As the Mail described Hull as a small coastal city today then them being wrong is always a possibility.
The obsession with how big or small cities in Britain are is a strange one when you consider Land's End to John o' Groats is only 603 miles as the crow flies.
The Mail describes Hull as a coastal city. No doubt next week there will be an article complaining how the rest of the country is woefully lacking in knowledge about the wonders of Hull.
the Humber is actually a tidal estuary formed by the River Trent and the River Ouse joining together, so going on your theory any pub in Stoke/ Nottingham is on the coast?
Not really The fact that it’s tidal is important, but I never said the sea extended all the way up the rivers It’s all about the ‘extent of the realm’ The Ouse (and the Trent) is part of the relevant Local Authorities in the area. The Humber isn’t part of Hull, East Riding, North and North East Lincs beyond the Low Water Mark. That’s because they’re all on the coast (I don't know exactly where that changes, although the Govt do produce maps of it, but it’s certainly further in than Hull.)
Question on 'The Chase' the other night....'Which English coastal city as the HU postcode....?' Coastal!!! We're about 30+ miles from the bleeding coast.
