Hull folk 'dimmest in UK'

Hull is today named and shamed as the most stupid place in Britain.

The Humberside city — which elected bungling Deputy PM John Prescott, as an MP — is also revealed as both the poorest and cheapest to live in.

Meanwhile Edinburgh is named the cleverest city.

Stoke and Liverpool are next on the list of Britain’s dumbest, while Manchester is the rudest but best-dressed, Stoke is the worst-dressed, with Swansea the safest and Glasgow both drunkest and most dangerous.

Liverpool has the best sense of humour and Cardiff is the most polite. Bristol gets the nod as the best all-round place to set up home.
