I grew up in Blythe Bridge, outside Stoke. Shall we form a Potters supporters club?

claireg3

I'd buy some!! I lived in Stoke for 3 years when I was doing my training and I have to admit I liked it there. Also have to admit that Australia is also far better (apart from the significant lack of oatcakes that is.

"STOKE OATCAKES"

Oh, let me chomp you,

Pimply pat of my desire.

Bendy as a besom broom,

Spongy as a rubber room,

squelchy belchy filling

Of hot cheese spilling

Down me jaws.

(Er...will you be wanting yours?)

Pardon me while I wipe me nose,

Then push it out of place,

Making room on me face

For another mouth,

To shout while I'm chewing:

"DUCK ITS WORTH QUEUING -

FOR STOKE OATCAKES!"

claireg3

Fantastic!!

Lived in the nurses home at the city general for 3 years. Have you noticed how stokies don't say to? eg "Goin Castle" loosely means that they will be going to Newcastle-under-Lyme.

I'm still thinking about oatcakes though.

Claire

Down in London though, stoke on trent means a completely different thing :scared:
