Of course now we're going to be known as that town that doesn't allow kissing

No i'm not joking. It's only been a few people, the majority know where it is.

As for Warrington, personally i love living here.

I love living here too.

Northampton is a fast decaying hole of a town with a backwards council that doesnt give a......

Here, the town centre is a nice place to go shopping, the Goldon Square is fantastic in comparison to what northampton has to offer. As much as I love Northampton, it was my home for the first 18 years of my life, I really like living in Warrington and would never want to move back to Northampton. In comparison, Warrington is brill!

Oh and then the team is that bit more succesful up here!

Well, the Cobblers arent in the Premiership are they!

a lot of the posters are on buses as buses are for poor people and chavs

Saw that myself and wanted to throw something at my plasma!

The RU team are?

Indeed, having visited Northampton for the past 20 years or so, and having lived there for 5 years earlier this decade, I always tend be bewildered when the youngsters of today state that they are going to bugger off and live somewhere else because Warrington is crap.

I have to say, it doesn't get any better anywhere else. I couldn't wait to get back here and after visiting Northampton over Christmas, I realised I never really wanted to go back to Cobblersville either, even to visit

As for the sports teams, I've been to watch the Cobblers twice, once at Wantage Road (now that was a one of a kind stadium) and once at Sixfields. If people think they are being ripped off by being charged £17 to watch top flight rugby league, try paying £14 for fourth tier wendyball

I'm guessing he's not a yawnion fan

I've lived in a variety of places and still feel most comfortable in Warrington. I love it.

A decent northern town, with the odd specs of grubbiness.

Are you sure?

Yes

Bold statement!





Surely you mean "It doesnt get any better than this [living in Warrington for me when compared to other places I have lived"'"

Bit of a bizarre statement. Aren't students who have lived elsewhere are more likely to realise that the grass isn't always greener?

71 has a downer on Warrington anyway, so he won't be convinced. I know where he's coming from with his comments re parochialism, but it's such a friendly place in general.

No I dont. I love my town of birth despite it's failings. Probably explains why I live in one of its suburbs.

I thought you described it as the most insular place you knew. Or is that a good thing?

In my experience yes. They think student life is difficult, therefore when they're done, buggering off somewhere other than home would be a doddle.

It may be young people in general, wanting independence before they deserve it, or have grown up enough to handle it. It just seems that most of the people who moan to me about wanting to go off somewhere else are students.

Are we talking students who still live at home then?

It is insular, lacks diversity, parochial, lacking in culture, but it is still my place of birth.

Why do you love your place of birth?

Out of the two who automatically spring to mind, one lives at home and the other on campus in Preston.

The one who lives at home lives right next to Warrington baths, you can hock a pretty nice loogie over most of the new shopping centre without much effort. She's 18 and has her name on the tenancy agreement with her old dear.

Doesn't get much better than that in my eyes.

No more so than any other Northern town and infinitely less so than some.

Not true on the diversity one. Burnley, Blackburn, Oldham are all a heck of a lot more diverse. You'd be hard pressed to find a less diverse town than Warrington (for its size).

Depends how you look at it; Warrington is full of Eastern Europeans. Just because they look the same as the average Warringtonian doesn't mean they don't have a different culture.

And the Asian communities might add diversity in places like Oldham and Blackburn but the communities are very insular and segregated.
