Hull City: the only football league club with no letters you can colour in. But plenty of fish.

Why shouldn't Hull get a boost like this?

Measured up against the other candidates (Leicester, Dundee, Swansea), I think it's just as deserving. It has a lot of historical significance and is IMHO a more interesting and attractive city than its reputation.

The city of Philip Larkin, Andrew Marvell, Wilberforce, Mick Ronson - why not?

derr, it's not about recognising how cultured a city already is, it's about encouraging it's development and enhancing what they already have. In the past, it's done wonders for cities like Glasgow, Cardiff and Liverpool.

Is that a bit like calling Croydon an Area of Outstanding Beauty ?

Ha;when I saw it on the news,I had similar thoughts such as London Rd. Bognor Regis being voted best street for tasteful high class shopping in the U.K.always frequented by beautiful people!

Press statement from the Mayor Of Hull's office earlier this morning:

"I can't take the smile off my face. For too long we've been regarded as unfashionable and second-class citizens but this is a huge chance for us to turn on the style and show the rest of the world what we can do. It's the sort of result that can change people's lives, and I can guarantee you this city will be partying all weekend. But enough about the Palace match, has anyone got any questions about The City Of Culture?..."
