Voted the worst place to live by people who have never lived there?

Exactly!!

People who live hear that are not from the city tend to love it up here.

I remember when the guys from location location location did that worst city program. They showed a dog turd on the pavement for Hull to emphasise how bad it was! You could probably find one outside the gates of Buckingham Palace too!!

Part of the reasoning was that education wasnt too good (though is improving) but people fail to mention that places such as Beverley, Cottingham etc are excluded from being under the Hull umbrella despite having HU postcodes because they are covered by the East Riding Council.

When I lived there in the early 90s the shopping centre was a filthy. The streets were filthy. Coming home at night walking from the station to home was the only time of living in London that I ever felt unsafe. Gangs roaming the streets. Very little green space, though this could be because of your superior neighbours in Blackheath and Greenwich.
Much of the housing was run down.

Now it may well have changed, but that was my experience and quite frankly that will always be how I remember it. I have driven through it on many occassions since and have seen changes around the railway station / shopping area, but I never want to return and see if it has changed for the better or if its just cosmetic.

I am sure you will tell me differently, but I couldn't wait to get out. Sorry

As a Hull Uni student (who also plays for the rugby team, but not the 1sts) I would be suprised if its not a full degree course which is at least 3 years. I was under the impression he had actually left Quins and signed for Hull but guess I was wrong. 3 years is a long time to loan someone though. I can certainly see us wanting to keep him and paying some sort of fee though in the not too distant future

He is correct, Haddock only for me!!

Cod eats the 5hit at the bottom of the sea, haddock is pure white!

But like most students these days it`s probably a degree in `tourism` or ` the performing arts`..........he will have completed the course in a couple of weeks and be back playing for the Quins

Haddock is far nicer too IMO.

and chip spice on the chips too - again, something that seems to be a "Hull" thing!!

Do you actually know what Google does ?

No but I am sure You are going to tell All and sundry

london is a tole fully laden with gun totin knife weilding gangs

enuff said

btw, you shouldnt even have a league team, what a waste of 29 years of utter bollox and wasted RL and tv money

Thanks for your input, you've added a lot to the debate.

At least one thing we can't debate is the state of the schooling in Hull. Looks like it is first class.

Yes, that sounds just like Richmond.

You said it, but nonetheless you go on ...


Quite true. Thanks for the advice. We'll close down right after we've beaten Hull on Saturday.

Enjoy the game.

well I suppose you are one reason why Toffour would not want to stay in the Hull area.

I appologise to all Quins fans. I believe he has escaped from Longhill.

See you saturday friend, have an enjoyable and safe journey down

Lets be honest, with english skills they wont have a job.. No money to come down..

Seeing as the biggest employer in the area was caravans and they have nearly all gone due to the reccesion...people wont have money to come down...

Aww.

Hope you get a kick out of people on the dole.

best and most original post on these boards....

If thats what you southern thickos do then fair enough, but is brainiacs in the Hull area do proper degrees, like a Business degree for example. Our GCSE test results are a smoke screen ya know (although I didn't go to a 'Hull' School

)

The recession isn't exclusive to Hull you know.

Oh i know...these shandy drinking southerners will have it twicw as bad though wont they.
