of project director? Gizza job, I can do that...

Don't be too hard on Bradford Council and before you ask I've no axe to grind on their behalf in fact all I see them doing is drop large B*******s in all they touch. In Doncaster we have a new stadium which the council have had to hand over to Doncaster Rovers to avoid any further drain on Doncaster ratepayers.

It was worth a bid.
Liverpool got it so the bar wasn't that high
