I can 100% assure you that people polled will have been given a shortlist of, say 15 names. When someone is asked and given a list they'll pick Hull cos it's got a ****, drab sounding name. Pure, simple, FACT. If it said Kingston Upon Hull nobody, and I mean nobody, would choose it. Interesting isnt it that we're constantly told most people dont know where Hull is and cant find it on a map yet they immediately name it as unromantic? There is no way in a million year there wasnt a shortlist offered and all those people from the south west or south east would name somewhere that they've never even been. They'd name somewhere in the local vicinity that they think is drab.
It was conducted by 2000 people, in a country of what, 25 million people - Listen up people, the UK has spoken! 2000 people that probably don't even know where Hull is, nevermind what it is like here. I find it funny how many people take these 'polls' as though they're a fact. This 'story' is in ALL the major newspapers in the country. It says more about our national media and the people who believe these polls than it does about Hull. It's about time Hull City Council got tough and threatened publications with legal threats about loss of earnings through loss of tourism - City of Culture takes us one step forward and the national media jump at any chance to take us 2 steps back!
Point missed - the most romantic list is majority Southern, whilst the least romantic was majority Northern.
Point not missed. Its just an excuse to trot out the woe is me routine about your home town. Do you think the people of ambleside are distraught that most of the poll is down south?
Scunthorpe won this award last time around.........just in time to provoke a load of tosh about being romantic for Valentines Day. So what has Sunny Scunny done in the last 12 months to not even get in the top ten unromantic places to be this this year?
How london could ever be seen as romantic is beyond me - it's like saying multi-story car parks, sweaty crowds, disgruntled french people etc. Is romantic. I really don't get it, what a ****hole london is. The odd posh street full of toffs only makes it worse. What a squalid, putrid sack of excrement. What an inhospitable hell-smeg. Still, I enjoy a trip down to claridges now and again.
Those Southern fools don't have a clue! What could be more romantic than a knee-trembler with a pattie-slapper, down Subway Street, on a wet Tuesday night in January?
What a pile of steaming pony. If anyone asked me which City I thought was the most romantic I'd stick the norry on them and tell them to stop being a silly ****. Who answers these polls? Southern, poncey bell ends. That's who.
Always makes me laugh when southerners, cockneys etc say we in hull have A horrible accent, have you heard a Londoner speak, they sound like they're about To spit,winding up they're mouths to expel a big greenie. THE most horrible accent, followed closely by scousers....
Derek (****er) McGovern has had a right go at hull today in the mirror! An article about ince. He is a first grade ****!
