Dave John Posts: 22335 Joined: 27th Feb 2011 Location: England | Posted at 14:16 on 13th November 2013 Well I've lived all my life in Hull apart from 2 x 2 year stints in Felixstowe and if that is right I would never have got it !!! |
| rustyruth Posts: 18773 Joined: 23rd Oct 2012 Location: England | Posted at 14:38 on 13th November 2013 It's a bit of an educated guess Dave, somewhere at the back of my mind I thought Hull had previously been called something else, I can't remember what but I thought it began with W. I'll probably be miles off course  |

Yes John it does have white phone boxes ( well off white) so does Beverely which is a small market town in East Yorkshire, with a very nice Minster. Edited to add - I'm having to think now.

| Dave John Posts: 22335 Joined: 27th Feb 2011 Location: England | Posted at 19:10 on 13th November 2013 There are some Island beers with the name Beast in them but needless to say I am more drawn to a whisky Island?? |
| Dave John Posts: 22335 Joined: 27th Feb 2011 Location: England | Posted at 19:29 on 13th November 2013 A single Island I think John, just like the 'single malts' they produce. Quite a few to choose... Islay, Mull, Skye, Scapa to name but a few. But I think the Island Ruth is looking for gives it's name to the whisky that is distilled there??? |
| Dave John Posts: 22335 Joined: 27th Feb 2011 Location: England | Posted at 19:54 on 13th November 2013 Originally spelt quite differently but I think you got it there John!! Certainly is a very nice whisky I have to say. |
