I spent a year working in Hull in 07 , and visited Beverley many times whilst I was a CD franchise , there are thousands of nice propertes and proffessional people there with disposable incomes. it is like any other northern city , with slum like areas full of pond life chavvy people who hardly know any better. I would say Hull might have a higher percentage of poor and social problems than other areas , but places like leeds , Manchester and Sheffield are bigger so in absolute numbers there are more rough areas .

I've never even been to Hull.... Surely it can't be as grim as Workington!

Hull is a dead beat rough town, full of skagheads and rough areas, and like i said it is officially the most deprived area in the Uk.

but like I have said many times when people use the excuse that they live in a deprived area so... "no one will pay high prices" it has a place called Priory Park West.

this is a retail village in hull for luxury cars, not RR or Maserati but BMW, Mercedes, Audi,  who is buying these cars? the hull area also has a Michelin starred restaurant, who eats here?

there are 3 chemdrys ( and there UK head office) within 5 miles of me they all have a £95 min charge and charge £160-£180 min for a suite

even in the biggest crapholes of the UK there are people with money,

I've been to both Colin, and yes they are very similar.
However niether as bad as Cleator Moor.

Had 2 nights out in Hull, ended up in a club that i think used to be a cinema,
out with a bunch of lads, one lad who never seemed to get a woman,
was getting chatted up by a few girls, he was grinning from ear to ear,
till someone told the place was half full of ladies on the game.
