Wouldn't know, I was brought up in Kirk Ella, I've never felt the need to pretend I was working class. Nor do I think anyone living in Hull is 'lowering themselves'.
You're making out as I'm talking about you. Bit weird. And nor do I. I've never suggested anything of the sort.
You're right actually - that's not what I find weird. People move far away for many reasons that are unavoidable but can retain a love for a place. To clarify, what I do find baffling is if people claim to love somewhere but then live just 10 miles away when there is no fathomable reason stopping them from living there.
It's strange, I have lived outside the city boundary, apart from 2 years in Sutton, all my life, but if asked I always say I am from Hull.
So do I. Also, I get of web orders from the area and a lot of people put their address as Cottingham, Hull, or Anlaby, Hull, it seems some people won't have the Boundaries Commission telling us what is and isn't Hull.
He's referring to today being Groundhog Day. I finished with it yesterday and it wasn't me who resurrected it today.
This weekend was a massive boost in changing people's perspective of our city. It'll be trending on YouTube for the next week and played on the BBC's radio and TV channels over the next month. People that broadcast to the country will be talking about us and the concert that was held here. So many people will still be buzzing from this. Once-in-a-lifetime it being held in Hull. As Rita Ora said (along these lines anyway) during her set: Unity is a great thing and the fact we're all together after what happened is powerful.
No one really cares where it's from. I've watched it over other years and enjoyed it but never given a toss about where it was being broadcast from. It's more relevant to the locals who get a buzz from it. I doubt many southerners watching KOL were bothered where the field was.
Except a concert wasn't held in Hull. It was held a few miles away in the East Riding. Used to these things in East Riding. They had one at Brid donkey's years ago.
It was the Radio one Big Weekend Live From Hull, the fact that it was a few miles beyond the Hull boundary is irrelevant to everyone but you (and Bummers).
