    Hull is a bit of a dive. Well, a lot of a dive really.

    I can say that as someone who grew up in Grimsby.:rolleyes:

    Yep - home of the Housemartins - I loved them!!:T

    was never on BT, first place to have a telecom company pre BT - Kingston - so always had cheap phone calls... when we couldn't afford to buy a house everyone kept telling us to move to Hull :confused: The phone company was the only thing I ever found that aroused my interest...

    Well normally its one of those places you don't really pass through, because it's a bit out on a limb really.

    Unless you mean you passed some "Hull" once when going somewhere.

    But a bit of diacalm sorted you...
