My Home Town

This is Sutton where I live - according to the Idler.

If the Daily Mail were a town, it would be Sutton. The entire place reeks of intolerance, sexual repression and aspirational interior decoration.

A festering carbuncle formed on the extremity of the Victoria Line, Sutton today maintains a large population of unsuccessful middle management commuters, who can be seen of a weekend scurrying around town frantically purchasing home electronics and DIY equipment, desperately trying to anaesthetize the gaping hole in their miserable existences with rabid consumption.

Meanwhile, the local sink estates, virtually unchanged since the slum clearances of the early fifties, provide an endless supply of interchangeable bile-filled-baseball-hatted-white-reeboked-hoop-earinged c**ts who would be happy to do you harm if you dare venture into the town centre and the sorry selection of themed sports bars and nightclubs on offer there.

Sounds a fair description.

Where do you live?

Wales

I live in Oxfordshire. They filmed Midsomer Murders in our village.

This is my local pub.

So you live in the town with the highest murder rate in the UK?

I live in North London and since moving here there's been I think 4 murders, BabyP was round the corner from me and just up the road from Hamza's mosque.

Scarborough. Home of Jimmy Savile.

Despite it getting chavvy, like all seaside towns, I still love the place.

Here's the village I grew up in.

I grew up in Bournemouth and did work experience at the Echo where Bill Bryson was editor at one point.

To be fair, they've filmed Midsomer Murders at least once in pretty much every village in southern England.

Like your pub!!!

I live in Maidstone. It has a reputation for drugs. Curiously, an anagram is "I am stoned"

Devon, land of Sheep dips and dogging.

Sutton becomes "on nuts"! which I am most nights or Belmont where I actually live (appropriate eh?) "M T Noble(?)"
