I’m actually more inclined to kick up a fuss about Google’s choice of location. I mean, understandably, it takes time to film the whole of the country and you have to prioritise some places over others. But for Google to choose 25 top cities and not include Hull in the list is simply unbelievable!

Especially, when you see the cities that made the final cut:

  1. London
  2. Edinburgh
  3. Leeds
  4. Bradford
  5. Cambridge
  6. Cardiff
  7. Belfast
  8. Birmingham
  9. Manchester
  10. Liverpool
  11. Oxford
  12. Sheffield
  13. Nottingham
  14. Derby
  15. Bristol
  16. Coventry
  17. Glasgow
  18. Aberdeen
  19. Swansea
  20. York
  21. Newcastle
  22. Dundee
  23. Southampton
  24. Norwich
  25. Scunthorpe

Disgraceful.
