Hursty jonattonyeah Lol Padiham, near Oswaldtwistle which is one of best names for a town ever. Did any of these towns make it over to the states by any chance? Is there a Padiham in Virginia?
jonattonyeah Hursty Certainly not in California. All our names are Spanish or, towards the northern coast, Russian-influenced. But possibly in the likes Pennsylvania or Virginia. Let me take a look…. EDIT nope. That’s all you all.
Mad_Cyril Hursty the Ribble Valley, the nice side of Pendle hill?! A few times. But nice is relative!
Hursty Mad_Cyril Well there is quite a distinct difference from one side to the other you could agree?!
bosstrabs Cyril, you sure give a right old slagging to some nice parts of the country. Ribble Valley is the UK’s happiest place to live. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/oct/23/ribble-valley-officially-the-yk-happiest-place Chester was 3rd in a recent YouGov poll of British people’s favourite cities, with only Edinburgh and Bath placing higher. NOT MY WORDS, THE WORDS OF TOP GEAR MAGAZINE Please enlighten us as to the hitherto unknown delights of ‘hidden gem’ Urmston or wherever it is you live
Mad_Cyril bosstrabs Cyril, you sure give a right old slagging to some nice parts of the country. Can you point out where I gave the Ribble Valley a slagging please Dave. An actual one, in words, rather than an interpretation of actual words. Chester on the other hand, I’m happy to slag off.
Amps Mad_Cyril Chester on the other hand, I’m happy to slag off. My mate has a place on the river, it’s delightful.
bosstrabs “Wouldn’t choose either” seems a fairly straightforward dismissal of it to me, MC. To be fair, I don’t really know Flixton. All I see is this as I pass through it on the train occasionally. Looks dece
Mad_Cyril bosstrabs Wouldn’t choose either” seems a fairly straightforward dismissal of it to me, MC. Its a statement of preference. Have you been swapping fluids with the idiot?
Mad_Cyril Amps Sure it is. The town is a bit of a shithole though, and its in the middle of fucking nowhwre.
bosstrabs Don’t think there’s much wrong with the place (Chester), except it’s possibly boring and provincial to some. There is a bizarre breed of ratboy scally with a strange underclass hybrid scouse-Welsh accent, but they’re not as feisty as some you encounter in Manchester.
bosstrabs I honestly don’t know how you would think Chester is a shithole. Unless you hate history and want to see it all torched to the ground.
Mad_Cyril bosstrabs Flixton Station wouldn’t look so magnificent in that pic if the old station house hadn’t been torched!
