Anyone From England?

Where I live its boring, jsut the same old things to do. Shopping and cinema and thats it nothing else really.
 
I think it's similar for most English towns apart from the biggest ones.

People are always trying to drag me for a night out in Doncaster. Apparantly you have some dodgy underground clubs that are essentially drug hovels. :up:

I havent been in any as I'm too young but I wouldnt be suprised if there were. A night out in Doncaster is alright, you have the police to protect you :D
 
I've found some great places recently and ive lived here all my life, cept for stints in ireland
 
I live in Bristol, England. It's weird, but I live near a area called Springfield, which has a newsagent (British quickiemart) with Indian owners, a fish and chip shop, and a Surgery where my dad is a doctor. My dad used to look like Bill Cosby, until he stopped wearing knit pattern jumpers.

I am not lying....

Is that a different place to boring grimy smelly Huddersfield?


j/k ;)

No.. but 'uddersfield is stuck in like a rift in reality where there is a permanent dark cloud over it.. :( Occasionally, just occasionally a small hole appears and light gets through and on those days it is offically known as 'Glorious Huddersfield'.. lol
 
Just bumping this back onto the main page. We Brits are ever growing on this forum. I demand this be named The Official 'We're From Britain' Thread.
 
I'm not from Britain/England/Great Britain/UK/United Kingdom (:mad: just choose one damn name already!) Anyway, I've been mistaken for being British because of my speech problem. This was mostly when I was younger, but every now and then people ask if I'm british or something else other than american.

So no, I ain't from England.

Lmao. Are you saying we all sound like we have a speech problem? :O

And a personal annoyance of mine, US folks are wrong to say we sound 'British'. What they mean is English. The Scots, the Welsh and the Irish all have their own, very strong accents, completely distinct from traditional 'I speak like the Queen' English. Britain includes England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. It's impossible to sound 'British'. There are four starkly different accents for each of the four countries.

Ok, rant over. :p

To mention something I said previously in this thread, what you said is wrong

Britain is England, Scotland and Wales.... The UK is Britain, the British Isles and Northern Ireland... if you read your passport you'd see that it says Great Britain and Northern Ireland

Great Britain is very often, but incorrectly, used as a synonym for the sovereign state properly known as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

Great Britain is a political term which describes the combination of England, Scotland, and Wales, the three nations which together include all the land on the island. It is also a geographical term referring to the island on which the greater parts of England, Wales and Scotland are situated
