This week Hull was named and shamed as the most stupid place in Britain.

The Humberside city is as both the poorest and cheapest to live in.

The report graded locations using a combination of statistics including exam results, numbers of locals with degrees and performance in BBC IQ quiz Test the Nation.

In reality Hull is a sad story of unemployment, teenage preganancy, heroin addiction, crime, violence, and rampant self-neglect. The landscape is flat and boring, the seemingly endless housing estates, the architecture - which is most flatteringly described as ‘municipal’ in style - and the narrow minded, attitudes of the vast majority of the populace.

There are two fine members here from Hull, Les and Paul, but then you have the other one at the opposite end of the scale.
