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?
