Anyone from East Anglia?

[DM_Melkhar]

Norfolk - like me, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, etc...?

[Rainecloud]

No.

I visited East Anglia once, but it was closed. :(

[Zeldy]

I thought that was in Scotland.

Shows how much I know about my own country : D~
I live in Merseyside, North West England. Though Im only just part of Merseyside, we used to be Lancashire.
Id rather I lived in Lancashire, everybody looks down on people from Merseyside.

[DM_Melkhar]

No.

What do you mean it was closed?
It includes a good portion of the east of England. :eek:

Actually, it's almost all of eastern England above Kent and below Lincolnshire.

[Little Blue]

I've been to Cambridgeshire, got some family in Cambridge. It's nice down in Cambridge, and other place in East Anglia (some parts even have beaches :eek:), but, I prefer Birmingham, but I prefer Solihull to Birmingham :p

[crono_logical]

The only way you'd have to walk for ages to get to a shop is if you live in the middle of the countryside. I live in a village that has several shops and a few post offices, and about 20 minutes walk away there's another village which has a supermarket and a number of other shops in the same vicinity. Every suburb has shops in it, and most places are no more than a 20 minute bus ride to the city centre.

It's only in the very rural places in East Anglia where the largest settlement consists of about five houses that you can't find any shops within a short walking distance.

Now, Australia is a completely different story. My uncle lives quite near Melbourne and it's literally MILES from his house to get to any shops that they'd consider "local".

My father drives 35+ miles to go to the grocery store. And that is here in America.

[Odaisé Gaelach]

Not the one in Ohio, the one in Ireland.

Yep I do. I live in Essex near that place called Chelmsford which you can see on the map :D well about 15 miles from there anyway. Actually looking at the first map i live closer to Maldon than chelmsford as Maldon is the town next to the village i live in. :D

[Burtsplurt]

I went on holiday to Great Yarmouth when I was 7.

I don't think it was very good.

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

Diss, lol

[Bunny]

I am from West Anglia.

[zorander]

I live in Peterborough. Only for the last 2-3 years though.

Two of my cousins (brother and sister) live in Chelmsford!

Great Yarmouth was a nice place to go to many many years ago. There's a naval museum and a monument to Nelson there. It was a really nice place (judging from old photographs I've seen) until they put all the arcades and commercial stuff in.

It's such a soul-destroying place to go to now.


Diss, lol
Are you laughing at the name or do you actually live there? :rolleyes2


I am from West Anglia.
Do you mean the west of East Anglia? Or are you just trying to be funny? :)

Nice. I've only been through the train station on my way to Yorkshire to see my brother. I've never actually visitied the city.

Heh, so which one is it? :D

[blim]

nearly, i live in leicestershire although im originally a teesider. Oh and Peterborough is a dump (no offence zooander but it is although i've had many good nights at The Fiddlers Elbow in the past)

[DM_Melkhar]

Well there's almost half a dozen. Maybe an eastern meet up could take place in the future at some point. Not saying just yet! At some point though.

[blim]

As long as its not in Peterborough

I'm probably the last person to argue the point. I think Peterborough is a crag-hole if ever i saw one. There are more chaves, goths, crack heads and smelly wierdoes than you can shake an ASBO at. Still, it has it's "OK" bits, and it can offer you a good night out if you're in the right company and know where to go. =)

[Zeldy]

Pfft. You should all move to the Northwest.
Thats where its cool.

I'm...actually quite a gothic person myself. I'm not one of those with such a depressive personality though. You may find it strange, but I'm a christian as well. Can you be goth and christian? Oh yes. They don't have to be devil worshippers as many people think. I'm what you might call a renaissance kind of goth. I like Edwardian/Georgian clothing. Let's say I'm open-minded about a lot of things.

I do despise chavs though, purely because all of those that I've met have been complete..............err I can't think of a polite word :eep:. I also hate R&B, hiphop and especially rap. Other people like it, I understand, but in my own opinion it's beyond bad. I like heavy metal (as long as it's not satanic), some of the old 80s pop, and easy-listening music.

Norwich has quite a good number of goths and chavs too. I'm not a part of any large group though. I'm really just myself. I used to hang around with a group of goths when I was at college, and the goth/chav wars were easily the most pathetic things I've seen in my life so far. The chavs tend to use footballs, cups of water and bad insults that actually sound quite funny, and the goths tend to hurl insults by using complex language that most chavs didn't seem to understand. But from what you say, Peterborough doesn't sound too appealing.

I use to live in Ipswich, but I live in Nottz. YH G.
