Where are ya?

Indeed, London is quite unique in being a slum with a large and beautiful back garden.

Thank goodness that back garden is bountiful enough that most of us never have to go near the slum itself

 

Brighton in the south, via the middle bit of the UK for uni and back to London for work, now happily installed in the west coast of Sweden and not missing London in the slightest!

 

As a Scot I a definitley think another category is required. We are not Northeners.
As an Edinburgher I think Glaswegians need a seperate category too.
Scotland probably needs East, West and Glasgow categories.

 

Yep London is serial pants, loathe it with a passion too.
Timpy is alive and well and busy as sin working on other projects, the boy has many talents, Though he will be at Bristol so please feel free to come along and abuse him He loves it really
A Gloucestershire Lad, lived in Oz/Greece/US Maine as well, Tim F is close too.
So possibly a semi carrot cruncher, but not full on like Penance

Kew Gardens isn't London tone - it's a suburb

Michael.

 

I was born in Avon... Then moved to Kent. Then went to university in Hampshire. Then moved to Gloucestershire. Then moved to Lancashire. Now moving 7 minutes drive down the road into the edge of West Yorkshire.

 

Avon, thank god it doesnt exists anymore
Bristol City and County

 

Bath and Northeast zummerzet.

 

Born in Kingston upon Hull (I think it's up North somewhere ) but didn't live there for long, my parents (father English, mother German) moved to Nigeria when I was about 2. Since then lived in Nigeria, Turkey, Germany, Iran, France, USA and now Portugal with a few interludes in the UK for boarding school (Essex), Uni (Bristol) and work (London). Now happily settled in Portugal and have no plans or desires to move anywhere else. I voted "thong wearing continental type" allthough I don't actually own a thong .

Ah Michael, at least you got to savour the delights of Brizzle.
How did you find it? (im guessing it would of been 10+ years ago?)

 

It's very interesting as there is aproximately a 2:1 southern bias, that ratio has been maintained throughout.
I'm going to suggest three hypothesis as a result of the poll
1. That southerners are wealthier than northerners and have therefore spent more on hi-fi
2. They like bragging about it
3. The fact that continental types wear thongs is actually a stereotype, possibly promulgated by Jonathan Ross

 

I reckon Michael secretly has a wardrobe full of furry reversable thongs

 

I bet on one side they're tiger print, on the other plain brown. It helps to hide skid marks, and means you can get two days from one pair. We all know what soap swervers the people from across the channel are

 

Born in Glasgow. MOved to North Yorkshire then several places around Germany. Back to the UK via Bath, then back up to North York's. Been living in South Wales (a little outside Newport), for the last 10+ years, but spent much of 2000-2004 in East London/Essex.

I'd like to state that the one animal print thong I own has never been worn and was given to me as a joke present!

Honest guv'

 

is it MOnkey print?

 

Hedgehog.

 

Leopard I think.

While I've got your attention... any idea which station The Fleece is closest to? Parkway or Temple Meads?
