if leeds and manchester are the central organs of the country and the pennines is the back bone....hull is the hand at the end of the m62 arm and withernsea is the finger end....and also the one that just wiped your ass!!
A polished donkey? My favourtite quote on that subject is the out of town lads sat in a pub in Hull saying "Hull's the arsehole of England" and the old local asked "so I take it you lads are just passing through?"
I think that has to go to Sunk Island not Wid. Bear in mind that a once in a lifetime trip to the cosmopolitan bright lights of Wid is the best in life that most inhabitants of Sunk Island (if you can find them) can hope for! Wid is, was, and probably always will be a dump though it used to have one or two decent pubs. I'm not so sure questioning the intelligence of your average Widian (my term) is fair - they did after all build a light house half a mile from the sea so that would still be there after the rest of the town had been washed away! I was glad I never lived in Wid, but it was a great place to go to school in the 60's. In the summer's of 70 & 71 it was 6th form on the beach - we had some pretty wild parties!
What's that? Oh yeah it was the first news out of city in a fortnight when AP did an interview on blunderside
Yep, my dad went there, and is now a bricky. He's considered to be one of the successful ones that progreseed through Withernsea High School
I got that bit, i just didn't know whether he was a genuinely fussy character ( my prowess of integrating myself in the minds of fictional characters has waned over time) and how that related to my post.
