I work in the south but Head Office, just outside Hull. Jesus wept never worked with such an inspiring bunch. (hard work, lazy, no drive, prickly)

Apologises to anyone from the area, if you aren't like thisBlush

Is it true that the first time a helicopter flew over Hull, the locals were out for days looking for it`s nest?

i'm from stoke originally, so i know a run down area when I see one but people are friendly in stoke and have a warmth. In Hull, sadly all I have seen is a poor area, with people who aren't very pleasant.

I'm from Hull and live nearby still. Lots of bright and vibrant people about.

Obviously if the company/business is dull then you will attract such

Near Hull centre the helicopter is about almost everyday. I imagine that you're from somewhere intellectual like Stoke?

Last time I visited Hull there was a guy acting very very strange in the pub I was in. I asked the barman, "Is that the village idiot?"

"Not exactly", he replied, "We all take shots at it" LaughLaugh

I was suffering from insomnia and went to the doctor. "Don`t worry", he told me, "It`s easily cured nowadays" and he gave me a prescription.

I took it to the Chemists and asked if he was going to give me some sleeping pills. "No", replied the pharmacist and handed me a tape of the Hull City match highlights LaughLaugh

The inbreeding surely adds to their character?

Personally i would say Birmingham. Even when they are rejoicing they still come across as thoroughly down beat.

Where are the dullest people in the UK from?

The correct answer is Nigerians or Kenyans, plenty of them in London.

They have the most boring accent on the entire planet.

all areas will vary - i don't think there's a 'stupid' town as such -  lazy maybe

or dull as in boring ?  - not sure ,probably somewhere that looks dull where folk haven't challenged/motivated themselves  to move on   - a grey housing block development in cold and rainy Glasgow ?

although Glasgow does have some legendary characters - so maybe not Grin

maybe somewhere safe like Buckinghamshire then

A good place to start looking is amongst people who give serious opinions on threads like this.

About 20 years ago I worked for a few years as a long distance van driver going all over the country every day. People different in different places but for some reason there seemed to be a concentration of really miserable folk in Nottingham and its environs. If you did say 25 deliveries in a day you would expect an even distribution of cheery/miserable but in Nottingham you have about 15 of them moaning about something or other. Couldn't work out why it was; wasn't a particularly depressing place as far as I could see.
