I wasn't going to respond to this until I read J from "9"H's response to Fionn. Wonderful....Way to go John. A pleasure to read your musings, as always. (And thats a serious comment).
Mind you, is Hull part of the UK? Discuss !! On second thoughts, please don't !!
And lest our US friends are oblivious to the point. Our unelected first Family of Folk, (ie The Watersons, not the Windsors).......Have a huge connection with Hull....Mind you, none of them live there anymore LOL!

Have a good day all, especially John.
