Brighton fan at Clapham Junction Station

[Dave the OAP]

No, i was going to cvnt him off , grown men wearing replica shirts are bad enough, grown men wearing replica shirts with a players name and number on the back is positively embarassing.

No-one seems to know where Battersea is (apart from the park).

eastern boundaries i would say cedars road/lavender hill/wandsworth road junction, southern boundaries end of the northcote/just past the top of clapham common westside, western boundaries st johns hill/easthill, northern boundaries the river !!!!

Quite, but even you and me would say we are going to "Clapham Junction", rather than "Battersea".

.. even though Clapham Junction doesn't exist.

Because you don't live in railway station ?

cardboard box at the back! seriously , i dont know how long the station has been there but you could say there is no such area as waterloo, or victoria etc,clapham junction is just an area of battersea that has become known as such over a long period of time , the same way that the area round latchmere road is known as the latchmere, or northcote road area is simply 'the northcote'................. to locals anyway !!

This discussion may be a bit arcane for a Brighton website, but whatever. There is a campaign to rename CJ station as Battersea, backed by the Council and (I think) the MP.

How old is grown in your book?

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Perhaps his name was Murray.

Im off to bed........before I fall asleep at my pc.

 

[Beach Hut]

Clapham Gull......?

I think the only time he ever wore a Brighton shirt was some sort of sex game of sorts - ask him

 

[westy]

True.

Hello from Balham.

and another exiled in the Balhamas!

 

[crasher]

Right, let's recap what we've learned from this thread

Bushy doesn't like grown men in replica shirts (but it doesn't annoy him).

Clapham Junction is in Battersea.

Ninja Elephant is not an early riser.

er...er...

 

[severnside gull]

thank heaven I'm too old to wear replica kit







.........................never too old for a bit of cvnt(ing) though

18 plus really.

Perhaps his name was Murray.

And he feels the need to advertise this fact ? or perhaps he's forgetful and needs reminding when he puts it on ?

Clapham Junction isn't in Clapham.....

If you had a pound for every time you said that...

 

[clapham_gull]

If you had a pound for every time you said that...

It's in Battersea

 

[Southover Street Seagull]

It's in Battersea

By my reckoning you have two more "it's in Battersea" and you'll break the one million pound mark!
