jim_supra Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 I've got a mate who lives there. I go and see him every now and again for a night out, it's always interesting and there is plenty of 'characters' I always feel wary about parking the Supra outside his house aswell.

Like everywhere there are good areas and bad areas within every town, luckily for me I was in one of the better parts of boro (yes, they do exist!) and same goes for London (I live in Ealing, not Peckham) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerry Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 However.... Apart from the scummy ones, most people are much more friendly than I find people "down South". I know that's generalising, but it's true. People actually talk to you in shops, smile at you when you pass them in the street and are more open and warm. I've found the same anywhere "up North" - East, West or Scotland. I've been in Wilts for many years and it's the people I miss most. They may call a spade a bloody shovel, but you know where you are - which I like. G (waits for attack) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G (waits for attack) i totally agree, up north every one is easy to talk to, scotland is the best you can sit next to a random in a park and start a convo and they will quite happily stay and talk, try talk to some on in a pub in london they look at you blankly and wounder why they are been pestered by a stranger... part from that you can get a decent pint, the night life is gash i've never seen so many nancy boys, and foot ballers wives the drinks are expensive and all they play is R&B, you cant beat the northen life a few cowies and a bit drum n bass!

JustGav Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 I'll echo that as well... Currently working on a big project building a data centre and all the cabling guys that are doing the work are northern. They are such a cracking set of guys, friendly from day one EVEN when I was a suit. Once I was on the floor with them in overalls they were even better, hard workers without a doubt. And to be fair I miss the 'our kid' and other such northern comments since I don't go up north any more for family. (And for those who have met me, yes, I'm actually a northerner-born underneath the south africa/new york/bastardized accent ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pot Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Hmmm... They bring 'Binge Drinking' into the calculation... I wonder if their calculations were based on pints as I'm sure is being drunk up there compared to the tiny flutes of champagne drunk by us southern faries... Either way, I'm sure it's an equal measure so I can't see how that's a measure of how 'bad' an area is... I'm in the 'South' and I couldn't give a toss about a government sponsored measure of consumation of a taxable product, the fcuking gits... Binge drinking, I bet they wouldn't last an hour round my southern flat, at least they can go to the racecourse after to get a meal and complain about their hangover, pussies...
