The sweet, sweet irony of this post is fantastic

If people in London greeted each other the whole country would grind to a halt, there simply isn't enough time in a day to greet that many people, and whether you like it or not, the UK wouldn't function without London.

And the state of the houses, gardens going past on the Oxford tube, poverty or just not giving a you know what

OcUK - where everything can and will be argued!

The poster in this case has taken up a position, then googled to support it and had to ignore all the evidence that conflicts with it and then has had to cherry peak some really weak "evidence" in the form of out of date or incorrect maps to support it.

He's ended up with an argument that means, according to him, York isn't in North Yorkshire either!

Why would gardens be going past on the Oxford tube? :confused:

Holding a geographical location in high esteem is a little bit bizarre. The Welsh are terrible for it.

The best Welsh lamb, the great Welsh air, the best singers in the world... I don't know how they manage to brag so much, what with that stupid dragon tattooed to their tongue.

Meh

I don’t know...5 mins walk from my house I have the East Coast and fabulous walks surrounded by the sea, wildlife and nature...

When I lived in Manchester...5 mins walk from my house was dog turd pavements, litter and police sirens...

Nah. Since they shut the mines, we put them in the stocks and pelt them with stale Yorkshire puds.

Much better living near the coast imo. Some lovely places on east Yorkshire coast as well.

Some total hell holes too! I found everywhere there to be a pain to get to. Terrible road links and loads of cameras.

No matter how much people try and say Yorkshire's great it falls flat on it's face because of one simple word.

Middlesbrough.

My missus is from the boro. I’ve met loads of really nice genuine people from there too.

My condolences. Let me know if you want a new model and I'll find you a nice Geordie slapper!
