Emma,

I don't think prescotts accent funny.

My brother lived in hull for nearly ten years and I went there many times to visit him, to play in sessions and to hook up with numerous other people from there that I met on my travels.

I haven't been up for about 10 years now but I have a lot of affection for hull, its folk scene, a girl I had a relationship with there, a young man who committed suicide that I met there and the rugby league side (Hull FC not HKR) who I went to Old Trafford to watch beat Widnes in 1991.

I have found that Prescott gets bogged down in poorly constructed sentences on occasion which in a politician can be unhelpful, hence my response to Hawkwind above.

His televised use of fists against a member of public and his extramarital affair had their day as sources of amusement, but that day has since passed.
