Stop projecting, boring fool. I don't think Ben and I have ever interacted.
Remember that time you had an argument about what time things close in Spain, with someone that was there at the time? you brought out all the google searches you could manage as you couldn't handle being wrong.
Or that recent postcode gaff.
You are a massive drain on this place and you continue to prove my point that you never discuss footy, just the same boring ****e.

Yeah, but they'll just come back under a different profile, like Castro did.
It's the traditionally working class resorts suffered most.
Cheap package hols to the med destroyed the immediate post war market.
There's literally a **** load of research - if you want to look for it.
The 'Spa Towns' or equivalents generally do better, especially those on the south coast.

I haven’t come back under a different profile I stopped using that after he popped his clogs. The current one is because I got locked out under the next name. OLM was helpful and got me back in then it happened again so I started again.
Hull has a few etymological theories.
1. It’s from Old Norse hyl- < Proto-Germanic *hulh- which means a ‘pool in a stream/river’. This would be cognate to modern Danish and Norwegian høl.
2. It’s from Old English hula (plural of hulu) < Proto-Germanic *hul- which means ‘covering’.
3. It’s from Proto-Brythonic *hʉl < Proto-Celtic *soulos (with regular sound change of /s/ > /h/ in Brythonic), probably from a verbal root ‘to press’.
The original name was therefore either *Hylvík (settlement by a pool in the river) in Old Norse, *Hulawíh in Old Northumbrian English (settlement of coverings/huts) or some old Celtic river name with the Germanic settlement suffix -vík/wíh/wíc. The Old Norse or Old Northumbrian forms vík/wíh are the origin of -wick and Wyke, identical to -wich in southern English dialects.
Thanks, I was literally having this conversation the other day with someone about how it's odd hull has ended up with the name of the river as the name of the city, whereas Newcastle isn't called Tyne, for instance.
You like every post of his which has a pop at other people.
Funny, people O know who have been to the same place in Spain at that time of year didn’t complain of everywhere being shut at 9pm at that time of year. But there you go…
The fact that you take notice of and care so much about likes, shows how pathetic you are. Funny that you still can't just accept or admit that you were wrong about something.
Wyke = wich. Twinned with a famous city which has 2 cathedrals and was a major English city when was a hamlet.
You have to wonder if the city would have a better image if its full title had been used instead of ‘Ull. And what names the sporting teams would have adopted.
The fact that mentioning what you do upsets you so much shows how pathetic you are. There are plenty on here who cannot admit they were wrong.
Should've stuck to 'Hulu' and called the team the 'Hoops'....
It’s debated whether the city is named after the river (the Celtic hydronym hypothesis) or the river is named after an Anglo-Saxon or Norse settlement.
Feel the need to watch CBeebies with my kids after reading this thread, just to enjoy something a bit more mature 
Hullwick would probably be its proper full name today were it not for the royal charter.
Wyke was established in the 12th century as a town. Before then, it was probably little more than an Anglo-Scandinavian village or collection of hamlets along the River Hull with no fixed boundaries.
