Should we collate a 'best of' on the thread so far? We could have a vote for any disputes over which is in the top ten!

For a calendar?
Maybe, but just to get a set of best mundane pictures on one page as the thread is quite lengthy now.

Slight branch off from main thread topic but here is a pic of my Ma and Mrs SFM standing next to a statue of Dr Bunsen in Heidelberg:

What is it you can't face?
neonwilderness The "Creating places we can all be proud of" pic is classic. Brings a tear to yer eye.
This is cheating slightly as it is a number of years old now but the idea that the Humber Bridge is so exciting my Dad needed to take some binoculars with him amuses me
Where's the rest of it?

Here's Holt Park Comms tower in Leeds - looking strangely beautiful in winter:

Fuck you Dave!
I was trying to work out when that pic was taken and reckon it was 1978 or 79 before the bridge was even finished. God I feel old now

Loving this thread
farmerbarleymow in particular has made me realise just how much I love Manchester, I'd love to move back there one day.

A mundane claim to fame.
They sell the most chocolate eggs??
Post up that picture of the dead greyhound on the foreshore under the bridge! Actually no, that was a bit grim

More views from the boat. The first is on the Bridgewater canal acqueduct, crossing the Manchester Ship Canal:
And this is also on the Bridgewater, just a bit out of Manchester. My friend Em had warned us we were about to pass her favourite bridge in the country, but we were not prepared for the grandeur:

Anther one of Spurn Point. It's an amazing place.

Shipley Clock Tower is really very cool - Shipley itself is gloriously mundane. The experience of waiting for a bus in the Albanian-esque square under the shadow of the clock tower is one to be savoured.

Wow, it really is. Just had a quick look around the central bit and there's nothing of interest. Very functional, nondescript, almost like a Soviet planning council designed the place

There is also a very good pub, the Junction, a ten minute walk out of town. And there is a mad Victorian funicular tramway thing up Shipley Glen. And walkable to Salts Mill / Saltaire.

Anywhere but the Noble sodding Comb! The inlaws have an obsession with that place.
Up the road from Shipley is Baildon, def not mundane tho.
