Well done Hull, it's already on my list of to visit, you're up there with some good cities, sadly I've not visited any of them.  So it looks like I'll be adding to my travel list.

Anyone visited all of them?

It's not over the Toronto Humber is it? (Which used to have a nice long local name till someone got homesick for Yorkshire.Wink)

I'm surprised the Pont du Normandie didn't make the list. Certainly more impressive than that Hull one. I'm puzzled as to how Hull is getting this high profile. Nothing to do with that Blatter bloke, is it?

I can understand why some here think the bridge in Hull seems a very strange one to be listed but I am pretty sure it is the only one in the world that pedestrians can legally stay on the bridge when it opens and that would make it very different. I have personally seen many bridges throughout the world from the deck of a ship and I still think the view of the Humber Bridge when approaching from the south by road is one of the best I have ever seen. It used to be the longest in the world for its type until that Japanes one was built. I am pretty certain I am right about the swing bridge, you would have thought they would have included that information on the web site. One day I am going to stand on it when it routinely opens. Regards, Roy
