Real England

real england indeed

This gallery of Worcester nightlife through the years is just right for this thread - https://www.worcesternews.co.uk/galleries/worcester_nightclubs/#gallery49

I would never get carded when I was 16/17 and I looked younger if anything, no way that would happen now

As an ignorant foreigner those pics are exactly what I imagined upon first encountering this thread's premise. That and fan-made YouTube videos designed to accompany The Lark Ascending as played by Nigel Kennedy.

xp I had a phase at 16 where I kept getting ID'd after having no trouble at 15. then we switched pubs and problem went away

i hope somebody finds that cunt, evicts them, then sets them on fucking fire

'the the Queens English' suggests there is more than one true Queen. Treason!

maybe prince Andrew is avoiding federal prosecutors in New York because he isn't fluent in Queens English?

lol

You're not welcome here if you don't sound like Joey Ramone.

“I think they assume I have gone to China but I didn’t go, and they still didn’t believe me. I don’t know if they believe me now.”

Real Wales tho so we’re good.

local time travel shop that only sells toilet+kitchen roll with a window display featuring knitted poppies, dead man's collection of royal fine china cups, scrabble letters, mickey mouse! When the blokes mum used to own the shop it was an often very poorly stocked non-dispensing chemist that hadn't changed since the 50's - it's effectively just a monument to her.

needs more golliwogs

Really relieved that Blitz is kitchen roll, because you’d probably rub your arsehole redder than Cromblyn judging purely by the packaging.

the bog roll is called Area Bombing iirc

He couldn't get away with golliwogs in Thornhill Lees, his shop would get burnt to the ground! But that would probably be a talking point with him.

(not only a comment on the current weather, but also a future summary of this coming year of Brexit)

Walking on an incline through saturated impossibly slippery mud is something I've almost mastered, but I took a bad fall a couple of weeks back. My Real England moment today was walking past two very dodgy looking lads, one of them with an air rifle with with a telescopic sight on it and he says to me as I'm nervously looking at his gun: "you want to watch that path it is very slippy mate" ..

Thoughtful young chap.

“do you have the New York Times?”

“ah no. we just have English papers here, Sir.”

“and the Irish Independent.”

“ah yes. only UK papers.”

not enough ellipses in the world to convey my reaction to that

What you see is what you get here. Nothing fake. Great to see a man proud of his town and where he comes from. Vote Nandy,

Lyrics written by John Dawson, Mike Baker, Matt Wilson, Dave Hardy, Bernie Belsham, Jamie Terrell, Simon Juniper.

Romford gone to the dogs.

"River Rom" eh? (googles)... "Romford is first recorded in 1177 as Romfort, which is formed from Old English 'rūm' and 'ford' and means "the wide or spacious ford".[12] The naming of the River Rom is a local 'back-formation' from the name of the town; and the river is elsewhere known as the Beam."

My stepmother is from Romford/Upminster, however despite this I still quite like the song.

because he is raising money for charity would it be churlish of me to think this lad is an attention-hungry tit?

Free speech is Real America iirc.

The cynic in me thinks the majority of people raising money for charity are attention-hungry but this fella takes the cake yes

he seems fucking horrible, but I'm very Catholic when it comes to irl partial nudity that isn't in a swimming pool context and perhaps I'm being unfair!

This is John Manley from Netherton who used a digger to smash up a brand new Travelodge on Edge Lane because he'd not been paid his wages... he's been jailed today for five years and four months #CapitalReports pic.twitter.com/q9akHkIaZE
