Subject: RE: BS: Queen comes to Hull
So we've started letting royalty in again, have we? No bloody sense of tradition. (I live a just a few rods, poles or perches away from the Beverley Gate, where in 1642 the folks 'from Hull' told King Charles I that he couldn't come in - he was probably wearing trainers - and that he'd better have a Civil War.)
