go straight on from france, you can’t miss it.
if you hit grenland then you’ve gone too far
hehe, I’ll bear that in mind. I think I’m too the left of the big blob, Londone of something…
Scottish, but living in London…
that was in London. I went there once. There were quite a few people.
gah, my typing’s rubbish. and I’m not allowed to edit 
what I meant to say was:
that was it, London
If you could explain that to the Americans* i’d be a happy bunny. I’ve lost count of the times i’ve been asked:
“You live in london? Hey! Do you know the <insert random surname>?? they live in London too!”
*not all of them obviously - some of them are very intelligent people.
You may scoff, but I’ve had Brits say “You’re from Pennsylvania? Hey! Do you know <person>? They live in Ohio!” And why not – it’s right next door…
I guess as nations we are brothers in ignorance 
I’vehad this before, but I actually have known who they’re on about. Quite scary!
I’m in Manchester by the way.
Daft Bugger must surely be the most British screen name here.
very true - unless there is a PearlyQueen out there somewhere…
I think the recent stigoftdump is in the running too.
jesus - that brings back some memories of english class…
I like the fact it even incorporates the northern glottal “the”. How much more English can you be?
The answer is “none more”.
surely you mean:
“nout more”.
Just wait until they approve my name change to GorBlimeyMeOldCockneySparrer.
A bit regionalist dontchya think ?
Rather like ** FredEckkythumpflatcapoopnorthsouthernjessiecentralheating**
Ah, if that were so … epidemics of blokes falling over, no more complaints of gravel rash (nipple rash?), etc …
Just for the record, the intentional substitution of ‘Fat’ for ‘Fate’ is an in-joke, and goes back to some post or other when someone mis-typed the not-even-slightly-fat Mr. Twist of Fate’s name. No offence was intended, and I don’t think any was taken, judging from ToF’s later post.
Thanks, Curly, for the info on Dublin. I can’t believe I still haven’t been there, since more or less everyone has told me how great it is.
Some have suggested a Dopefest in Birmingham. Actually, I’d be rather interested in this. It is a city that attracts a great deal of sarcasm, and if someone really could show us that it has its charms and merits, I for one would actually like the chance to revise my perspective of the second city. And the chocolate place sounds like a good idea.
Leicester? You have GOT to be joking. Lived and worked there for a few years. Boring, and a dump. Nottingham maybe, but Leicester never.
Could have been worse… Someone could have suggested :gulp: Derby :eek:
