Still I like Hull!

The official view: "Dinsdale's Joke Shop is a famous landmark in Hepworth's Arcade [off Silver Street in Hull], crammed full of novelty items - it is a practical jokers paradise! Just a sample of the delights on offer are itching powder, fart cushions, rubber masks, rubber dogs' turds, rubber bacon and fried eggs, eyepatches, vampire teeth, stage blood, luminous paint, fake cigars, exploding cigarettes, plastic flick knives that retract when you 'stab' people, indoor fireworks, wigs, false beards and moustaches, lifelike bluebottles and snakes, hands that pull off and bloody bandages you can put over uninjured digits."

My view: It has been a constant (so far) in a changing world.
