sfc1976 Posted 10 May, 2012 Share Posted 10 May, 2012 Satellite dishes outside every flat on a tower block Desolate,flat open spaces surrounded by estates High ITV viewing figures Newsagents with very little actual stock, and single cans of beer for sale that have passed or close to sell by dates Constituencies where Labour have an absolute majority Very pale, blotchy skin Women with their hair pulled back hard. Sometimes called a 'Croydon face lift' Bars where the wine list is Blossom Hill red and white only Fried chicken shops with bizarre names trying to make an American connection. Seen in SE London, 'Dallas Chicken, the taste of the open range'. WTF? 'Western Union' money transfer shops.
