Found Amy, she was outside Boots opposite my hotel. What a brave spirited lady she must have been. The other really famous person from Hull, apart from William Wilberforce, is Philip Larkin whose practical guide to parenting I never did find very helpful.
Soon Hull is to be invaded by Toads. These are fibreglass painted ones like London's elephants and those lions and cows. Up here they pronounce them "turds". I did a double take when told the streets of Hull were shortly to be covered with them; it seems quite a clean city to me.
I hit the hotspots of Howden next. Where? I dunno, it's just another picturesque town oop north.
