Hull Jo:Now, today Jean, I thought I’d introduce my home town to everyone. Jean: Your home town? Where is that then? Jo: Well it’s a place called Hull. I spoke to Karen, who has lived in the city on and off for a number of years. Where in Britain is Hull and how many people live there? Hull's on the east coast of Britain, it's on the edge of the river Humber, which leads out to the North Sea. It's about 200 miles north of London. Its full title is Kingston-Upon-Hull although most people refer to it as Hull or 'ull if you're local. We have phrases that are used here in Hull that probably travel 10-15 miles outside of the city and people wouldn't understand what you were actually talking about. For example, mafted, which means warm, or too warm. I think it's about the vowel sounds really: very long flat vowels like “er ner” that’s “oh no”. It's definitely a very distinct accent. Jo: Now, finally Hull is also a town known for its sport. Liam is also from Hull and he’s a big sports fan.How many famous teams are there in Hull? The famous teams in Hull: football you've got Hull City, they're a pretty decent team; and in ice hockey you've got Hull Stingrays; in rugby you've got Hull KR. Hull KR play in the Superleague, the Superleague's the best league in rugby; and Hull FC, they're Hull KR's arch-rivals, it means they hate each other.
