Great British Pub Crawl apologises to total ‘dump’ metropolis dubbed ‘finest night time out’

A pair making an attempt to drink a beer in each pub within the UK have issued an apology to a whole “dump” metropolis – and stated it’s as “good a night out as anywhere we’ve been”.

Over the years, Hull has been on the receiving finish of a good bit of stick, however the 2017 City of Culture has definitely received over the hearts and minds of Nottingham-based Dale Harvey and Holly Booth. They lately took a visit to the town’s Old Town to tick off pubs numbered 2446 to 2463 on their gargantuan journey.

But it appears the Old Town hop round, which was day 651 of the crawl, took them just a little unexpectedly. Dale wrote that they have been on a “Highway to Hull” – but despite being pleased with his pun admitted he hadn’t been overly excited about spending time there.

“So… before we start… let me just get something off my chest… I owe the people of Hull an apology…” they wrote afterwards. They claimed to have spent a good bit of time within the metropolis through the years however “would all the time describe it in a lower than beneficial manner… (the phrases ‘a dump’ might have come up greater than as soon as…)

“Well, all I had really ever seen of the place was boarded-up shops, run-down estates and graffiti everywhere… I had never really ventured out beyond whatever venue that we had headed to for a wrestling show or beyond the football stadium and I’m going to admit that I was wrong”.

Tucking into his humble pie, he then added: “I’m big enough to admit it when I get something wrong and can honestly say now, that having been down into the Old Town, I think the place is absolutely banging! People of Hull… I apologise… you have a lovely town… and I already want to come back”.

The motive for that, he went on to clarify was due to the prime quality of the town’s pubs fostering a “party” environment whereas the individuals there have been extremely “friendly”. Some have been bustling, others quiet – and all in he beloved it. They even had amusing on the identify of the Wetherspoons there, The Three John Scotts, allegedly so-called as a result of through the years it had been owned by three separate vicars, all of whom had been known as John Scott.

In all, 18 boozeers had been felled. “As a whole the town is just brilliant!” They wrote: “The people of Hull are polite and courteous… and SO, SO friendly, we met loads of great people, chatted with them and heard stories…

“The town was already getting going by 4.30pm with a party vibe at The Empress… even on the first week of January… and it was still banging down in the town at Dirty Dicks at almost 2am when we decided to call it a night!

“There are beautiful cobbled streets, old pubs steeped in history, cocktail bars, karaoke and a party atmosphere going on everywhere you look… For me, it’s as good a night out as anywhere we’ve been… think York but without the price tag! Loved it… can’t wait to get back and do the rest!”
