    Join the song ye sons of Hull, lots of Old Grammarians on here it seems. I caught the train from Paragon to go up to Filey last year and I noticed they had pulled it down. I hope all the teachers were still inside when they did it :)

    I went to Millom Grammar School and all my ex Grammar pupils would know without any doubt at all that it is people's. Two of my husband's cousins who migrated here in the fifties went to Hull Grammar.

    Yes it should, I was referring to the "Grammar" as a thing, not a concept.
