I think the list was just cities.

Surely Hull has more than 60 pubs? Portsmouth which is much smaller has over 150. Norwich famously used to have 365 pubs though that will have dropped these days. Surprisingly, Scarborough has the most pubs per head of population with one for every 640 people. Makes you think, was at a Chamber Of Commerce meeting in Maastricht years ago. Maastricht is regarded as a bit of a quiet, provincial place. It had a bar for every 430 people, similar to Amsterdam. Leeds, similar population to Amsterdam. would have 1,500 bars on that ratio which it certainly doesn’t.

Hull has 74 apparently.
 
I’ll tell you two places that will piss the pubs to population ratio, Burton on Trent and Chesterfield. More pubs than houses.

Seems not - “ Scarborough, the seaside resort in Yorkshire has the highest pub density, per Capita. Second is the Lakeland centre of Kendal, in Cumbria. Third is another Seaside resort, Skegness in Lincolnshire.”

Apparently, Blackpool has 600 pubs, there can't be many towns that can beat that, though I suspect a lot of them are just bars in guest houses.

Depends what they describe as pubs, as you wrote. Brid supposedly has 27 pubs. I can think of a lot more than that if you include what are described as bars. With the same ratio of pubs to population Hull would need around 190 pubs.

Ha, there's probably a random village of around 50 inhabitants that has a pub and gets customers from surrounding villages and wins the award for most pubs per population density. Most pubs per square mile/km would be another type of award - maybe Scarborough or Blackpool or somewhere around a sports venue.

Portsmouth is top for pubs per square mile, followed very closely by Norwich. Hull is 8th on that list. Which suggest it has more pubs than has been mentioned. Of course those figures refer to cities. As you say there will be places with small populations and a pub which would win, but not really a true comparison,

Wouldn’t make any difference. Expand the boundaries and the ratio would go down as the outlying districts don’t have as many pubs as Princes Avenue, Hessle Road, Holderness Road, city centre…

I'm happy for the ratio to plummet provided we have an expanded boundary. The image of Scarborough in my last post is, from memory, around six miles from the town, risible. :emoticon-0138-think
