| Quote: Gordon Gekko "Seem more obsessed with spin these days than anything else. What actually constitutes being a top 10 city and how is it judged? coz if we are anywhere near the top 10 it says more about the rest of the UK than it does about Hull. This city is a rightly viewed as a poor, slum ridden s[ih[/iitheap, though with the caliber of local politician we have had to endure over the years its hardly surprising.'"

If we focused on the positives we could be.
2 SL clubs, 1 premiership football club, great amateur sporting facilities in all areas.
Some good colleges, 2 universities (1 red brick)
Good theatres, Great music scene for all tastes (youth orchestras, jazz etc)Arts
Shopping area( St Stephens, Prinny quay)
Low cost housing.
There is a lot of great things about Hull, the best being the people.

but that doesn't make for 'good' tv though , but evidently Phil and Kirsty mincing around bemoaning the fact that they can't get a decent cafe latte does.
But hey ho , as Paul Weller sang ' That's Entertainment'. |

As anyone would know who has lived away from the city or travelled to other places there are far worse places than our city to live.

People get the politicians they deserve - they vote them in. The council reflects the population, sadly. This town could be wonderful. I've lived all over the world and seen far worse. The "sink" estates in Leeds, Manchester and Sheffield are far worse than Hull. Parts of Sydney and London make Hull look positively delightful. One thing constantly puzzles me, why, when we have a brilliant waterfront do we not develop it? Believe me other cities around the world would love to have this facility. Another question for the politicians and citizens to answer.

If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

Chocolate River, or Phil's old place?
Can't think of either of them being described as "brilliant". |

Glad you didnt say good shopping ares - because there shocking to be honest - not even on par with york nevermind leeds/sheffield!
And its low cost housing because of the trolls that you'd be living next door too! |

Don't forget the patties!
As said the people are the best thing about Hull, once you get over the accent and apparent "roughness" you won't find a kinder more helpful and friendly group of people anywhere. Yes we have scroats, doesn't everywhere?, but on the whole it is the down to earth folk of Hull (and the patties!) I miss the most.
