The fishermen of Hull were known as '3 day millionaires', because they'd spend a lot of their earnings when back on shore getting drunk and having a nice time, before going back out to sea.

My parents met in Hull, and I've long term family friends who originate from there, it's a tongue in cheek song which makes it quite likeable - too.

I got my first ever tattoo in Hull. 1982 I think. I was there to watch the Ian Gillan band which ended up being a great gig.
Happy new year to you!

Happy New Year to you too.

Apparently the fishermen used to wear ear rings during an era where if it'd been anybody else,people would have taken the mickey - in generally being less enlightened times, but nobody did because it was robust fishermen.

I find social history nuggets quite interesting.

A much underrated rock band.
