 Fuckin' proud to be a brit m8. Poppy appeal, are boys, the queen etc. I love the little train at Dawlish. You can wave at the passengers going by and pretend you're in The Railway Children, then go and lose many pennies at the amusements.

dadrips posted:lmao "industrial garden town" I grew up in a 'garden city'. It was basically just a very boring suburban town with a few extra grass verges to make it 'greener'. Family from abroad would often get lost because all the streets looked the same.

Most of the rough areas of Bristol have been gentrified nowadays. There are very few areas I'd be nervous about living in. It's a great city with lots of character, which a lot of cities of a similar size seem to lack. Love the waterfront, and there always seem to be plenty of gigs and cultural events going on.

York, Brighton, Oxford, Cambridge... Those are the big ones for tourists outside of London.

'Chav' is so overused round here it has lost all meaning. I've heard it used to desribe people with trampolines in their garden, disney films, christmas lights, yelling at your kids, basically anything considered low class and trashy. In my day it was reserved for those in tracksuit bottoms with fighting dogs. What do I know though? I'm probably a chav.

Phoon posted:daily mail sad face is very pleasing to me It's amazing because nine times out of ten the sad facer has brought on their own misery or is being completely unreasonable. They seem to think that running to the papers will magically help them get their own way, like a child running to mum. Does this sort of poo poo happen in the media in other countries?

proof of concept posted:I was in London for a couple days in the summer of 2000 and my primary memory of that trip is that this image was goddamn everywhere: Was it a T-shirt on Camden Market? I remember buying my "Barbie is a slut" shirt from there and wearing it everywhere because I was so edgy.
