Pulis and Redknap as neighbours confirm the path

Point well made. How can they list places like York, Chipping Norton or London in a list of the crap towns.

Whilst the three you mention maybe OK to visit, unless you are a wealthy home owner I can imagine they are also shitholes if you are there in bedsitland and on minimum wage.
This could be said of anywhere of course, but at least in Stafford the extreme wealth isn't always on show and rammed down your throat.
Stoke is just crap.
( and yes of course there are some lovely people there bit its still crap , but so is Smethwick, Hull, West Bromwich, Stocton and Runcorn

It is a possibly little known fact that the 'Chipping' element of Chipping Norton refers to it being a market, and is cognate with both 'cheap' and 'shop'.
It is also possibly little known that Runcorn was, like Stafford, founded by Æthelflæd.
It is a well known fact that i ought to get out more.

If you live in a bedsit and are content to live on minimum wage then you are evidently either happy with your lot or have no aspirations to make a success of your life.
Indeed if you were hard up there would be more opportunity to better your lot in places like York. It wouldn't exactly take much capital to set up a venture doing historic tours, boat trips or stickleway tours.
When I walk down The Bishops Avenue do I feel resentment ? No I think that one day I would like to live there.

We have made some previous attempts at forming an itinerary for a sort of Snickelway Tour of Stafford - http://www.staffordforum.com/xf/index.php?threads/alternative-town-tour.7795/ & http://www.staffordforum.com/xf/index.php?threads/an-alternative-sightseeing-guide-to-stafford.7800/ .

You'll need to dredge the Sow first if you're going to offer that kind of service round here.

Sorry
Not up to speed on Yorkshire euphemisms at the min
How odd, on another thread you implied knowledge of Hornsey. I guess I therefore assumed you would know the area around Hornsey.
For your future reference.
