Title: Westcountry la la la Post by: Amir on Friday, October 7, 2005, 19:17:15 I've numerous arguments about this recently. If you look at it logically, we're not, but then if we're not what are we, and where does the boundary lie?
Although I've lived around here most of my life, and my surname is definately local :shock: I was born in the midlands and my parents are from Bristol and London, so maybe I'm not the best judge. What say you? Title: Westcountry la la la Post by: Amir on Friday, October 7, 2005, 19:20:38 Piece of shit, there was supposed to be another option. I'm going for Westcountry anyway :D

Title: Westcountry la la la Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Friday, October 7, 2005, 19:32:45 Swindon's not really anywhere is it? It's right on the edge of the West country, right on the edge of the South Midlands and right on the edge of the Thames Valley.
It's everywhere and nowhere. Wierd. I still think of it as West country though. Title: Westcountry la la la Post by: Reg Smeeton on Friday, October 7, 2005, 19:37:54 Quote from: "OOH!

It's everywhere and nowhere. Wierd. I still think of it as West country though. We're everywhere and no-where baby, That's where we're at, Going down a bumpy hillside, In our hippy hat. Flying across the country, And getting fat, Saying everything is groovy, When our tyres are flat, And it's............. :boring: Title: Westcountry la la la Post by: Leggett on Friday, October 7, 2005, 19:38:31 HIGH-HO SILVER LINING

Title: Westcountry la la la Post by: Sussex on Friday, October 7, 2005, 19:41:49 I can't vote as there isn't a 'nowhere' option.
Born in Bath, Father from Malmesbury, Mother from Bromley. Lived in Malmesbury and Chippenham 'til 20, then the next 12 years in the South East. I can't see myself ever moving back. I only go there for the football and to see my Dad. Title: Westcountry la la la Post by: sonicyouth on Friday, October 7, 2005, 19:41:51 we're unique 8)

We are officially "Regional Overlap Area" We even got coverage on Meridian while I was down in Brighton.. :roll: Title: Westcountry la la la Post by: reeves4england on Saturday, October 8, 2005, 09:09:39 No complaints about that. The more publicity we get the better.
Mind you, given our current position maybe no news would be better! Title: Westcountry la la la Post by: Rich Pullen on Saturday, October 8, 2005, 09:32:40 Quote from: "sade" I'm am 45 mins away from swindon and 45 mins away from bristol so its definately west county. Likewise as I'm Westbury too. I don't get it... We've always been regarded the small team from the westcountry until quite recently... I certainly know a few Bristol City fans who refuse to acknowledge Swindon as a Westcountry team... Some call us "Thames Valley" Anywho as far as I'm concerned Wiltshire is in the Westcountry... Swindon is in Wiltshire... Therefore.... :wink: Title: Westcountry la la la Post by: Bob's Orange on Saturday, October 8, 2005, 09:41:41 Born in PMH in 1979, lived in the following places;

I remember nothing about Perrot's Brook apart from the fact we had a massive house there. My dad fell off a ladder painting it one day! :o Title: Westcountry la la la Post by: Reg Smeeton on Saturday, October 8, 2005, 10:52:17 Bijou Cotswold place.....unfortunately, with a lot of these villages, the incoming of monied outsider, spells the end for traditional aspects of village life....pub, cricket team, church.......interbreeding..that sort of thing.

Title: Westcountry la la la Post by: mattboyslim on Monday, October 10, 2005, 12:08:49 IMO Old Swindon people are West Country, railwaymen etc, but the influx of london overspill following WWII gave many people the impression we were South East (ie to many Mockneys), I was born in Swindon and lived in Wroughton and then Old Town until i went to uni in Birmingham, now I'm back home and beginning the search for a career job.
Title: Westcountry la la la Post by: fatbury on Monday, October 10, 2005, 12:15:47 Lived in Wallington
Streatham Brixton Thornton Heath Sutton and Highworth Title: Westcountry la la la Post by: Barnard on Monday, October 10, 2005, 17:07:34 Swindon and Wiltshire lie within John Prescotts South West Region for regional government purposes, along with Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Somerset, Gloucestershire, and BANES.
I guess this makes it the Westcountry. This could cause me a problem as I don't really like cider. Title: Westcountry la la la Post by: oxford_fan on Tuesday, October 11, 2005, 11:39:22 Fuck off is Oxford South Midlands. Don't want to be lumped with that Brummie scum.

Title: Westcountry la la la Post by: Spencer_White on Tuesday, October 11, 2005, 16:38:21 Your Firm was called the South Midlands Hit Squad.
Besides you are much more so scum than Birmingham. Title: Westcountry la la la Post by: Reg Smeeton on Tuesday, October 11, 2005, 16:56:34 When you leave London you see signs for Hatfield and the North.....(used to be a band by the name)....which means anything north of Hatfield is in the North, Scumsville is north of Hatfield ergo isn't even the midlands....in fact making scummers norvern bastards.
Title: Westcountry la la la Post by: Spencer_White on Tuesday, October 11, 2005, 16:59:58 I thought they were norvern bastards cos they all beat their wives?
