That you would like down south?


Got to be "bits" with your chips - never used to get offered that down south.

things i like up here:


1) women calling you "pet", "love" etc....it just feels NICE

2) PROPER chips with PROPER sauce...like GRAVY

3) never, EVER being too hot....i HATE being too hot

4) everyone having warm accents

5) stuff being cheap (£2 max for a pint etc)

Way out west
...loads of brownfield sites where you can build a football stadium at the drop of a hat.

Old gits like me will remember they did in the Brighton of the 60s and 70s.

Do they have fish and chip shops in Goring or is it all Chinese takeaways?

Rugby league. So you can share your new stadium with another club.
Brighton RUFC and Hove RUFC both being rich and influential enough to buy off local objections to their new grounds.

I moved from Goring 4 years ago but they did have a chippy next to Caffyns can't remember the name though and dinos takeaway which i think has since changed name and Mulberry wine for cheap Stella.

Up North
After racking my brains all I can think of that is good up here is:

a) Lots of away games are very close

b) There's a John Lewis very nearby for me to spend lots of money in

c) You can park very easily in most town/city centres

d) People often remark on my accent and ask where I come from so I can then bore them about Brighton and how nice it is

Yorkshire/ northern lasses are a lot friendlier than girls down south - fact no snobbishness about them.

Very true, I'm a southern snobbess and proud of it :D

75% of away games this season being within 2 hours train journey and at much more reasonable train ticket prices than down saaaath.
