Indeed. You stinking festering pile-of-poo banker-loving grouse-shooting merc-driving mansion-owning Betty's-frequenting capitalist pig!

| Quote Adeybull="Adeybull"Just to lighten this up a bit, but on a related subject of perceptions of hometowns, an amusing (well to me, anyway...) little anecdote from when I was on holiday at a decent hotel in Cyprus a couple of years ago.
At the weekly manager's cocktail reception for all the guests, we get talking to a woman who seemed fairly full of herself. Talking posh and acting frightfully upper-middle class and all that. When asked where she hailed from, she replied "just outside Harrogate". True to type, we thought. She was a little taken aback though when we said we lived not that far away, northwest of Bradford. After some more discussion, when it became increasingly clear she was not keen on saying precisely where it was she came from, she finally had to say.
Cleckheaton.
It was amusing that she did not feel even Leeds carried the kudos she was looking for! Hope for us yet.'"
On the other hand, I used to meet a lad at various gigs I went to. He told everyone he was from Leeds. He was actually from Ilkley! Don't think Ilkley was "street" enough for him. Sorry Tigertot.

| Ilkley is not 'street', it's 'boulevard'.

| It does also work the other way.....
When on holiday in Marmaris (Turkey) there was a huge curry house with a sign outside saying "Famous chef from Bradford".
One evening, me and the Mrs decided to give the curry house a go. We asked if the owner was around and one of the waiters fetched for him. After chatting to him it turns out he was actually from Dewsbury but thought the lure of a 'Bradford' chef would bring in larger amounts of customers!
To be fair, it was a good curry!!

Indeed.
I was just thinking that myself this morning, when I turned right off Church Street to avoid the traffic lights at the "Crescent" crossroads with Brook Street, then drove along West Street before turning right into Brook Street. I presume you have had your butler take this issue of inappropriate street names up with your MP?

Get down wiv da kids, grandad. When we say 'street' we don't mean street, we mean [i'street'.[/i Though I do admit to liking [i'crescent'[/i, I might use that in the 'hood from now on. Innit.

All this talk of 'Crescents' and Boulevards' suggests someone is trying to come on a teensy bit 'Hawwowghahte' (or Arragit, as most of my rellies would no doubt call it, but I'm sure it has more aitches than that  ).
