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
