Luton is the worst. The diseased rectum of England. Nothing redeeming about it. Arndale shopping centre is like Dawn of the Dead. Full of chavs and mad mullahs. Hull's ace if you have a decent job with a decent wage. Low cost of living, friendly people, full of history, hidden gems like the Adelphi, decent university, and Yorkshire's best football club. What more could you want?
I always say this to locals moaning about how "****" Hull is, and I guess it applies to anyone complaining about the town or city in which they reside: moaning about how **** somewhere is says more about you than it does the place you are moaning about.
Ive never understood that, if you don't like living somewhere stop whinging and ****ing move. There are very, very few occasions when somebody literally cant move away from somewhere.
The best 3 things about Hull are 1) The people 2) The places 3) The history You asked for three but I will give you one more 4) Its not in the south, its Yorkshire, its East Yorkshire, its Hull For future reference please refer to this and you wont go far wrong [video=youtube;mXJkDgBUR9c]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXJkDgBUR9c[/video]
Groan not again you know I wonder what some of these oik's do when they sit down and think ......... ooooooo which is the shi**iest town/city/country or whatever, then compile yet another list as a job I assume. Do they Google for answers, ask 15 people who stayed/lived/or have a downer about everything in life but won't do anything about it? One thing about Hull is that it is changing, not a lot physically at the moment but the make up of the population has altered tremendously over the last 10 years and I think will continue to do so. Having Hull City in the Premiership has focused on the city a lot more and the choice of City Of Culture has yet to prove beneficial to the City. Road and rail improvements, as in years gone by have not included Hull it seems that we are invisible to politicians in authority. We have lovely areas and we have crap areas we have people who have no intention of trying to better themselves and seem quite content to live off state handout, all this I would think is not exclusive to the City Of Hull. Road and rail stop at Hull then its the River Humber and the North Sea, in other words coastal, the river is muddy and dirty I would suppose with the many years of fleets of ships bringing and taking supplies to keep the country ticking over, including oil. The shopping areas are bereft of some of the more popular 'posher' shops like John Lewis and personally I'm not keen on the city centre bus run as they thunder through but I haven't a clue to an alternative. So until money, and plenty of it is given for infrastructure (What is happening with Castle St?) and other projects then Hull will not become as dynamic as it once was or hope to be again. Do you like Marmite the saying goes, you either love it or loath it and that's a bit like Hull I don't think there is any in between. On a personal level I was born here and would like to die here as far as I'm concerned for having visited many places in my life in Europe and America its a better place than most but worse that some of the more affluent areas and as I've already stated until investment is forthcoming it will have an uphill struggle to improve.
Another **** site that pulls apart cities they have never and have no intention of visiting. Hull the jewel in the crown of the UK. Having been all over this fair and pleasant land there are hundreds of ****ty towns and cities worse than Hull. Charlie 1 you have hit the nail right on the head.
