    Not many cultured people in Hull when it comes to watching culture going by the ticket sales for the Philharmonic Orchestra appearance. Fortunately the cultured folk of the East Riding came to the rescue. <laugh>

    But fortunately it's like it now, despite the best efforts of the negative and naysayers.

    They didn't stop it happening. Successive councils did.

    I'd be interested to see the football figures for key shopping areas in the first quarter.

    No really, I would.

    There is an awful lot of 'fur coat and no knickers' folk in EY.

    Don't let's kid ourselves.

    Was in the queue for another two for Saturday but no luck.

    A lot of uncultured cults in Hull apparently.

    Plenty of fur coats and knickers types though. To some people culture is the arts. To others it is a pattie throwing competition.

    Another triumph for the appeal of the East Riding. And a reversal of the EY people buying most of the tickets for a cultural event in Hull where most of the tickets for this event will be uncultured city oiks descending on the cultured acres of the East Riding.

    No overnight queuing either, or HDM interviews with lifelong Katy Perry fans who have dreamed of the day KP finally comes to EY.
    Shame they can't handle a crowd round Burton Constable way though.
    You're just a small town in Greatfield.
