The Lancashire Society for the Promulgation of Truth is sponsoring me for a Missionary trip to Yorkshire in the autumn, to try to spread light to the heathen. I am hoping to be welcomed into your hearts.

But the best fish and chip shop is there.... can't remember exactly but it's near the market.

Otherwise, why? Did you not learn your folk songs:? From Hell, Hull and Halifax, good Lord, deliver us?

Guest, who's been to Hull but escaped to Beverley - it's much nicer and has a gas lit pub.

A promulgation, for your information, John in Hull, is somewhat like a stroll down Memory Lane, but brisker. So I agree with you- I don't see how Greg S can bring it with him since he does not appear to have been there before.

BEWARE!

The dangers of Hull

You are liable to be accosted by an intoxicated polar bear while strolling through the Land of Green Ginger. If the bear has been stored in the fridge next to sume9 bananas it may be very infused,(thanks to a spilling error) and try to flog you a copy of the English Book of Penguin Folk Songs.
You also need to watch out for fish in the pavement, and a loud cry of "Oss on flags" will warn you either of the imminent approach of an escaped horse, or a large singer with a ring in his ear.
Watch out also for any purple helmeted cyclists as these are gold medallists from the Incontinental Athletics Association who have leaked for England.
Any herd of cows you encounter may be an advance invasion force from Lincolnshire who have just swum across the Humber.

For the big Fis Depp0 museum, the tour of the Spanish quarter and the fact that Hull is on of the few cities with an ox-cart bear and bannannannanas delivery service. Where else would you hear the plaintive cry of the vendor - "Are'nt these cattle little charmers? Buy me bear and sume banananans9!!". And the "Smells of Hull" tour. Think of it as a pilgrimage.

oAklet-Mathew is not local, but i seen him in The Tip & Spale one night at the filk session, he offered to buy me a bear, but i had already had plenty that day so i said 2No Tanks", the Tip & Spale is on Spring Bank, it is called Spring bank because, in the olden days before they invented muney, people used to buy things with springs, but when they got too many springs, they used to put them in the Spring Bank for safe keeping. When they invented muney, the bank was turned into a pub, and people go there now to sing and play music.The best curry ship in Hull is in Hull as well, some mudcat peepol have been there, like Dorrie and Mick the singer. Sume famus peepol come from hull as well, like John Prescot 9he lives near my mam), he got famus for thumping sumebody that tried to nick his eggs, and Paul Eton from the beetiful Sooth, 9he lives near me and Mick and Dorrie, he got famus for drinking loads of bear, and he goes in The Avenue pub 9like me and Mick), the bloke what invented Toilet Duck comes from hull as well 9i'ts a type of bog cleener).john

I've just realised something. Cromwell was a north of England man, wasn't he? Obviously what he was saying to the displaced Gaels was not "To Hell or to Connacht", but "To *Hull* or to Connacht".

Actually, it was a misquote. He definately said "To Hull or Cottingham" but some deaf git (probably from Analby) mis-heard him.

Cromwell was a southern larger drinking pansy! Hows that for an accurate summing up of one of the biggest murdering bastards in british history aka a very complex character with deep religious convictions and a true sense of justice and fair play old boy.

Oakleaf, as jOhn9 observed above I'm not from 'Ull, but I've been a frequent visitor recently so I've had an opportunity to observe some of the local customs and practices.(BTW I love to hear you and the rest of PTH at Nellies) As a result I am willing to join Greg Stephens in his mission to bring the true gospel from across the Pennines to the poor lost folk of Humberside.

'Tis not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me...
