    Not606 Hull City forum would be my non-googled guess.

    They changed it for the film. In the book it was Woking. Apparently he had the idea for the book when walking around when he lived there.

    The fact you asked the question I thought the answer just had to be Norwich. :emoticon-0105-wink:

    Some people seem obsessed with Norwich. Not surprising as it is a hell of a good place.

    Coventry are a long way behind Hull’s starting point & will struggle to fill Hull’s boots. Which is a shame.

    The place is in a rather dilapidated state.

    Unbelievable documentary on Storyville last night about the death of UN Secretary General Dag Hammerskjold in 1961. We’ll worth a watch!

    Storyville is nearly always the best prog of the week on BBC4 whatever the week.

    Started watching this last night by chance and in 5 mins I was hooked. Riveting stuff - and I don't mean a documentary about shipbuilding.

    Watch this one if you get the chance

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p06sc0x9

    or this one

    Saw ‘Hurt Locker’ and totally agree with your recommendation. Will watch the ‘K2’ one which I must have missed.

    Think this was the first Storyville I saw.

    Astonishing story, better than Hollywood,

    Also this one was good, courageous and fearless Jap lass who was raped fights back.
