Off Topic Hull City Centre Public Realm Strategy

Has anyone heard the, inventively titled, To Hull and Back R4 comedy? Just caught it and the accents were ridiculous. Of course it starred Lipman and was written by Beaumont but the accents were massively exaggerated to fit the comedic stereotype.

I have NEVER heard anyone from Hull talk like that.

 

Thats showbusiness

 

Its not very funny either unfortunately

 

Based on the 15 mins I heard I wouldn’t disagree.

 

I've only just seen this. It's ****ing soul destroying and the mouth breathing, knuckle dragging, waste of oxygen that did it needs a proper ball kicking.

Heartbreaking.

 

I can’t be arsed to find any evidence online, but I recall that when big budget BBC soap Eldorado was being made they wrote one of the families as being from Hull. There was a bit of uproar about it locally at the time because the casting people dismissed out of hand any actors from Hull due to their ‘funny’ accents and appointed actors from the Sheffield area instead because they sounded like the Yorkshire folk they wanted...

 

Had a meeting at the Siemen's site in Hull last week - very impressive place and hopeful of becoming one of their suppliers. It's such a clean site

 

The new Brough Arerospace?

 

Godber seems to think Hull folk sound like Wessies.

 

Some on here think that grinding negativity sounds like You !!
You do remind me of my ultra,ultra negative grandad.
Bless his soul

 

So I am being negative by saying Godber insults Hull folk by having them speak like Wessies. Funny lad.

 

Castro does seem like a nice kid and all that, but there does seem to be a 'hang up' in there about Hull. Understandably, he'll never tell us. Some therapy might help though. Go careful with him, Julian. We don't know happened...

 

Unlike a lot on here who left Hull I chose to move there. Only a transfer in my job which was worth a lot of money made me leave.
Just, as an outsider, you realise how parochial and insular Hull folk tend to be.

 

It's not that and you know it isn't. Day after day, week after month after year. You slate Hull, you tell us how and why everywhere else is better. I love the place myself and I'm spectaculary unsuccessful here

 

Everywhere isn't better. There is Middlesbrough...

 

Brid's got more than it's share of ex-pat Wessies with whining wives and hen pecked husbands.

Give me Hull any day of the week.

 

It has its fair share of ex Hull folk as well. Though not many who go in the opposite direction.

 

It is incredibly clean
It’s like they’re building blades in a sterile clinical room

Good luck on becoming a supplier

 

Was near this today and no work seems to be happening. Suppose if KFC are moving in there, they’ll have bigger problems with the lack of chicken they are currently having.
