You are a resident of the festering cesspit that is known as Kings Town upon Hull (but that was too difficult for it’s inhabitants to pronounce so the locals shortened it to Kingston upon Hull but even that was too hard to get their tiny intellect round so the shortened it even further to Hull but still… too hard so they have ended up calling their hovel ‘ull. By the end of the century it will know by the indigenous simpletons as just “ll”)
