Sounds exactly like Uddingston. Sorry, "The Village". I lived there for a decade and I was forever an outsider
It has a JJB sports but no GAP shop as far as I can remember. Rings a bell though. Is it the same GAP that Mindy is warning us about in his username? You scots have a weird obsession with that shop, their clothes are pish.
I don't know why everyone is getting so het up. I don't think there are any bad places in the UK. Everywhere has good and bad points. I like to keep my mind open and enjoy everywhere. Makes for a serene and inner calmness and gets rid of the negativity that you are all showing on here. Be at peace and enjoy the rich tapestry of life. That has always been my motto and it has stood me in good stead.
The Watford Gap is no different from any other Gap...they are all carbon copies with prices set by head office...
