There's an article in today's Guardian by someone from Hull attempting to dispel the "myths and half-myths" about our town. I won't link to it as I don't think much of it. The article is pushing for Hull's bid to become 'city of culture'. I pray that the bid fails (I'm sure it will) because the cost to the ordinary citizen will just add to our woes.
The comments to the article include a plug by a Hull blogger for his site. I took the bait and liked what I saw. So here it is.

About Me

- "Grandad's swearing at the telly..." (Alan Klein, "What a Crazy World.") Old, tired and somewhat disillusioned, but trying to keep up standards. Aware that capitalism cannot be reformed, but despairing of its dissolution in the near future, I use whatever means are available to me to avoid capitulation. I join forces with other resisters in the Industrial Workers of the World.

City of Culture eh? Wiki tells me that City of Culture brings "social and economic benefits for the area".
I never did understand why a city couldn't have these "social and economic benefits" anyway.
I always thought Hull was a nice place. Always seemed bustling and friendly to me.
"... social and economic benefits" for hoteliers, caterers, and other services. A big bill for the rest. After the caravan moves on there'll be recriminations and blame-shifting.
