20 Nov 13 - 03:45 AM (#3577250) Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: Kampervan Joe The announcement had only been made about 3 minutes before I posted and so I didn't have a link, but yes, yours is a good start. I'm sure there will lots of other sites soon. I think that most people didn't think that Hull stood much of a chance because it gets a lot of criticism (much of it unfounded). One organisation even said that Hull should be closed! But it's got a great musical tradition to go with its fishing industry and this announcement could help it tremendously. Other than that, having been brought up in Grimsby, traditional rivalries prevent me from saying anything too complimentary, but I did visit Hull quite often and it does have some good things going for it.

And there are others who come, as they think, for a year or two, and stay a lifetime, sensing that they have found a city that is in the world yet sufficiently on the edge of it to have a different resonance." That quote from Philip Larkin, read by Tom Courtenay in the City of Culture bid video, rings true for Mary and me; we came for three years in 1974 and are still here.And very happy with the city and it's culture.

NHS trusts are (I'm being boring now) in law statutory instruments under The NHS Act 1977. So the official title is "The Hull and East Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust Act 1998". So the law and indeed Parliament recognise Hull as a geographical entity....) Now go and find your missing "ert."

However, I do have reservations and hope that the city makes a better job of running this celebration. It certainly bombed with its 700th charter anniversary in 1999 when the person chosen to organise that event left before the event happened under something of a cloud. In the end very little happened for the relatively large amount of money thrown at it and most people in Hull would have difficulty in even knowing that such an event did occur. |

Your post consists of three statements: that you no longer live in Britain, that you have moved on to what you described as greener pastures and that "dung-hills are the enviroments better suited to the brits". The phrase 'greener pastures' is used to imply somewhere better. You have moved somewhere better. You state that dunghills are a better environment for British people. It is therefore logical to assume you are living on a dunghill. |

The largest shop in town, forgive me if I'm wrong, is a Primemark? Mind you, might bring Mrs Musket here. It certainly is better value. Last time I took her to Leeds she instantly found the Harvey Nicks. Grrr. I reckon Phones 4 U is about as cosmopolitan as it gets. Hopefully the focus from the year of culture might interest investment and get the place the trappings of a city it deserves. You need a mixed economy and the posh shops drag in the money.

04 Dec 13 - 07:42 AM (#3581348) Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: GUEST,musket Yeah. Many a time. It wasn't dissing the place. After all I am working to raise the quality of services in the area. I just feel it lacks the commerce of most major cities. This culture exposure is an opportunity to get the ball rolling. Most of my colleagues live on the West or North end, Swanland, Beverley etc. I was taken by how most of them say they have to travel to Leeds or York to have a real good shopping spree. This is the money leaking out of the city in its small way. It is an example not an end but please take this in the way intended, Hull has the space, capacity and population range to cater more up market and the overall investment that gives to the city. I have often defended Hull by saying it has a lower self esteem than it deserves. I love the place but it needs a dimension. A large River Island near the coldest Starbucks ever opened isn't an end, it's a beginning if the city centre is to thrive. |

04 Dec 13 - 07:22 PM (#3581552) Subject: RE: Hull - City of Culture From: Les from Hull Most cities can draw in visitors from a radius, the size of which depends upon the size of the city. In spite of the Humber Bridge, the places that we in Hull can draw from are limited. But we have other things than shops. The Deep is very successful. Visit the City's museums and art gallery, which are brilliant (and free!). Or trace your way around the Old Town by following the Fish Trail (details from the tourist information centre in Queen Victoria Square). For those with more specialised tastes, we can show you more hand-pulled ales in the space of a hundred yards that you could shake a tankard at! And on Wednesday afternoons this area also features the Hull and District Elderly Gentlemen's Afternoon Binge-Drinking Club (Folk Music Section), possibly the most cultural event in the future City of Culture. Our biggest city centre shops would be Hammonds (House of Fraser), Debenhams, British Home Stores. They're all bigger than Primark. But like with everywhere else shopping in Hull is moving away from City Centres. Get in touch next time you're over and we'll culture you up! |

Starbucks relinquished their tenancy last year sometime to our great sadness and surprise. The décor in the new place is fine and the view of the Humber magnificent. I'll be there at least twice a week. |
