Hull

The Wicked Stepdaughter went to Hull Uni, and I've visited Hull several times on business trips. It's a northern town - cold and windswept, the wind coming in straight off the North Sea, bearing upon it the signature smell of Hull - rotting fish, for it is also a large fishing port.

The town has all the characteristics of any Uni town - cheap & nasty student housing mixed in with muncipal architecture of that peculiarly British style of pretentious gothic. Places of note around Hull are the Deep ( sea-world on steroids), the Humber Bridge and a large sandbank known as Sperm Point.

Saving Graces? It's flat.....
