Not quite. Had a Wigan post code up to the age of 22 when I moved a couple of miles down the road and crossed the postal boundaries. Plus my father is from Haydock, traditional Wigan supporting territory until the St. Heleners started encroching. That too has a Warrington post code.

Hull's a dump, the best thing about it are the roads out, which is why I left at 18

And you're a dick but you'll get over yourself, maybe.

says the guy who lives in the go somewhere quiet to die town of withernsea

Are you still out grabbing in a desert somewhere?
You'll end up an ex-pat, you have the perfect character profile.
Nick-nick.

You haven't been missed

He can choose to move, you'll always be a dick.

Golborne and Lowton are Wigan borough, Warrington postcode, in Cheshire yet covered by Greater Manchester Police.

Golborne is mainly Wigan fans with a sprinkling of Warrington, St Helens and Leigh fans.

the FACT is that Hessle, Anlaby etc. ARE IN EAST YORKSHIRE

They probably don't want associating with Bransholme, Orchard Park, Longhill, Greafield, Bilton Grange, North Hull and Boothferry Estates, Gipsyville, Hessle Road, Anlaby Road, Holderness Road, Preston Road...........
But they are stuck with Withernsa.


Tough-titty..

They will have their work cut out, me and the gaffer were shopping in Hull yesterday and it was dead, what a contrast to our shopping trip in Liverpool last weekend which had a wonderful christmas market with food stalls, craft stalls etc and an abundance of nice eateries and drinkeries to stop and refresh in.

The boundary breakdown has always struck me as a bit do-lally.
Withernsea 20 miles directly to the East of Hull = East Yorkshire.
Goole 20 miles-ish directly to the West of Hull = East Yorkshire.

Which county do you think Hull belongs to?

It isn't in a County, it's a City by charter (1299), people seem to not really know the history of the place.

So, how come it was previously in the county of Humberside?

It never was a formal county, it was a ceremonial county to promote building the Humber Bridge, it included Goole, Grimsby etc etc. Was never an authority in it's own right (despite the "County Council" badge it was allowed to wear.)

Really.

Yep and I suppose I was speculating about the different local authorities.
East Yorkshire one is here there and eveywhere.
Fom Withernsea to Goole to Stamford Bridge if I remember correctly without being assed to check.
All over the shop.

It goes back to getting people into Parliament I am afraid, local wards and the rest of it.

Yes.
It's a shame we have never had anything other than a Tory constituency MP!

You only need to compare the East Riding to Hull to see how much garbage that statement is. Labour have f'd up just about everything thing they ever touch.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaanyway - Hull, City of Culture, well done Hull.

I'd advise you to take a trip to my small former coastal holiday resort.
F[iu[/icked under nothing but sitting Tory MP's and neglected and left to rot under all shades of sitting Governments.

I find it's usually the councils that just have to dress up a donkey in a certain coloured rosette to win, that usually try the least. Still gets me how people from certain areas vote Labour yet they live in toilets that the council does nothing to improve.

Your last statement proves you are absolutely clueless as to how local and national governments work

A poignant piece about our great city last week.
It seemed it was never going to happen.

Followed by fantastic news and confirmation today.
Hull gets the break it so badly needed. Hats off to the many upfront and behind the scene-ers who have worked tirelessly to make it happen.
