Hull is going to be the UK's City of Culture in 2017 -


It's been voted the worst place to live in the UK in the recent past – it's listed as 1 of the UK's 'decaying towns', I'm not sure what effect 'City of Culture' type things have in the long term, but it can't do any harm I suppose. Londonderry was the last place (it's every 4 years) & they seem to have benefited with the extra investment it brought.

Anyway, just a bit of fun, 'Where the Hell is Hull'??

You just have to click to start, click where you live, then click where you think Hull is.


How close were you?


I was 15 miles away, and I was born there!

That's right [smiley]aes/lol.png[/smiley] I'm glad someone likes it!


I've actually got a bit of a hybrid Hull/Lancashire accent if you can imagine that - a bit Peter Kay impersonating Geoff Boycott[smiley]aes/joking.png[/smiley]

Great if they can make Hull the UK's City of Culture in 2017, then who knows my home-town Wolverhampton UK's city of Culture for 2018.


Lets start voting now

Malcop – it's every 4 years, so you've got time to build up a bit of support for 'Wolverhampton 2021' - It's got a nice ring to it

Yes Beverley's nice – that's where people used to dream of retiring to.

I'm pretty sure the Wolverhampton City consulars are already working on it

Wolverhampton gets on the map this time of year, every year, anyhow....
