    Yeah I accept that
    I think we were really talking about UK cities, because it would take a massive change in culture to become Hamburg, or Berlin for that matter (lots queueing to get into clubs as I was getting up last time I went)
    On t'other side of the pond though even the city that never sleeps has a decent nap on a Sunday

    Anyway he goes to York for 9 instead because people spit in Hull at that time in the morning...I choose to have a lie in and use Hull for shopping when the shops are open

    Ok. I used to at that time and day as well. However I was referring to you saying you preferred the option of York at 9 on a Sunday
    My point is that all UK cities are crap at that time, so it's not really fair to slag Hull off for it (to be fair I've never been to York at 9 on a Sunday, but I don't imagine that it's at its best?)

    If you did you'd find the spit had a hint of Chianti.

    Some bizarre results in there.

    Much as I enjoy Hull being looked upon favourably. We have at least four McDonalds' that I can think of. Over 100 parks? Hard to believe that.

    It's obviously a crappy piece of clickbait.

    It's per 100k population I believe so 1 McDonald should be about right. I'm not sure how they count the 'parks' but Hull has a lot of green space compared to most cities, especially if they're counting the countryside

    Thing is, normally these comparisons make Hull look different to what it really is because of the tight boundaries, so suburbs aren't included because they're technically a different authority. That makes the parks thing even stranger.

    How can you include the countryside? Not just in Hull but but anywhere else?

    More advanced computers in the East Riding obviously, unplugging themselves and getting to Hull to have a wander round the city centre.

    Have we got less McDonalds than everywhere else?

    City centre, St Andrews Quay, Kingswood, Anlaby Road, Cott Road and Holderness Road, seems like a fair few to me. :emoticon-0112-wonde
