That's why they've filled the entrance with bile green bridges and metalwork. Let you know you've arrived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ariotofmyown Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I'll go for Coventry. Mate moved in with his gf there a few years ago and visited him early in year. Loads of great old pubs, new/old cathedral is amazing and unique, food choices pretty cosmopolitian. Quite an individual place. It's not really West Mids, but it's a pretty big city in it's own right. I expected it to be rubbish and it's actually pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's widely mocked in movies and Americans in general 14 years living in America and I honestly can never remember hearing Washington State being mocked for anything other than its rainfall. Even then, mocking is not really the word I'd use. Florida on the other hand.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You northern types might not know but it has a reputation for being a bit sh!t but is actually pretty decent these days. Or it was 3 years ago. There should be a reverse thread to this, places people reckon are great but are really a bit poo. It’s got a Wetherspoons and a lovely harbour area. The pumping of raw sewage out to sea marks it down a little bit though. The plus side is that if you do swim in the sea you come out with a nice fake tan.

Crewton Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Hull - I agree. Some great pubs, quite a lively music and arts scene and loads of maritime history. Its reputation for late-night mayhem isn't a myth however. Get out before nightfall. Stoke - Stokies are sound people away from matchdays. As a city, it's a mess, but there's some great industrial history trails. There's a Titanic bar on the station now, so if you don't fancy exploring the pubs, it's a good place to enjoy a Plum Porter while waiting for your train back to Derbados.

I was due a date from a Stoke(Eturia)female a couple of years back from a dating site, She asked about my parents, Dad passed some 25 years ago and Mum through Covid...well that started the end of date ? she's a conspiracy theorist and covid was/is caused by 5G telephone masts, I should contact my Solicitor and file a complaint of some kind to the relevant authorities. I asked where she lives and does she live on her own, No lives with her chain smoking 35 year old idle son who refuses to work, The next day while I'm online she accuses me of talking to other Women, I told her WTF has it to do with you, We've not even met yet(date was in a couple of days time)she cancelled the date as I'm untrustworthy and then blocks me...charming ?

Disclaimer here Eric :- I lived in Middleton on Sea for 4 years and Goring by Sea for 25 so I'm familiar with the area. As such, don't go to Worthing, it's like Ravenholm. Worthing is my pick for Overrated place, unless you are 80. Edited August 26, 2022 by ColonelBlimp Added a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, I lived in Yapton til I was 19, then lived in both Littlehampton and Bognor over the years! Yes, Worthing is highly overrated! Whereabouts in Middleton were you?

My Dad is buried in Middleton Church, died too young. If I recall, there was a bit of a Sunday Football League rivalry between Elmer and Yapton for some reason.

I used to love visiting the Witterings when I lived in East Hants, but I had ambitions to live in places like Midhurst, Chichester and Arundel until work took me elsewhere. The South Downs are glorious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
