I'm the opposite, never lived anywhere that wasn't about 10 mins walk from the city centre. The idea of being outside a city interests me, but not being able to just walk out of my house and have 100+ different options of food/bars/entertainment in a half mile radius puts me off. I complain about being bored all the time anyway so **** knows what I would be like with just a co op and a pub.

The strangers saying "hi" thing just threw me off. Only strangers who ever try to talk to me are either homeless asking for money, those charity dicks who are everywhere now or someone trying to mug you. I'm sure I would get used to it though.

Living in a village doesn't mean you're always miles from anything mate. Plenty of shops, pubs, takeaways, etc

Doesn't sound like a village to me. My picture of a village is some street with a pub and a shop and a postbox. Probably one of those charity ****ers as well. Then loads of houses around it but essentially just the main high street

That pretty much sums up my village.

1 pub, 1 shop, a letterbox and a weekly bus to the outside world.
 
Don't really know in Croydon, I think Thornton Heath is supposed to be pretty ****?
 
I'm a door-to-door salesman mate <laugh>



Not really. I just don't understand it when people say Londoners aren't friendly. I've never found that to be the case, we'll happily take the piss out of anyone.

I was born and bred London, Archie.
 
This used to be my local boozer when I was younger, it was a crazy world once you went into either side(bar or lounge)it was so big the brewery had one manager for each side.
Young local birds would flock there on Fridays and Saturdays, you didn't know whether to **** them or fight them.
In the bar two old women would sit together, get drunk and then knock **** out of eachother, then repeat every day except weekends.
You could buy anything in there and the walls were spattered with blood from bygone fights.

Pity the old place has been demolished, I have to fight with the wife these days instead.:emoticon-0105-wink:

Tough pubs? Did you try the Eagle and Child?
In the first part of a special series looking at some of the roughest and toughest pubs of Liverpool’s past, Paddy Shennan recalls an infamous former Huyton boozer.

And a few memoirs of the area from some RAWK ****ers.

I'd be up at that bar, bashing my stick on the top and demanding to be served.

I'd take no nonsense from that shower, I can tell you, Tobias.

My mates uncle once walked into that pub to give his neighbour a bin bag.......it contained his Alsatian.

You’d have gone down well in there mate, by well I actually mean ****ing quickly.
 
<laugh> So Tottenham was a step up in the world for you then?

There was a time when Tottenham was a nice place. I caught the back end of those times, and I can barely remember them, as I was too young.

My family moved to Hertfordshire in 1976, just as I became a teenager, and I was glad to see the back of the place.
