“Carlisle is sick fanfiction” 😯
Favourite has to be Worcester though, whatever that means.
The ‘Lewes is racist’ probably comes from a Sunday Times Magazine article by David James Smith, which claimed that the town is a hotbed of racism because it has four BNP members. FOUR. Not exactly Kristallnacht, is it.
Bonfire night in Lewes may not help, exactly.
Is Ireland only boring inasmuch as it’s British? 🙂
In fairness, I should add that there was a little more evidence – all anecdotal – but it still seemed a strange claim given Lewes’s high quota of North London bien pensants. They don’t call it ‘Islington-on-the-Downs’ for nothing.

I’d like to think Reading is fundamental. But I suspect its the verb to read. However, I’m down with that.
The Earl of Stafford, Thomas Wentworth, was a major figure in the run to the English Civil War. He was a supporter of Charles and Lord Deputy of Ireland. Most famously, Charles signed his death warrant in an attempt to appease parliament after they failed to impeach Stafford. Therefore, Stafford is a man.
