Goole - opinions required

[Anonymous]

Hello, I am a resident of Goole in East Yorkshire. A lot of people say it isn't a very nice place, but I regard it as alright really.

I wonder what other people on here think of Goole?

Is it pronounced like "Ghoul" or is it pronounced like "Goolie"?

I think you don't ahve the demograhpic reach. Maybe if you changed your name to google for a day as a publicity stunt

Goole has one VERY MAJOR disadvantage.

It's on the way to Hull.

So, to utilise one of the popular phrases of the moment, we won't go there.

"Ghoul."

Wouldn't that also place it on the route AWAY from Hull then? Assuming you could make it to Hull and back

I live about 5 miles away (in Camblesforth actually) and TBH, in my experience, it's not all too great.

Being spat at by 8 year old Goolies (nickname for people from Goole around here) that I'd never seen before because apparently I'm a "DIRTY MOSHER" for going and buying some guitar strings.

Not going back there for a while.

I know Goole very well, I have several friends who have lived there. The name Goole apparently means 'open sewer', which in some ways sums it up! My friends actually lived for a while on Richard Cooper Street and Phoenix Street, the drugs capitals of East Yorkshire!

I draw you attention to this link:

Used to do the odd bit of work for a firm doing radio commercials, up the Beverley Road, somewhere, but that was a long, long time ago.

Not sure I could cope with Hull nowadays.

'Er indoors has relatives in Cleethorpes; and that's plenty close enough.

Was that "You only get a Polar deal at Polar ?"
