nicest bloke from the south east

Bro didnt get appreciated for his existences irony.
I was being served by a barista at a Caffè Nero and when I told the bloke my surname was Cornwall and that I was from Kent, he informed me that his surname was Kent, and he was from Cornwall.
I pretended not to care. Total "psych!!"
I still think about it to this day; I wonder if he does.
All it took for me not to be mad at Cornwall from Kent
Similar but not the same - I live with my partner, just the two of us. We had next door neighbours (we share a wall) move in with the same first names and same initial (not same last names).
They didn't even blink, I thought we should be on some kind of documentary.
As in, the both of you had the same first name as them? That's pretty interesting on its own!
I had two neighbours across the street of which one was named Tom and the other Jerry, so obviously I called them Tom & Jerry. Sadly they've both moved out again already...
How about the Jim Twins?
The Four Christs does sound interesting.
Went on vacation in England last February. It was insane culture shock. Like, nobody smiles there. No one was friendly unless they had to be. I tried to strike up a conversation with a waiter after paying one night and by the time i looked up from the machine they had walked away and i was talking to myself...
You must have gone to London. We smiley up in Manchester.
Just be careful it could be a friendly smile or I’m smiling cause I’m about to stab you.
In my experince the smiling is because: "I have no fucking clue what anyone is saying so I'll just smile unobtrusively."
Now there was this Jamacain bakery in Moss Side that I like to visit in the late 90's. Great bread and lots of smiles but the atmosphere was always a bit tense.
Fucking moss side in the 90’s intense. Yeah I’ll bet.
It still has a reputation now but I’ve never had any issues there.
No one gets mugged in moss side.
Do go on...
"In England" is a bit vague if you want to describe that cultural phenomenon.
It does vary wildly across the country. I'm going to guess you were mainly in the South.
Huh, i started in the south now that you mention it, i worked my way north over time but by the time i got there I had pretty much stopped trying... Damn, I'm sorry to any northern British people reading my comment...
Huh, i started in the south now that you mention it
I could tell.
Damn, I’m sorry to any northern British people reading my comment…
To be fair, some parts of the North can be like the Slaughtered Lamb in American Werewolf in London. Then elsewhere, you have trouble shutting us up and helping - see this. A good rule of thumb is if there was a large Irish immigration into the area, you are probably going to find people are a lot friendlier (even in London).
South isn't that bad, outside the M25.
Anyone remember that 'tier' chapter during covid when suddenly everyone in Cornwall temporarily became massively rude and bigoted? Really brought out the worst in them.
correction: you sehved a blauk whose suhname was cohnwall and he was from kent. You tauld him yew suhname was kent and that yerw weh from cohnwall, and he di'ent caih, loik noh' ah all.
This comment deserves better
people from Cornwall sound closer to the "pirate" accent.
You forgot to take your seizure medication again, huh?
Hyup he did, Hoss...
