This is HullandEastRiding

Flash flooding in Boulevard, west Hull, near the

junction with Airlie Street was this afternoon threatening to

swamp houses in the street.

A spokesman for the Humberside Fire and Rescue Service said

a call had come in but the brigade had not yet

"mobilised". 

One resident, Jill Atkinson, 38, of Boulevard, said she

contacted the council at lunchtime to report bllocked gullies

were causing problems.

    “Kelly. For God's sake girl, concentrate. I KNOW Frederika didn't mention the capital C. She was trying to be clever and correct someone else's misuse of the apostrophe. I was merely pointing out that as she herself was using the capital form of C incorrectly, she was hardly in a position to preach to others about their bad English. WAKE UP, girl.”

    “Frederika, Graham was correct to use a capital C for Chav, as it started the sentence. However in your reply you used the capital C incorrectly.”

    “Hmm! Now how does one wish the heavens to fall upon the self righteous, when one is too close for comfort. If I ever figure that one out, believe me, they are going to be the first to know. What a bundle of sanctimonious, self seeking, self serving and loathsome scrimshaw litter the shore line of this ever creeping tide of filth. You shall not prosper.”

    “Graham of Beverley - Chavs does not need an apostrophe - it is a plural. From a non-Chav Hull girl.”
