I dunno there's some pretty strange things in Hull which are undoubtedly organic.

It has hotel accomodation, too:

a bridge to Sc**thorpe and a ferry service to Belgium.

The Bridge actually goes to Barton and not Scunthorpe - sunny Scunny is about 15 miles away if you use the old roads (i.e. are a local or a cyclist) and 22 miles away if you use the motorways.

And since when has it been know as "Kingston upon Hull". It should stick to its roots and the name of "Ull" (silent H)

Hull awaits my pie investigation visitations. There`s several pie shops of interest to me.

I lived in Hull for 10 years. Although I miss the place, in my experience, too many of its inhabitants were racist, which has somewhat tarnished my experience of an otherwise great city. Maybe things have improved there now.

I went to Hull once... oh, no, it was Goole.... my mistake.

As a cyclist, I thought you would be happy to support a city named after a cake.
