Originally posted by shaunbhoy View PostYeah, you said. The West Midlands, South Yorkshire, AND Essex. Really lived the dream. How very enlightening. I am surprised you are not employed as a Government Advisor.
Well in my case, I have lived and worked in Scotland, England, Ireland, Belgium, Holland, Sweden, Italy, Germany, Poland, Portugal, Lebanon, India, China, Cyprus and a raft of other Middle East countries for starters.
I realise that can't hold a candle to your time spent as a fluffer in Chelmsford, but even so. It is a start at least.
But do tell us more.......Sheffield..........of all the luck.....sounds fascinating..
Secondly, given the length of time you was in the army, and the time you claimed to have spent in India, and how long you have lived in Devon, I'd summise that your list of countries you've 'lived' in is really places you've gone to do some work but never been based in for more than a few months and your family didn't move with you. Well, as contractors I'm sure most of us can play that game too, so here's my (Shauny rules) list of places I've lived and worked (for more than 3 weeks) - USA, Australia, Iceland, Bulgaria, Luxembourg, France, Belgium, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Swindon (it feels like a different country so I'm counting it ). Can I count Newcastle too? They had strange accents and I couldn't understand a word they were saying.
Bored now. Toodle pip

Originally posted by shaunbhoy View PostNo they weren't. Only Germany, Cyprus, and Italy. And get this, even then, we were actually allowed to leave Camp you know.
The fact you don't realise that further highlights the giant gap in your knowledge of military reality.
In all of the others. But I digress.......do tell us more about Wolverhampton and Romford. I am sure we are all ears.
Starting to feel a tad jealous if truth be told.

Brum and Essex...................well that puts a completely different spin on things! Honestly.......keep digging....this is getting better and better.
I've proven why I have the life events to back up my support of multiculturalism, having experienced it most of my life. Come on brexiters, your turn .... or are you just going to quote the Wail when all you've ever done is lived in mostly white areas?

Course, you have conveniently forgotten to mention just where it was that you were a Big Game Hunter with your Bertie Big-Bollocks super-soaker.
Honestly, what a Grade A cosseted Loser.
I mentioned my time in SA in answer to another idiot. I also didn't mention specifically my couple of years in Birmingham, or when I dossed with mates for a few months in Essex.

Originally posted by Whorty View PostI grew up in the Black Country, in an area with a high % (even then) of Pakistani and Indians (remember the Tipton 3?). I went to Uni in Sheffield and lived in multi racial areas (to be fair, most student areas are). In London I lived for years out East, Leyton and Walthamstow central. Then moved to SE London. So yeah, I think I qualify to say I've lived 90% of my life in sh*tholes.

I do despair at listening to you spouting tulipe.
Do carry on though and try to give a narrative to my background that is 100% the opposite to what I have experienced or how I live
Don't despair .... I'm sure you hear a lot of stuff you can't comprehend.
