Best things about your home town

[rugby bloke]

You went to grammar school, I graduated the OU, and we both ended up in Northamptonshire. What the Hell did we do wrong?

In my case it was only meant to be a temporary move up from London for work ... then I made the mistake of falling in love with a local ! Now it looks like I'm here for good.

Plus Queen Elizabeth Grammar School - my alma mater.

Yes, true
Some of the boys from there, are in the Cathedral Choir, with my daughter
(& boys from her previous School went there, when the Junior School, they attended closed; Cliff School)

The old School, down by the Market is a very interesting building

My daughter went here (just left), founded in 1779, you may have visited it, during various inter-school contests/games/matches??
An absolutely glorious set of buildings

After a wandering childhood and early adulthood I've settled in Winchester and can't see myself moving. It's got a reputation for being up itself, which is only partially deserved.

Oh come on! I love the place, visit regularly and part of its attraction is that it is totally and completely up itself. and could not care less about it.

Damnit.

I am really quite surprised by how little most people seem to like their home towns. Just goes to show how lucky us Brummies are. Although I wouldn't want to actually live there now.

The A416 up the hill southwards. And Waitrose.

Depending on which home town I'm thinking about it might be ships going up and down the Tyne, MGs and internationalism, the best university in the world or an enviable location on the top of a hill within easy reach of both London and open countryside.

My other home town is Solihull. To be honest, the only things I recall with any affection were Tom Crowther Cycles, Dorridge Cycles, and the cycling clubs - Shirley RC, Midland C&AC, Solihull CC. And Warwickshire RC but they were over the border in Birmingham.
