I'll grant you, this is more convincing than the people who insist to me that Southampton's tolerable because it has more of its historic city walls left than York does.

The happiest are everywhere north east, north west, west, east, south west, south east and south.“Crawley ranked as the “eighth-happiest place to live in Sussex”, according to Rightmove's study”

Do you think Rightmkve are having trouble shifting property in Crawley
8th happiest in Sussex? Do me a favour.
But not north- because that's Surrey.

That was last weekend. International break now innit (although perhaps he's on international duty :shudder: ).
They are absolutely shit and have 3 points from 5 games. It's all very very pleasing.

What … really … no … f***. Who are these people?
Southampton, like the majority of people who live there is as vanilla as you get. John Major would get bored in Southampton. Nothing tolerable about Southampton.
Well I don't mind them as I lived in Winchester for some time. One of my brothers supports them, the best man at my wedding supports them, and my cousin's husband was even the bloke dressed up as their mascot 20 years ago!
The city itself is a bit dull I suppose, but hardly "intolerable" IMO.
Well, a couple of them post on here.
I happened to mention this to an actual real life friend of mine the other day and he immediately gave a knowing "oh god" and went on a 5minute rant about how unremittingly shit Southampton is.
Despite what some people say, no it's not "just a bit dull", it's shit and it needs to be stopped before it claims any more victims.

I did back in 1981 watch a strip show whilst having Sunday lunch in Southampton…. So not all bad.
Think how much better it would have been if all of that had happened anywhere other than Southampton though.

That was my first local as a youngun.
We could only get on the pool table when all the blokes trooped into the saloon bar to watch the stripper.

I once watched a stripper lay down on a bar, and proceed to pull a long string of Union Jack flags out of her minky. We hung them up all around the pub. This didn't happen in Southampton (or Crawley), but it fair stirred up some patriotic fervour regardless.

You can’t really put Winchester and Southampton in the same sentance. Southampton itself is unquestionably shit, most of it is disgusting. Even lifelong locals like my other half and her family say it. I do everything I can in my power to avoid going there. The councils and planners f***ed it up years ago, the place is a mess.
As is the shitty football club, the worst club and fans in English football in my bitter and twisted but entirely correct opinion.

Yep Winchester is a lovely place. Chalk and cheese.
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!

The rebuild after being bombed to f*** by Nazis was urgent, rather than well considered, I suspect.
