The only culture in Hull is of the mould variety. Chesterfield should be the UK's city of culture.

Except that they haven't.

 

Peter Mandelson was appointed High Steward of Hull back in May and in that role he sees it fit to support promotion of the city ... including their bid for City of Culture 2017.

 

They are competing against Leicester, Swansea Bay (Swansea, Neath Port Talbot and Carmarthenshire) and Dundee.

And the job of the High Steward is what exactly?

Prescott claims he turned it down. Mind you he probably thought it entailed serving drinks on North Sea Ferries.

Only in the UK could Prescott, Mandelson, Hull and Culture be mentioned in the same paragraph.

 

What on earth next ? Rotherham, Johnathen Wosspot, Diane Abbott ?

 

Barnsley, Ed Millimetre, Boy George ?

 

Ee, by gum, whatever next ?

Well, Mandelslime is already a bar steward of the highest order, maybe this is the next logical step?

I can't think of a list of cities with less culture than those!
