The reason I put Winchester and Southampton in the same sentence is that Winchester is very clearly inside Southampton's catchment area - that's all.

And you appear to be confusing Southampton with Eastleigh. I mean yes there are shit bits of Southampton (Lordshill, Millbrook etc) but there are with every town and I had a girlfriend from West End. It was proper nice there I can tell you. That said, I won't argue that Southampton itself is a bit dull.

I've never really understood your hatred for the football club though. I mean you're in Fareham - half way between Southampton and Portsmouth - and yet somehow you dislike Southampton more than Portsmouth, so there's clearly something wrong with you.


Yes, yes it is. Winchester is one of the lovliest cities in the country. I loved my time there.

Fun fact: my sixth form in Winchester (the same one as @Hiney's and @hans kraay fan club's kids went to) is the official sixth form for kids in the Falkland Islands. It amused my dad and step-mum that when they went to the Falklands, the local paper (if you could call it that, as it was about 10 pages long) had an article on the sixth form!
I live absolutely half way between Winchester and Southampton - our local pub, 400 yards away, The Halfway Inn, is literally that - the old coaching stop on the Southampton to Winchester road.

We go to Winchester at least once a week - most Sunday mornings for a stroll and a coffee, and once a month or so for nights out. I honestly cannot remember the last time anyone in our family of four went into Southampton by choice (other than some of my away cricket fixtures).
