Where Should the Next UK City of Culture Be?

[Colwyn]

Glad it's not going to be Bristol. We haven't room for any more culture: we've already got Banksy and Wallace & Gromit.

I've also been to them all ...........Once!

I think it has gone from places of culture to places that could use a bit of a boost. It should be places like Harrogate, St. Andrews and Bath, instead it is Hull and Leicester. I used to work for a Hull based company and was there almost every week - and I didn't witness much that I would term as culture.

I won't have that! It has some of the most skilful Glue Sniffers I have ever seen! They didn't even stop or try and hide the cans as two policemen strolled by on the other side of the street! I mean John Prescott lives there, what more can you want? Eeee - lets 'ear it fer 'Ull or --- perhaps lets not!

I've also been to Hull a time or two and could never, in a million years, envisage it being a City of Culture!

I seem to remember some nice wooden green phone boxes
when I visited Hull but i'm not sure that would be enough to swing it.

[marina]

Yes, I can remember those too when I used  to visit a friend from Hull many years ago.  Seem to think they had their own phone system, totally separate from the rest of the country.  Not sure how it worked and I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong!

Green wooden phone boxes and a Stars in Their Eyes winner? It has to be Hull really.

[kevin3]

If they can rustle up a couple of tiered floral planters Hulls a cert'.

The secret weapon being white metal telephone boxes -- and yes only Kingston Communications (Formerly Hull Telephone Company) are allowed to operate in Hull, not BT or anyone else! But then --- who would want to?  

Well how about Glasgow, very old City, centre of commerce for Europe in the 1500's, has theatres, Galleries, Opera, more inventions than you can name, great artists etc,?

[Scunner]

They have already been European City of Culture - and a very good one too
