Hull has a some very decent shopping attractions when compared to Beverley which basically has a High Street.

Hull also has a lot more to than Beverley regarding Nightlife...various cinemas, a lot more restaurants in various areas to choose from, ice-arena, various bowling alleys, various nightclubs,several drinking areas, City Centre-Cottingham-Hessle- Princess Avenue- Newland Avenue.

The Deep, several museums, 2 SL rugby clubs, a championship football club, numerous sports centres offering a variety of sports, a university.
A lot more choice in the areas and houses.

Surely this is all about personal choice. We all like different things and different places. This thread has turned into yet another willy measuring contest.

not sure it has, it's become the usual story where people defend Hull because they love the place, other people criticise it for it's failings, it's an "unsquarable cirle" to quote some crap management training booklet.

is that what you do??

you missed the spelling error in"unsquareable" as well, tsk, must try harder.

???? wasnt having a dig and didnt notice any spelling mistakes ... it was a genuine question ??

Nah, it's the usual story where you come out with some bull, ('Beverley is better than Hull for everything', for example) people pull you up on it and then you try and deflect from your original point (see the quote above).

Nobody has blindly defended Hull, or even claimed it's better than other cities, they're pulling you up on the Beverley comment - plonker.

I said almost, I'd rather shop and eat in Beverley than Hull, maybe you should try it?

No, you didn't.



Should I?

I shop & eat mostly in Leeds, thanks, that's where I live.

Spouting rubbish as usual. Why do you bother?

Where?







Shopping in Beverley is appalling. Mostly, the food is no better than plenty of places in Hull, either. There are some decent places in some of the other villages, though.

Seriously, you'd be better off admitting you were wrong about the Beverley comment rather than keep trying to defend it, Beverley is now largely a suburb of Hull with overpriced houses and not much else. The only things that are far nicer than it's Hull counterparts are it's registry office and the market.

depends what you want to eat and buy, anyway, contracts.........................

Shopping in Beverley?

as I said, depends what you want, I haven't found arival to Rileys anywhere in Hull, maybe DIAS in Hessle.

I haven't found a musical instrument shop to rival Bad Dog's in Hull in Meadowhall, doesn't mean that Hull is a better shopping destination than Meadowhall.

Primark suits me just right , cotton is cotton to me regardless of what shiite is written on the left tit of a T Shirt
Thought you lived out of town dont you ???

it says Daz on the side of busses but they dont do your washing on board

anyway, i am quite proud of the city of my birth to be honest, i find the majority of folk to be good honest yorkshire folk , we have bad areas like anywhere else but on the whole its a decent hard working city IMO.
I have lived all over the planet and always look forward to coming back to Hull.....sometimes when you move away the honeymoon period of another place sweeps you off your feet but after a while it becomes just another place to live sometimes with sun and sometimes without , I lived within 20mins drive of Key Largo for 3 years but it had plenty of down sides too like anywhere....
on the whole i have always been proud to say i was from East Yorkshire!!!! and amazing how many guys on marine jobs you meet that are from Hull or Goole etc

You realise the people who live in Beverley tend to go elsewhere for shopping don't you? With Hull being the most convienient of places in terms of distance. Picking out a single shop means nothing.

Your right that though it does depend what you want. Personally being in close proximity to Riley's wouldn't make me live in Beverley. My time is far more precious to me so the things I have to do (work) and the things I enjoy doing (the rugby for example) all need to be as close as possible. Commuting is for mugs IMO. I'd rather earn less money and have more time to live my life. Things like "shopping" are occasional activities and I can take it or leave it but it's no hardship to drive to York, Leeds, Sheffield or even Manchester if I really want to spend the day shopping but it sure as hell wont determine where I choose to live. Night life is the same. What makes a good night out for me is who you spend it with not waiting 30 mins to get served an ordinary beer in an overpriced crowded "bar". The biggest deciding factor for me is minimising the amount of time I'm wasting getting to and from the things I have to or want to do. With that in mind I don't know how many Rugby players would have "travel time to the shops" as a high priority when choosing a club.

Which one, ours or yours?

Not quite what I meant actually.If Ellis is happy with his deal then fair enough.
All I am saying is if somebody is offered better money,nobody could blame them for taking it.
Maybe Ellis is looking at the bigger picture?

My monday to Friday version, Sat and Sunday are usually a different one , planet Caffreys its called

Some of you should try living in some real [is[/ihitholes, like Yeovil or Stoke, Rotherham or Middlesborough.

When I lived in Cott I did most of my shopping in the village, simply because I spent most of me money in Tiger

Shall we get back on topic?

It's a dead topic, the blatantly obvious answer was provided in the first reply.

Sorry, I must've missed the announcement when Middlesbrough got upgraded to a hole
