You can't really compare Hull to London. You can fit the population of Hull into London 32 times. It's like comparing Featherstone to Leeds.

Where have you got those 'facts' from?

Have you ever thought they may stay as its cheap.

Well I am 50 and I know of only one person born in Hull that has moved out of the city. Obviously, I am talking about my acquaintances here.

I have also met and worked with a great many people from other parts of the country in different employment. Each and everyone have said the same thing to me...they came to Hull for different reasons and ended up staying because they like it and like the people.

Even now there are quite a few out of towners at my place of work and they jumped to Hulls defence on reading negative comments about the culture award.

Mick Ronson. Should be reason enough on its own.

Good for the city, will no doubt me more promotion for the sport of rugby league within it.

Do you think you may end up with a huge bronze statue of a fish in the main street. Would that reflect historical culture in Hull?

Yes you can.

I didn't see any obnoxious c**ts when I was up there the other weekend.

Last time I went to London, I saw plenty.

You obviously weren't in Hull to watch a game of RL then?

Were you catching the ferry to Holland?

I rest my case.

You appear to be a very sad and angry man

There's a big statue of a fish in Belfast so why not?

When I saw the thread title 'Culture' I thought it was something about the reggae act, 'Two Sevens Clash' and all that!

Good idea, it would make a nice tribute to the 6,000 men from Hull who lost their lives at sea. Meanwhile we could have a giant gold plated fat cat in the middle of the city.

Idiot.

Hull has it so well done, and its a city with RL in its veins.
