My home town

[neph93]

@Giles that may be first article I’ve read in the Torygraph since it was only available in paper form.

Made me a little sad. I know we rag on the place here, but I never find it anything other than charming, in a rundown, definitively English sort of way. Outside of IH, everyone I’ve ever met in Gosport has been smiling and friendly. Even in The Fox!

I was chatting to a mate about it earlier, in fact the mate who send me the article. We agreed that Gosport is a honest little town, the concept of keeping up with the Jones is an unknown concept it has no pretensions and just about everyone is friendly. I'll take this over aspirational Ponceyvilles every day of the week.....

Next village up the coast - "nice" place that people round here dream of retiring to

The new relaxed straight cut for this guy

Not Gosport, but Alex lives in London, so I'll take it.

It took four policemen to hold up this slightly inebriated Jock.....(there are actually four of them)....

Luckily, I was not seen holding a phone, otherwise I'd likely now have 10 slugs of lead keeping me company....

@goosehd too much time on your hands?

@Tago-Mago idle hands are the devil’s workshop…

I'm a boy, so gentically I will big mechanical things. Diggers, dumpers, planes and ships, even (well especially) warships... So I am delighted that the new Inspiration Class of frigates will be based here (well, Portsmouth, but we'll get a better view of them from Gosport).....
