I once thought that Stockholm might be a pleasant place to live, but given that half of TMO would consider moving over there I've changed my mind somewhat.

Sorry, Damo, I was only being a bit silly. But Salford is not part of Manchester. Grrr. Is it's own city in it's own right. However, if the question is whether you're northern or southern, treat it like it has as much fluidity as class. You may as well be whichever one you want to be. And living in Burnage even for only a month qualifies anyone to state that they're Mancunian.

When people ask me where I'm from, and I say "Glasgow", after how long can I reasonably expect them to stop saying "that's a nice Glasgow accent you've got there, ha ha. ha. haaaaa."

O:Christ - does that make me northern?
As anyone sensible knows, the South starts just after runway five of Manchester airport finishes.

Weren't you just saying it was pathetic when people leap in with a snide comment for no real reason?

Thanks for the drunkenly scrawled note you left at the pub Thorn... You should have said you were here I'd have taken an hour or four off and come for beer..

As i said to Wayne - I really didn't have much free time. I was under the watchful eye of Royal Philips Consumer Electronics for most of my stay and staggering into the Black and White at 11.30 was about the only moment I had to myself.

So, what brings you to Botswana, and how long have you been here? Do you hang out at the Bull and Bush?

HERE?? What do you mean here?? Fuck me its a small world.

Thanks - that explains one part of the puzzle! That is also why I asked if you were Brenda the other day. But you are not. I see that you and Brenda (Travelling Canadian) are both in Botswana and not the same person at all. Small world indeed. <confusion ends>

So, answer the question, Squeegy/Mooch. I need to be convinced you really are in the same place as me, and not someone who's just having fun with me! Or someone who's read the Ladie's Detective Agency books.

OK, what brings me to Botswana. Well its the place I call home. Ive lived here for about 15 years and no I dont go to B&B but I used to go often before I moved to the UK two years ago. I believe it is still the rocking home of drunken brawls and good pizza.

It's inside a department store though and therefore doesn't count leaving the number of good restaurants in Croydon at a heart-renderingly poor zero.

The noodle bar right opposite where you work is extremely decent, or maybe you're scared to go in there because of the imaginary people getting mugged outside your office.
Also - the Royal Asia Tandoori on Lower Addiscome Road is a very good curry house.

I know. That bit really upsets me. Croydon tries to clutch onto a bit trendy modern culture but does it 5 years too late and locates it in a House of Fraser.
You should ask Thorn about the department stores in Croydon. That's where he takes all his mates out for a slap-up birthday breakfast.

I waited almost half an hour for my food there once and haven't been back since.
I'm actually talking out of my arse when saying there are no decent places to eat in Croydon. I believe there are quite a few fine places near South Croydon station but, wouldn't you know it, they're too far away from my office to make me want to visit them. There is also a very nice Chinese place called the Wing Yip (or something) but to get there you need a car.

Curry houses aren't restaurants. They're either the staple food trough of the schlepp class or a 'Guardian - The Guide' food experience for rich kids trying to seem noveau.
There's a great Pizza Express on Brighton Road.

Your turn.
Dunno, we only ever go during the week, and never liked the pizza. Dros pizza is better. I lived here as a kid with my parents, went to M a P school. Came back 4 years ago; my guy works in the Aerospace industry, for the BDF. How weird to find someone from my city on a discussion board - people here thinks it's really bizarre.
