Quote: edinburgh yorkie "I am very proud that my home town has been named as the city of culture,so why is it,that the correct name of the city is not being used,KINSTON UPON HULL.after all,Newcastle is not referred too as TYNE,nor is Stoke refered too as TRENT,so come on hull city council,if you are proud to be the city of culture,use the cities correct name,KINGSTON UPON HULL,it sounds more cultured,than just HULL.'"
Agree with the sentiment but in all honesty how often is Newcastle referred to as Newcastle upon Tyne and Stoke referred to as Stoke on Trent today? Not very often. In all fairness if you said to people around the country where is Kingston upon Hull they'd be scratching their heads, whilst it may sound a little more cultured its about the City and its people and very very few refer to it as anything other than Hull. Guess its just a sign of the times.
