The blonde comes back from a day's work driving and announces 'I've just found a bigger shit hole than Birmingham' (her least favourite place)
Where's that? I ask.
'Bloody Gosport, what a dump!'
Charming!

Nice kick-presses, Giles! I would kill for just one of those. It sure would make my belt-making easier.

I lived in Birmingham for 21 years, I'd take Gosport over it any day.  Yes it is massively challenged, yes it is a northern town misplaced in the south, yes it is mostly scuzzy, but it has the sea and the navy (which I like looking at), it has a massive amount of history and it is mostly an honest little shit hole….

I totally get that, coastal towns always have at least a modicum of appeal. Even Plymouth.

Amazon have a temporary job as a TV host.

Ideally candidates should be tall, have an extensive knowledge of progressive rock, and be required to wear pre-washed denim. I think that the last requirement will rule out most people here.

I'm more put off by the prog rock requirement…
