Having moved away in my 19th year and having only infrequent visits back to see family and friends I still have a distinct accent which, although tempered over the intervening 30 plus years still identifies me as a "northerner", a "Tyke" and if someone is aware of the 'ull' twang, as being for "the East Riding", and maybe, just maybe as a 'ull' lad (or as friends south of the Humber say, an 'Hully-gully'.<br /><br />I have read with fond amusement the various ways of saying phrases in the 'ull' manner, especially as with the town becoming the 2017 City of Culture, there has been a wider spread discovery of the 'ull' way of speech, and a rediscovered pride of city dwellers in being recognised as having a somewhat different and unique way of communication from those in the rest of Yorkshire, the North, or the country as a whole. <br /><br />One word I recall as a child (and the reason for this rambling post) is the word 'playgie / playghe'. To my generation saying "we're off to the 'playgie' was a common utterance, obviously translated in English to "we are off to the play-ground". Just thought I would share :-) <br />Derian Ranger Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717668903361910574.post-6991528428676379642016-11-09T16:35:44.753+00:002016-11-09T16:35:44.753+00:00Another Hull word for a Miser or "Marzer"...Another Hull word for a Miser or "Marzer" is a "Nip Cheese" and someone who is a fool is called "Poonoad".<br />Both are words that make me smile, even when thinking about them.PAUL Wnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717668903361910574.post-38471125048412803482016-08-03T05:08:40.574+01:002016-08-03T05:08:40.574+01:00Your music is amazing.

My grandma would also say "dossent", instead of saying daren't. <br />The word "tansad" will also get some questionable looks from anyone living outside of East Yorkshire or "Humbersard", as it was once known as.<br />Hull certainly has its own unique accent, which is very easy to identify, just as the Newcastle, Liverpool, Birmingham, Bristol and London accents.

I recall the Cream-coloured(Yellow???)'phone boxes very much and thought that Hull was pretty special considering It had a very unique public telephone service unconnected to British telecom (Kingston Communications). My home Telephone was also supplied by Kingston. With regards to the statement that such 'phone boxes smelt of Cigarette smoke,I'm afraid that the only thing that I ever smelt was Wee! These days,telephone boxes are very flimsy affairs made almost entirely of glass and with an 18-Inch gap around all four sides - both of which are presumably to prevent people using them as toilets!<br />I will always consider Hull as my second home - God bless and good luck!(Steve Hoyland,Rotherham,South Yorkshire.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717668903361910574.post-10087624256125713882013-10-29T20:05:59.957+00:002013-10-29T20:05:59.957+00:00My name is beth

GWENAP shop, based on the junction of Princes Avenue and Springbank Kingston up Hull is in many ways part of our heritage and has been serving its customers since 1902. The shops exterior has changed little over its 100 year history although in 1947 you would have seen its then owner busy in the shop window with her sewing machine.<br /><br />Times have changed and the business is now in the hands of Cheryl Watson and her business partners. Cheryl wants to keep its heritage and is planning a thoughtful renovation of the interior of the shop and a new website. The business has had a slight change of direction both in terms of its image and the “naughty but nice” adult toys it has for sale. <br /><br />Cheryl said “it’s exciting times for GWENAP and its customers old and new”. Here is to the next 100 years of GWENAP.<br /><br />Visit the new Gwenap website at http://www.gwenaps.co.ukGwenaphttp://www.gwenaps.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717668903361910574.post-50930645630133031062010-07-03T17:18:18.653+01:002010-07-03T17:18:18.653+01:00its best left where it is really people wont walk ...its best left where it is really people wont walk in wherever it is :(<br />LucyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
