We're partial to a deep fried Mars Bar

Glasgow, though it's the Mars bar that nailed it for me.

Ok general area because no one will ever guess the town, There's more sheep than people, we say whose coat is that jacket then and there is nothing but poverty and coalmines.
For the actual town. It's full of takeaways and hairdressers and we all gather in the circle round the town clock.

Welsh valleys ? The Rondda?

Hello fellow neighbour! Also, tiresome jokes about people stealing tyres. Or that we are all self pitying.

Show quote history

Was just about to say we steal car tyres.

A million stereotypes we could say isn't there.

People are often surprised we don’t have a ‘Brummie’ accent.
Those who have heard of my city tend to think of it as a bit ‘rough’
However in bygone days people were actually sent here!
