"Away in a manger no crib for a bed, the little lord Jesus, sat up and he said..... We 'ate Derby an we 'ate Derby. We 'ate Derby an we 'ate Derby. Sheep sheep sheep shaggers! Baaaaaaaaaa!" ...and yes most of Leicestershire is utterly shit....and especially Leicester and Loughborough....Melton Mobray, and the surrounding villages are nice enough though.
Respond
Yup, leicester is pretty damn dull. Though not as dull as nearby Hinckley. People there go to leicester for a thrill. I went to Bosworth field as a kid. It's pretty forgettable, even for a field.
Respond
It's like the Nakhon Nowhere of the UK.
Respond
^I was thinking of a comparison with Petchabun, but Petchabun's much nicer.
Respond
Maybe the Roi-et of the UK? But with more than one McDonalds
Respond

Respond
Didn't stay for lunch I'm afraid! The accent was what got me I think ..... "Lieeestoh! Innit ...." [image: http://www.ajarnforum.net/vb/images/smilies/grin.gif]

No wonder why Smeg enjoys it there so much.

My Dad was born there, although he has been a proper Guern for more than thirty years now. We passed through Leicester whilst on a summer holiday in England and that's the nearest we ever came to seeing my Dad's roots.

I used to know a bird from Loughbrough- beautiful. She had the biggest knickers in the world though; proper pension keks. Whenever I think of her an image of supergran - with nice tits and a fit body - comes to mind. Bizarre. I'm all in favour of any county which has places with names like Ashby-De-La-Zouch.

Born in Leicester no less... [image: http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/6173/elainedianeklimaszewskidp4.jpg] I would too, but not with yours. [image: http://www.ajarnforum.net/vb/images/smilies/wink.gif]

I like it when Yanks say 'is this the way to lie-ses-ter square?' but then again that's a long way from Leicester. Asian majority there now, innit, or getting close?
Respond
Biggest Diwali celebrations outside of India.
Respond
says here the ethnic minority will be a majority in 2012, the first UK city to do so. BBC - Leicester - Asian Life - A history of Leicester (http://www.bbc.co.uk/leicester/content/articles/2005/10/10/al_leicester_backgrounder_feature.shtml)
