    Useless piece of info - My old man made a fortune off designing and fabricating a couple of those sausage turf hoppers (Even though yours are square),and selling them to the local entrepreneurs.

    I never want to see another bloody bog again !!My back still kills me to this day !

        I am from a lovely small quaint little town called Leigh on the borders of Cheshire, It has many a wonderful takeaway and lots of Charity shops for old people to work in . It could possibly boast the largest amounts of Pound shops per square mile than any other town in the UK.

            i had to stop at nuneaton and get a taxi back to civilisation.

            i was there for a maximum of 10 minutes.

            most tedious and infuriating 10 minutes of my life.

            for this, i blame you, tigger.

            GIVE ME RETRIBUTION!!!!!
            The suicide at Derby was because the train was going to Nuneaton.

              My home town is Glasgow, we lived near Kelvingove Park.
              But I have lived most of my life in Luton................What can I say about Luton....Eric Morecombe supported them, Paul Young the singer was a schoolfriend.
              Luton........you could imagine yourself in any Asian town, you could imagine yourself in any African township, you could imagine yourself in any East European town and occassionally you even bump into an indigeonous Englishman although many of them turn out to be of Irish roots.
              And of course there is Luton Airport that wafted in Lorraine Chase.

                Well i'm from Kirkby the home of the sockrobbers It used to house munitions factories in the second world war. It's also home to World boxing champions John Conteh and Paul Hodkinson. Successful footballers including Phil Thompson and Leighton Baines amongst many others.
                Actors Tricia Penrose, Margi Clarke and her brother, writer Frank, who wrote Letter to Brezhnev,oh yea and and Stephen Graham( a cunnt who like to pose for the sun newspaper )

                Home to Liverpool F.C's Youth Academy.We had a close escape very recently when a small football club in blue, not too far from here wanted to move here and build a new football ground Apart from that, not too different from any other town.

                THE TRUTH
                The Hillsborough Independent Panel. 12/09/12

                Today's report is black and white.The Liverpool fans were not the cause of the disaster.
                The panel has quite simply found 'no evidence' in support of allegations of 'exceptional levels of drunkenness, ticketlessness or violence among Liverpool fans' and 'no evidence that fans had conspired to arrive late at the stadium' and 'no evidence that they stole from the dead and dying'.

                        after hearing of the quaintness of kirkby i would very much like to visit and watch this small football team in blue who would rejuvenate this quiet little hamlet with the magificence of a football stadium and turn all kirkbiers into blue followers as opposed to blue light followers which it mainly consists of at the mo.

                            My hometown is Dumbarton which is about 10 miles outside Glasgow, its built on the banks of the river Clyde with Port Glasgow and Greenock facing it.
                            Dumbarton is the ancient capital of Strathclyde and is pretty historic with Dumbarton Rock, where William Wallace was once a prisoner..

                            Dumbarton was once a heavy industrial town with shipbuilding,glass making, whisky production and in the 80's computer components powering the local economy..
                            However like many towns in Britain she has not fared well in recent times with the shipbuilding (which built the Cutty Sark) gone, most whisky production has gone as has the electronics.(the electronics leaving cost me my job at the time).

                            Dumbarton has saw its population decline as has its standards, its now the second most poor town in Scotland.
                            Like many towns drugs has saw certain parts of Dumbarton become modern day slums due to lack of work.
                            When a came to Dumabrton from Maryhill it was a desirable place to live, getting on the council list was pretty hard.
                            They built massive schemes for the Glasgow overspill , this created a lot of friction at first but it soon died down.

                            There has been dozens of so called experts hired to revamp Dumbarton but they have all failed, mostly as they were all head bangers..
                            With a historic rock, a river running through it and a lovely town centre, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out that tourists might want to visit Dumbarton..

                            Anyway i have probably bored the arse off you but that's my home town.
