With Voodoo Scrounge as the latest addition to the boards Brittish and UK based posters, I think it'd be fun to let everyone know where in the UK you are.
I'll go first. I Live in Gillingham, Kent and I'll possibly be living in Dartford soon. It may of been Mick and Keith land, but I'm not sure If I like it there. It's very odd. There seems to be a Leauge Of Gentlemen thing going on. Are You Local? |

I'm from south-east London, also early Stones territory. You're right Honky Tonk Man, Dartford is bizzare!

Before I was kicked out, I was living in Welling with my girlfreind. It's not quite south-East London, but at least the buses were red.
I think I'll be okay in Dartford, It just seems to be one of those places where everyone knows each others business. All these places like Dartford and Gravesend seem to be in they're own unique world. Being in Gillingham I may be out in the sticks, but at least it's part of something bigger. Medway.

Ah Welling, that's just down the road from me in Eltham. That's exactly what I was thinking about Dartford, although I don't know it well. Canterbury is another place in that general area that seems to be in it's own world. Some people like that sort of thing I suppose. |

I live in a place called Tooting in the South West of London.
Its great. A 15 minute ride into town for work and play. Very quiet area. You may remember a TV programme with Robert Lyndsay called "Citizen Smith". Well that was set in Tooting. It has also spawned some other well known people.
Dizzie Rascal (Rapper)
Jimmy White (Snooker player)
Frank Bruno (Boxer)
Benjamin Disraeli (Prime Minister) |

...POWER TO THE PEOPLE !
Well i don't often post here but always look, i come from Faringdon in Oxfordshire, Jagger sometimes plays here, ok it's not Mick but his brothers combo - they're rather good.
Mick Jerry and the kids once popped into the newsagents in nearby Abingdon for sweets and magazines - it made the local paper and i believe CCTV tape still exists of the famous event.
A member of Jethro Tull apparently lived 2 doors away from me and Beatles producer George Martin lives 3 miles away - Our biggest Star who made the BIG time is Pam Ayres !! BEAT THAT ! |

Other famous people from or living in Tooting

I do not live in the UK but I do think English guys are so sexy,
handsome and romantic. And your accents are absolutely
wonderful to listen to! I think UK guys could teach a thing or two
to US guys about the ladies, am I right?! |

Well Im sure we could give it a go!
I dont know if its just me, nut I find that a lot of American women love the british accent. Especially the London Cockney accent. |

I lived in Balham for over a year and moved out about 8 months ago. The Bedford was a good boozer - complete with its 4 species of 'roaches! As in cock!
Prefer living in the North of England tho - I'm just north of Leeds right now - as in "get yer Leeds lungs out" - yes!
Pubs are better 'OOp North!
Dizzie Rascal is from east Deptford not Tooting... |

Yeah I know it. I've got to say, you have done well to get banned from there! You're next mission should be to try and get banned from the Weatherspoons next door or the The Old Post Office round the corner. This is no mean feat!

I'm banned from The Crown because I apparently dropped a drink and squared up to a woman called Jan. (The Land Lady)
I tried again a few months later and after been greeted with "Oi, Fuck Off, Your Barred", some skinhead later presented me with a hand written note. It read... NO GAY BOYS ALLOWED IN THIS PUB. Hilarious, considering I was with my girlfriend.
I've drunk in the Old Post Office a couple of times. A fight broke out in there once and I'd never seen anything like it in my life! There were about 20 boozers brawling with each other.
The only pub I feel safe in is The Rising Sun. Mind you, next time I’m in there I'll probably get glassed!

Whenever you guys get away from Old Home Week in the UK
which I fine absolutel fascinating anyway, tell me what do UK
men think of the American Ladies?
I still think UK men are charming, and very sensual. Yes indeed.
But it seems you are trying to compare neighborhoods, and cultures, and people which I think is great, give me insight into
what kinds of towns you are familiar with. Thanks. |

Well Hells
I went to America in 1996 when I was 12. So I cant say that I paid too much attention to the ladies then. I was more excited by the prospect of Universal studios and Disney land.
However, since then I have matured and although I am still fascinated by Disney, I do pay more attention to the ladies. And I think they are great. Fantastic sense of humour and great conversation.
Oh and Dizzie Rascal wasnt from Tooting. He was from Detford. However, he was stabbed in Tooting by a member of the so solid crew. But Tooting isnt really like that!

American women are okay in my book. Especially those from the North Beach area of Sanfransico. |

I do like the idea of an american accent waking me up in the morning. Might ask the missus to try it! |

Unbelievably bizarre, frustrating as hell, endlessly captivating and often beyond sexy.
Sometimes all at the same time...
