Leeds United Chat • Hull
Hull was City of Culture in 2017, as it deserved to be.
One way this was celebrated was a machine was installed by the docks, that picked up everything said as anyone walked past it. Those words were then immediately shone in light on a tower a little way down the road.
So of course, thousands of people took turns at swearing into it, joyfully queuing up to go **** **** **** **** **** and giggling as those words were beamed from the tower.
This was dealt with by changing the software, so it didn’t recognise sweary language, and I asked the audience what was the rudest swear word that it would still light up. Without a pause one man shouted “Leeds.”
Of all the places I've been to in Britain, Hull & Middlesboro are proper shitholes.
