    IIRC, Middlesbrough was the first town bombed by the Luftwaffe.

    Again, that was when they produced something on the Tees worth bombing.

      Yeah, but Swansea was second MOST bombed, not FIRST bombed.

      You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

          Even though I'm close to Middlesbrough I wish they would come back and finish the job including all the chav/scum that polute the place.

            Ugly, lovely town (on Swansea)

            Wales is the land of my fathers. And my fathers can have it.

            What's the quote by the Railway station? Is it "Ambition is critical"?

              All of Britain is a carp place to live. People might claim the north is slightly less carp, but the difference is so minimal that it makes no difference.

              I am in a good mood today

                How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

                  I am in November, after I have finished taking money.

                  UK is a great place to make money, just a carp place to live. Bit like what Northerners say about London.
