Which happens to **** all over any history from hull and East Yorkshire. How many world wide important finds have there been up there? Edit: also ill forgive your ignorance, but its not just "an old leaf", these organisms are part of the base that all life as we know it today evolved from. Here's an extract: Dr Wilby describes the fern-like imprints as "pre-animals". "They are not plants or fungi but they are some major higher order of organisms," he said.
Who says ***got anymore? Do you work for a midlands tourist centre or something? Your tongues so far up their arse it's crazy. Meanwhile you denigrate Hull at every pass. Lapping up the stereotypes like cum from a spoon.
"They are absolutely world class. Some of them are substantial in size but it's almost impossible to see them in the forest because they only become visible when the sun is at the right angle." Or on April 1st, silly **** So good they only discovered them last month. This find completely rewrites al that we know about boring stones in a wood near Leicester when the sun is at the right angle.
One thing doesn't create a city's history or heritage though, which is what we're talking about in the context of culture. The "finest iron age sword in Europe" was found in an ancient burial site near Hull - dated around 400BC. It was buried in a rare mounded burial site, which traces some of Hull & East Yorkshire's earliest roots back to a tribe known as the Parisii tribe, whom originated from Gaul (modern day Paris). The Hasholme boat was discovered near Hull and is known as one of Britain's most important Iron Age finds. Not to mention Hull's long history which includes: Founded by a king Royal Charter English Civil War Abolishment of Slavery Maritime history Mutiny on the Bounty - connection World War I World War II just to name a few key points in Hull's expansive history.
The first one was found almost 60 years ago. More have been found over the last few years. These finds confirm life evolved the way we know it all the way from way back when and are the only proof in the country life existed here in the Precambrian age, and one of only a handful of such sites in the entire world. Quite a significant part of the worlds history. Rich for you to call anything boring anyway, if it was the fossil of a Precambrian politician you'd be going bonkers over it. Got **** all better to do with yourself than whinge about tony blair and his lefty brigade.
The point was about tourism and the whole area where those stones are found is a massive tourist area for Leicester(shire), beautiful, expansive countryside and villages on the site of a prehistoric super volcano. The fossils are an extra pull.
Hull also has strong cultural and historical links with not only Britain, but Scandanavia too not forgetting Iceland and Netherlands

So what we've established here is that most of us, living in Hull, prefer Hull and think we should win. Whereas Bob from Leicester prefers Leicester and thinks they should win. Wow.
And someone in Swansea Bay thinks they should win, and someone in Dundee thinks they should win. But who do Big Ted, Little Ted and Humpty think should win, (that comment will mean nothing to anyone under 30)
Obviously, but not to the extent of involvement of which Hull was - I'd say only London was as heavily involved in both World Wars combined. I don't know the exact facts off the top of my head, but there are facts around which state something along the lines of Hull being one of the few places to be bombed by the Zeppelins in WWI on more than one occasion, had the most daytime bombings of Zeppelins, etc... along with in WWII being the most heavily bombed city in the UK outside of London, 95% of the city sustaining bomb damage, almost HALF the city's residents were made homeless due to bombing, Hull suffered the first daylight bpmbing of WWII. After Germany invaded Russia, Hull was virtually the only place in the UK to be continued to be bombed by the Nazi's, due to Hull supplying Russia with ammo etc. The last ever air-raid of WWII was also on Hull. So, I think Hull's part in the World Wars is etched in it's history with a story to tell more than a heck of a lot of the rest of the country I'd say.
