The differences between Hull and Wigan/Warrington/Widnes/St Helens/Wigan/etc are that they are on the doorstep of a huge metropolitan city. Hull is the best place to go in a 60 mile radius.

and even that's stretching it

Forget which is the best city, the answer is above!

for what

York and Beverley are within 40 miles and are better for everything.

Beverley is better for everything? Really!?

I'll give you York as better (not for everything though). Didn't realise how far away it was. So I'll change the radius to 38 miles. Basically you're looking 45 minutes driving before you get somewhere of note. Beverley isn't one if them.

I was going to question Beverley too. Nice place to live (some areas) but there are no cinema's, theatre's, no real shopping attractions, the nightlife is full of squaddies etc.

and Hull has "shopping attractions" and great nightlife?

bollox

anyway, as has been said, it's about success and money, not being able to go to Primark and then Nando's.

Hull has a some very decent shopping attractions when compared to Beverley which basically has a High Street.

Hull also has a lot more to than Beverley regarding Nightlife...various cinemas, a lot more restaurants in various areas to choose from, ice-arena, various bowling alleys, various nightclubs,several drinking areas, City Centre-Cottingham-Hessle- Princess Avenue- Newland Avenue.

The Deep, several museums, 2 SL rugby clubs, a championship football club, numerous sports centres offering a variety of sports, a university.
A lot more choice in the areas and houses.

Surely this is all about personal choice. We all like different things and different places. This thread has turned into yet another willy measuring contest.

not sure it has, it's become the usual story where people defend Hull because they love the place, other people criticise it for it's failings, it's an "unsquarable cirle" to quote some crap management training booklet.

is that what you do??

you missed the spelling error in"unsquareable" as well, tsk, must try harder.
