Luckily, I actually live in one of the small towns (Oadby), though of course they are being swallowed up by the cities.
But I'd reject the idea that "Leicester, Derby and Forest fans are all pretty scummy", as I work with a lot of them and always have a good laugh.
Probably true, but I don't want to think of Leicester in terms of Phoebe!
(Though, ironically, Phoebe is the nickname for my sat-nav voice that gets me in and out of Leicester!)
