Good stuff.
Hopefully all the Wankerati will move back there then.
The ones that impose their metropolitan chauvinism on us local proles by rebranding our local market town as some kind of chi-chi, artisan capital of the South West .
They open trendy, progressive schools and put signs up declaring us s Frack Free Zone.
Under whose remit?
Complain about it and you'll get the stock answer of how the town was a quiet little backwater before the Londoners moved in.
Personally, I prefer a quiet backwater to what we have now full of yappy women called Xanthe running vintage clothes emporia and the like.Comment

Even back in the 1990s everyone from up North who graduated went to London
Even back in the 1990s everyone from up North who graduated went to London. I applied for loads of jobs around the Manchester area and there was nothing apart from Oracle at the time and they were only pretending to Uni graduates. I went down to London before I graduated for an IT job and got the job conditionally based on my grades. The the City and big fat contractor rates, where you got treated like dirt but at least you were compensated with dosh.Comment
