How many Brits are here?

[dragonaxe]

I'll put the kettle on shall I? Not British but resident.

Oh, I say!! I don't think that's cricket. This is a Brits only posting!!! (stomps off in a typical pommy huff) lol

Don't suppose you could whip up a nice latte instead of tea could you?
Love the shoes!

That's as good as!!

One sugar please!

 

[dragonaxe]

it's a little emporium, vintage and new pretties, like a bomb's gone off in a boudoir is how i like to describe it. Although sadly, business isn't going great, so it might be back to the drawing board, not meaning to whinge or anything, but the trade has been appalling where i live for the last year, due to the recession and all. Still onward and upward.

Actually i doubt Ms Payne was every drunk in charge, probably too busy (and sensible) coining in the cash and the luncheon vouchers to have time for a snifter or two!!

You can't be that far away from then, in the sunny garden of England?

I lived there for thirteen years.

That's terrible!!! I hate the big chains! and will always support the small stores whenever I can! I would say "don't give up" but sometimes you just have to do the sensible thing.

I'm in Margate, where were you?

 

[Miss sofia]

In Sevenoaks, although i'm glad i got away when i did, sadly it's a very different place now, like so many.

Margate is nice, i like a bit of seaside, faded grandeur.

Actually we have been hanging on in there for a while now, sadly people don't seem to have a lot of spare cash for things that aren't necessities it seems and i live in a town that is dependent on the tourists flashing the wonga. So it's not good, but chin up and all that.

By the way, i saw those shoes first!! I have been coveting those for eons.

hands off babe!! if they're size 9's I might have them for myself!! HAHA

Hmm Margate is VERY faded grandeur at the moment!
I'm guessing here, but I reckon you're in Lewes

 

[Miss sofia]

Actually i'm in Rye. But you were close-ish.

Actually i was in Margate a while ago for a party and was rather amazed to see a woman in her pyjamas and slippers buying fish and chips in the queue in front of me! I thought that kind of thing only happened in Tesco's lol. Or Rye

 

[dragonaxe]

Oh God!!! The pyjamas thing! don't get me started!!! It seems to be the rage over here! Mind you, the only time they get out of bed at all, is to go to get their benefit money!!!

I don't know Rye. Is it as bad as Hastings yet?

 

[Miss sofia]

It's a bit more sedate here in Rye really, there is always a rogue element wherever you live, but thankfully it's pretty small here. I think i get the majority of abuse from the tourists outside my shop for my choice of outfits haha. It's quite arty in Rye, lots of country types too, so it's either paint spattered pyjamas or a Barbour and wellies over the top of them!

Actually i was reading that Hastings is one of the most deprived areas in England now. The old town is nice tho', but the rest is pretty shabby i have to agree.

 

[Edward]

I'm not British, but I live there.

Dragonaxe,kind of always have been,walking around B,ham city centre in a deerstalker when I was 16 got me a few strange looks,

I'm not surprised - a deerstalker in town! For shame!

[Miss sofia]

Or John McCririck, but lets not go down that road, i've just had lunch!

 

[Dave E]

Good afternoon, sirs and madam. Add one more to the Brit list

 

[Cobden]

Another Brit here - in fact, another Sussexian (the Channel Counties seem to have something of an unusual large presence)

 

[dragonaxe]

No, the less said about the erstwhile McCririck the better. His poor wife!! :eusa_doh:

Hi Dave, nice to have you (not in the biblical sense of course, )
sorry, I'm in a funny mood today

 

[Miss sofia]

It must be my round now, or kettle on....

Welcome Dave E, this is a good thread as hopefully i will get a chance to say 'hi' to people i don't usually come into contact with on here, as i mainly post in the Powder Room, or have a random nosey about.

 

[Dav]
