Rival Towns?

Cr0fty · 12 Feb 2008 at 19:54

Being a completely idiotic town Swindon is probably a rival within itself.

Too southern

We've got a cleaner that comes from Wolvo. She went mental, proper schiz, when we called her a Brummie. 'Doi oi soind loike a brummoi to yow???'

Well, actually...

Its strange but you have to live down here to realise the difference, i can tell when someones a Brummie or if they are from Dudley, Walsall, Cannock.. they are all slightly different

Its like how peeps from Middlesborough get ****ed off if you call them Geordies

I bet you have been asked if you are from Manchester before now, probably by someone from down south

The only place I could find doormen that would do the job were a security firm in Clapham. Good job the place took 12k in liquor cos the staff were just short of 3k.

Swindon town are going down, going down, going down....!

Quite ironic, really.

There you go all the bloody same to people on the outside

Gilly · 12 Feb 2008 at 19:59

Couldn't agree more, but they're only slight differences. Someone from the lesser areas around the outside (

) are calling themselves slow sounding if they say the same of Brummies

Not in the least bit. I have no reason to doubt it.

Nor can you edit in a timely fashion

Wiggins · 12 Feb 2008 at 20:01

Oh yeah and the last one was me...lol

Took me half a bottle of Jamesons mind.

Not strictly towns but I feel theres a rivalry between the Black Country and Birmingham, obviously the Black country wins hands down as brummies are thick and sound stupid.

Edinburgh - Glasgow, I suppose. The more intense rivalry is the one between different areas of Edinburgh, which is based mainly on football teams.

For the record: Hibs > Hearts

Your record is wrong, are you playing it at 33rpm instead of 45rpm? Hearts are quite clearly the better of the Edinburgh teams.

But Edinburgh is certainly better than Glasgow - how it ever got the City of Culture tag is entirely beyond my comprehension.

Southampton and Portsmouth.
I work about halfway between the two so you get some interesting banter in the office.
