Even with the Covid isolation so far I have managed a few masked-up brief excursions and get a feel for what’s going on around Hull :-
Men’s fashion – in the shops at least – is pretty dull and uninspiring, monochromatic and plain.
Gilets seem to be very popular, perhaps people are subconscuously thinking they’re wearing bullet-proof vests?
Hull city centre seems to be a mixture of prosperous newer shopping centres offset by a dying high street full of boarded up buildings.
Walked past a group of striking bus drivers shouting “scab” at passing busses felt like a film set for a 1970s drama, very odd.
The roads feel very narrow and crowded compared with New Zealand, but nothing new there.
So much in the media about the cost of living crisis, how to save money, feeding and warming the elderly – well done David Cameron, you f#cked Britain up royally, hope you’re sleeping well at night.
Hull folk are still lovely, thankfully. Chatty, friendly, matter of fact and funny, even if our accent is comical. Urr nurr!
