pusillanimous... as in "You pusillanimous pussy", that I hear every time one of my puts falls short of the hole.
It wasnt the most bombed city at all. It had - supposedly - the largest percentage of buildings with bomb damage.
Which would make it the most bombed relative to the number of buildings, so still a big deal. It's not as though Hull is a hamlet in the dales with just an isolated farm shed flattened. My missus can't believe there are still undeveloped bombsites in east Yorkshire from ww2, but she wasn't born in the area and doesn't realise how slowly some things move.
