I occasionally run the quiz at our local. last year I did a round themed on places I I have lived. The Hull based questions were
- The full name of the city I grew up in is Kingston upon Hull. Which king gave the “King’s-Town” it’s royal title?
- Phone boxes are a thing of the past (more or less), but what was unique about the phone boxes in Hull and the surrounding area?
The full name at that time was more likely, "The City and County of Kingston, upon the River Hull.
I think the Tivoli is where Arthur Lucan dropped dead, hence being buried in Hull.
I was referring to the "where I grew up in" as at that time, it was liable to be the County of Kingston, unless you're over 700 years old.
