I thought it would be interesting to get a snapshot of where in the world people here are from.
I know there are a lot of miles between members of the forum, and it's fascinating we can all get together and talk about our favourite stuff without having to convene in a club house once a year. The wonders of technology
So here's me:
I was born in Rotherham town, in South Yorkshire in the UK. I live out in the suburbs of that same town, about twenty minutes walk from the beautiful countryside of Wentworth. Rotherham is a lovely looking town with a great church, nice parks, lots of amenities some really fine buildings. There are trees lining the main shopping area, with benches, street markets, flower beds and the like. When it's nice weather, it looks really lovely. It also has a lot of independent businesses selling kooky clothes, handmade ornaments and finery, and cafés, coffee houses and the like.
Unfortunately it's spoiled by it's population: There are a lot of vulgar, horrible, common, unemployable wretches who live here. People who can barely string a sentence together because they're uneducated, drunk, and have lived off benefits (welfare) their whole life. What should be a beautiful town has become the arsehole of Great Britain thanks to its people. The thing is, those people are usually 18-40, meaning the next generation is growing up the same way. Thanks to our wonderful government people are afraid to discipline their children, so they just run amok, thinking it's perfectly normal to behave like little bastards.
However, there are exceptions, and there are many nice, good, hard working people too. They just seem to be the minority
TL,DR: I'm from Rotherham, UK. Slap bang in the heart of the country, surrounded by beautiful countryside and only 30 minutes drive from the amazing Peak District.
Where are YOU from?
