Would you believe that there is - apparently - no one else on blogger who will admit to being from / in / at Hull? I find this shocking.

It is unfortunately not a place with a very prepossesing reputation. In fact, probably most people who are not from round these parts will think negative, grim thoughts when the name is mentionned. Added to this is the attitude that many of the locals have with regards to their city. Namely that it is a hateful scum hole that they are quite eager to get out of (if only they had some GCSE's - sorry, did I really make that sweeping pigeon-holing statement? Surely not...). They obviously just don't know where to look, or is it that they haven't actually been anywhere else and therefore don't realise that it is just most of England that is not that nice anyway?

But there are so many good things about it. Honest. I just don't have the time to write about them all right now. That one is for later.

Promise.
