    The bulk of their articles seem to just be templates that are used across Reach's reach.

    So, for example for the Hull one:

    I was a young kid growing up on Boothferry Estate when that bridge first opened. It was such a novelty there were massive queues to go up the steps and across to the other side. Simple times. North side of Boothferry Road seemed like a different country.

    And I would bet most of those children could spell "claims and" better than the HDM sub-editor.

    Saying rugby is better than football and calling your city a town are unique to Hull.

    I've lived in bigger cities than Hull and the locals have said about 'going into town' (City Centre) and other references to the place as a town than a city.

    So I wondered if this was just a semantic thing, or if it was a relic from when these places were not a city (like Hull the cities I'm thinking of were awarded city status in Victorian times)

    They say going into town agreed. But saying it is rugby town is a different thing.

    It's maybe because a "City full of smackheads" doesn't scan as well. :emoticon-0147-emo:

    According to the article you would be using the bridge to cross between Anlaby Road South and Anlaby Road North...

    Apparently, today's 'most read article', is the story of a woman banned from Sainsbuy's in a row over a banana.

    Only it turns out she's not banned from Sanisbury's, she just thought she was.

    And it was in Sheffield, rather than Hull, anyway. <doh>

    'This is lovely! Tommy and Holly Coyle's young sons will be running a whopping 14 miles in 24 hours to raise £5,000 for a new playhouse at their school.

    Archie and Arthur, aged seven and five, have decided to run more than a quarter of a marathon to raise the money needed for a Year 1 playhouse at their school, Bilton Community Primary'.

    That's more than half a marathon HDM. <doh>
