    I'm not sure you can use language like that about SGJ...

    I think Castro just doesn’t like admitting he’s wrong.

    Haven’t you Hull folk got fence boundaries to be arguing over?

    Isn't a Port City getting confused as a coastal City the problem here ?

    I don't think so. It's more trying to get a definition of "coastal". i.e. As well as a city (1) obviously on the coast ( adjacent/abutting the sea), what about (2) cities on rivers (with estuaries) flowing into the sea. The debate seems to hinge on salinity/brackishness/ tidal penetration up said rivers.
    Hull's in the second category. Hence the debate. Throw some geology in there ( as I foolishly did), and the plot thickens !

    It's not a Coastal City that much I know !
    I've never known anybody refer to it as being on the coast until now

    During WWII Hull was referred to as a 'North East Coast Town' during our blitz experience

    Well wouldn't that mean every city inland on a river is coastal ?

    No. It seems some official office (mentioned in a post by someone above) uses either a high tide location or a point up the river where the swelling tide reaches maximum up-flow. Amount of salt content in the water at such points also comes into the equation. It's a tricky one. I'm for Hull being coastal (for other reasons too - geological + current) , yet others are not. What about Bristol ? On the coast ?

    Not relevant
    Hull is alongside an estuary as well as a river

    The English realm extends to the low water mark
    Obviously some rivers don’t have one, the Humber does
    Minerva is on the coast
    Done deal
