    I have lived far away from Hull and mainly overseas since 1977. It is easier to say I am from Hull, and I mention Hull City also. Trying to explain subtle parochial differences to non-native speakers of English is rather time consuming.

    I always said boyziz when I was a boy. I was just taking the mick. I remember the old Cinema commercials where Hessle was always pronouced as Hessle rather than Ezzul.

    That was a familiar sight when I was young. You even saw it on new estates like the one I was brought up on which was built in 1950. Whitening the step was also a common sight. Some people had a lot more pride in appearances in those days.

    Your full of **** mate.

    Donkey stone not really linked to Hull more of a North West mill town thing and it had just about disappeared by the time OPE was being built.

    Funny how places differ. Used to go to Holland in the early 70s with work and was always surprised that the net curtains only covered part of the window. Apparently they used to think if you were trying to stop people seeing inside you had something to hide, such as an untidy house. I wondered why they just didn't have any in the first place.

    When I was a nipper it was certainly an Holderness Road thing too BT - when I left for home for school our next door neighbour would be ''edging'' her step, she did it every day except Sunday. There were several others who did it religiously too.

    I wasn't in Hull, but East Yorkshire. A lot of people moved there from West Riding after the war, maybe they brought the habit with them.

    I don't think your from Hull. There was an earlier issue when you were going on about people from Hull saying e by eck which you were flagged up for. Now this thread has your pronounciation of wite frig ate which you showed as a long drawn out thing more like someone from the south bank would say. That lead to you being confused when i suggested you are a yellow belly, most from Hull would know what that is. And now to the expression donkey stoning the step, cleaning the step certainly took place although in Hull it was most often called scrubbing or whitening the step. A quick google of your expression shows as I said a northern mill town thing that had by and large disappeared by the time OPE was built.

    Oh gawd, not another one. I was born at Inchgarvie on Albert Ave., and apart from a few months in Bootle at my dad's mother's house, I lived in Hull: Bilton Grange for almost 5 years, then a few months down Victoria Avenue (Perry Street), then Bristol Road until I left to attend Uni, graduated, married, and moved to Lytham St. Anne's, where we stayed until we moved to Cincinnati in 1986.
    I don't remember ever hearing the expression 'yellow belly' for a Scunny or other six-fingered Lincolnite. And the term 'donkey stoning' is the one I remember hearing many times, with my own ears. I also remember watching me mam (vernacular) or me gran, doing it.
    Anything else you'd like to contest? My shoe size? Waist size? Eye colour? I have no idea what you're digging for. Have you? Seriously?

    I have never heard the expression Donkey Stoning before. I suspect you have been watching old Coronation Street episodes on PBS.

    OPE is way too modern for its houses to have a stone front step anyway.
