All that talk of East Yorkshire and they didn't even mention the fact there's two East Riding of Yorkshires.
One with Hull (ceremonial) and one exactly the same shape, but without Hull because they don't like the county they're (not) inside, and wanted to rule themselves.
Even confusinger, the postal town of many villages/towns near Hull but in the East Riding is "Hull", despite it being a seperate administrative place.
And then there's "Greater Hull" which overlaps everything, not really official though, just a local name.

Imagine a boundary changing there... The administrative work would be tremendous.

I'll shut up now
One East Riding of Yorkshire is an unitary district/authority, which is a part of the other East Riding of Yorkshire which is a "county".
That county is then inside Yorkshire and the Humber, which contains:
Seriously though, look at that table on Wikipedia, it covers the whole present Yorkshire and the Humber fiaso.
Here's an image of it if you've got no web-browser.
If you wanted to formalise Greater Hull I guess just saying it's the area with postal town of Hull would work.
Hull + towns it touches due to urban blobbing.
