The man who was in charge of the traffic / roads system in and around Hull in the 1980s when all the current system was planned never held a driving licence or drove a car (the two are not necessarily incompatible).

I spent the first 50+ years of my life in Hull, love the place, but can understand the frustrations that people from elsewhere feel. Having said that most places are the same where the people that do get on with it and those that don't sit on the council.

We spent a couple of hours plus at the event on Sunday and really enjoyed ourselves but I did have the advantage of local knowledge.
