No.....I lived in Yorkshire for a year or so....one of my son's is a Yorkshire man by birth:thumbup:

Spent the last 20 or so years in Derbyshire but brought up and educated in Oxford.

Derbyshire - that was it - of course.

I wasn't educated in Oxford, but it seems that all my parent's friends were. At one point, it was home from home and everyone they knew had attended a college there - but I haven't been back since the early 90s. My grandfather had a seat in Christchurch Cathedral which my mother once pointed out when we were up there with friends. I wanted to take my daughters to see it last year - on the basis it might be some sort of family history but we didn't get around to it! There was a programme on the cathedral on ABC the other day which reminded me.

I wanted to go to Oxford myself but peaked too soon and by the time Higher Education came along I'd long lost interest and moved on. No regrets though. And I was as thick as sh*t!:p.

Oxford, love of real ale, belligerent attitude towards others, dislike of anything that's not British ... did Colin Dexter base Inspector Morse on you?

:rofl:

I agree totally and we seen it first hand our selves last June but it really slowed down because they were retraining staff. we got our visa grant letter in August instead.

Good isn't it. A tribute to young Suzy. Also in your honour I am going to take some extra English lessons so I can write in a correct manner, maybe then people will not twist my posts and make me out to be some kind of uncaring arse. Thankfully the people that have actually met me from BE know that is far from the truth.

Re: Why the stress in every single thread?
 

No....although I have some Smith's music

I am more Little Feat, Led Zep, Who, Chris Rea etc.

I am going through a revitalised Small Faces phase at the moment:thumbup:

Re: Why the stress in every single thread?
 

lol. Hutch - not all Oxford graduates love real ale. Many love a good beer though. Not all Oxford graduates, or their friends and family dislike everything that is not British...maybe G is just one of some. In fact many are quite well-rounded, if yes, somewhat conservative. But so am I - but I like living in Australia. Others are desperate to shake the ivory tower image or rather, am embarassed by it. But they'd be foolish to make a big thing of it.

G said he was educated in Oxford, he might have, for example, gone to the boys school in Abingdon and then gone to Oxford Brookes..or whatever it was then! I am not going to put pressure on him to show his hand. It's his business!

..my mother was once in an Inspector Morse episode...
