You will also be in danger of random attacks by rabid Sporrans. Best of luck. Necking scotch from the bottle...ah those were the days. I'm currently in North Kent - which is without a doubt the most miserable racist hostile place I've ever encountered - Belfast was friendly and charming in comparison; if a bit bomby. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

charon 4,943 Posted April 3, 2017 D&G.... Not West Coast. Be trouble when hostilities commence as near the Border. Too near Glasgow. Yet near to nowhere.

WednesdayAddams 103 Posted April 3, 2017 Just for info... North Kent is packed with DFLs (Down From London). 12 years here and I have yet to meet more than around 10 people who confess to actually being born here - admittedly, those 10 are worrying enough by themselves. I know a lady who considers a trip from Thanet to Canterbury to be a major excursion and has never been to London in her life. The local bus garage is staffed almost entirely by semi retired London bus drivers - who when they first get here, cannot believe there is such a thing as a bus that doesn't have an assault screen. As for the racist element.... yeah, true, but they are all Londoners who fled down here a couple of decades back when London started to become over-heated and overpriced. All said though.... there are worse places to live. I can recommend Deal or Sandwich, which seem to be undergoing a renaissance. But I have taken a liking to Middlesbrough since my youngest moved there. It's so flipping cold though which is a downer. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Love the West Coast but fear the commute's not do-able Oh so Orpington is yet to be relocated to South London like Croydon and Sidcup have? Dagenham and Ilford are now routinely mentioned as being in East London, I assumed Sarf Lundun was also spreading even further to cover whole swathes of Surrey and Kent. At this rate Norfolk will be a borough of North London within the next 20 years. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted April 26, 2017 Can a helpful Deathlister tell me where online I can watch the new series of The Deadliest Catch? It used to be promptly uploaded on Youtube, but the powers that be seem to have clamped down on that sort of thing now. I did find one dodgy site which had it, but was then bombarded with adverts for Russian porn and Muslim dating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
