Your City/Town

You can get a great Boniffe pie, tea, sandwiches, bourbons and lots of love from lovely ladies at St. Andrews church at midnight on a friday night

He chose Birmingham as the place he lives in, not the place he was born.

What could I say really?

Suggestions on a postcard please.

On an A4 sheet of 100gsm would do, but you would need to write in very BIG letters.

Birmingham, el coulo de Inglaterra. Tenemos un plaza de toros pero no hay matadors alli. Hablamos muy gracioso.

"Birmingham, England on coul. We have a bull ring but no matadors there. We talk really funny."

Ouch.

As for my home town, Welwyn Garden City, erm...? It's better than Telford! :p

Welwyn, like the other new towns of that ilk, is the home of the Radburn layout. Basically the front drive is next to the kitchen and the living room is at the front of the property, which is actually at the back.

Little Hulton not nearly as rough as some folk pretend, basicaly an overspill area that dates back to the slum clearances/high rise housing failure in Salford.

Coniston Avenue where I was brought up was the home of Sean and Paul Ryder at one end and Chris Ecclestone at the other

Pat and Matt Carroll of Central Station Design were about five minutes walk away

Apparently some cunt out of a boyband called BBMak was brought up here too

That said some of the myth that the Ryders came up with about L.H is just that, a myth. Bez on the other hand was a Swinton lad who moved up this way, generally Bez's life in L.H/Walkden was as he described in his book

Telling bit of footage on t'internet when Paul Ryder does the Salford music tour with Barney's biographer, put right on the spot when faced with the mean streets of L.H And all the lovely gardens and patios

Walkden next door to LH, where I now live not bad good n bad etc like everywhere really, bus to centre Manc 35 mins, train to same about 15. sorted

place I'd like to live Kilburn, North London
