Good points Hull City AFC reside there It's secluded out the way in a far corner There's a way out Bad points There's a way out (the natives can escape) Assem Allam It's the first bit of England anyone sees when arriving via ferry from Belgium/Holland.
"A good and friendly place - the only place I've lived where people thank you when you stop for them at a pedestrian crossing." I thought everyone did this? A friendly wave to the driver as you walk by to acknowledge him stopping.
here is a few places i can say are worse than Hull Oban - a wart on the beautiful west coast of Scotland Caernarfon - with its lovely castle and walled town in Wales - by god the rest of it is Scunthorpe Bradford - its just a collection of shops . . . very samey textile shops Dunbarton - the McDonalds was very "Soviet" Morecambe - a collection of tatt tatting on a scrapheap Port Talbot - in fact most towns that part of Wales are pretty grim (Swansea & the Gower aside ) Luton , Big lumps of London , Weymouth and Solihull For some of the Best ive visited or stayed Leeds , Manchester , Swansea , Worcester , Chester , Conwy ,Stirling & Ballater
I lived in Chatham between 91 and 95. I can, therefore, say with absolute authority that when it comes to comparing towns/cities you really should be careful. What year was you born son? I might know you're mum, I might even be your dad? Ask her if she drank in The Marquis around that time, or maybe The Viscount. If she says she drank in the Sewers I'll take my hat off to her, some game girls used to frequent that place. What a s**t hole, mind you Brompton High Street did have The Cannon just 'round the corner and that was a great boozer back in the day. Run by Yorkie(RIP) so no wonder it was decent, run by a Yorkshireman you see.

However, if you want to take pictures of "the land of green ginger", cream phone boxes or the worlds only submarium, that can only be done in Kingston upon Hull.
born in 76 and by Chatham, well you know, used to play pool in the viscount. yep Chatham is a shixxole and Hull sounds good by what i am hearing
Is The Cannon still on the go? We used to go in another decent little boozer called The Jolly Caulkers just off Chatham High Street. Rochester was a good night out, used to frequent The Angel in Strood from time to time. That place was a bit lively on occasion. In all honesty I have nothing but great memories of my time down in the Medway towns.
Only remember Oban when i went as a kid, seemed ok. I liked Morecambe fantastic bay, and no wonder them Chinese are doing good at the swimming. They were off like **** when i watched em.
Having a bad reputation isn't entirely a bad thing. 1. It's nice to know it isn't a **** hole or as bad as people think. 2. It won't become overpopulated.
**** me I grew up not far from Gillingham after moving from Hull, are you really going to do this ****.....Gillingham for ****s sake what a **** hole! The Mrs is from Gillingham too and she's a bloody good advert for the **** hole....
I've said it before in similar discussions, and I'll say it again now. I've been to Stoke. For a few days. How Hull is adjudged to be worse than a place like Stoke is just beyond me.
My dad lived there for a bit. He moved to Hull when he met my mum, but he's always said that Hull is far, far better than Stoke and Newcastle-under-Lyme.
