No one knows where this is when you say we live on here. Our neighbours need to calm down though

Journalists move down and publish articles every two weeks about how the place has been ruined by incomers and no locals can afford to live here. Yes Tanya Gold I mean you.

You can't bunch those 3 together. Poor old Gloucester doesn't have much in common with the other 2.

Show quote history

I bunches all of them as tweed was mentioned and also cheese rolling, not many people wear tweed in Gloucester but cheese rolling happens in Gloucester….

Yes, you're spot on. It was the only thing I could think of apart from "birth placeof the co-op" that wasn't to do with a scandal.

I suppose Hitler and the town hall?!

Show quote history

Unfortunately the scandals are what people think of, they think of all the negative connotations. I don't live there now but still see the good side.

We wander lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once we see a crowd
Of tourists checking out our lovely Booths.

Kendal?

Show quote history

Not wanting to nitpick but the cheese rolling is at Cooper's Hill, so not Gloucester, though it is Gloucestershire.

Steppingintome · 08/09/2024 09:29

We all live in back to back terraced houses and eat curry

If you look it up the address for coopers hill is Coopers Hill, Gloucester, GL3 4SB, so yes, technically it is Gloucester,
