Are you counting "provinciality" as being from the provinces?
or do are you talking about an attitude rather than a location? cos, y'know, you're from Cheshire and you don't get more provincial than that.

firstly
i am from yorkshire, then buckinghamshire, then cheshire, then london. where i have been for 15 years. so THERE.

secondly... yes, it's all about the attitude and outlook.

I was in London for 12 years and have been in Scotland for over 5.
I'm no more a londoner or a scot than you are a londoner.

OK, Yorkshire then. That's close to being as provincial but Cheshire does win.

Which part of the attitude is it you have a problem with?
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Mon 11 Jul 2011, 15:53, Reply)

the lack of ability or desire
to see any sort of life beyond the little walls of the little village that you grew up in. that sort of thing. if you can walk to the houses where your parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins and great great grandparents (who were probably the same person) grew up in within 5 mins of your own pad, you're a prov.

Does having 4 generations of your (maternal) family and 2 paternal from one city count.
Though my paternal grandparents are punjabi.

What a ridiculous thing to dislike about someone.

no it isn't
if they have travelled, lived elsewhere, made a life for themselves, and then chosen to come back, that's cool. my brother did exactly that.

but if they have only ever stayed in the same place their entire life long within spitting distance of the family genepool.... that is weird.

Good to know that your flounce hasn't tempered your talent for crass generalisation
My Uncle has lived his entire life in Halifax. He likes it there, so does his family, he has a lot of friends there. He was a successful banker, gave it up and started an enormously successful business as a builder. He's travelled the world, built and redecorated two houses and is always looking to challenge himself.

But he's always lived in Halifax. So, according to you, he's a spod.

Anyway, I find this notion of major industrial nations being provinces to their largest cities rather cynical.

(btw I do have ambitions to move elsewhere , but I wouldn't deliberately look too far, I'd stay within the same region.

I'm not sure I could ever describe any cock as "nice"
As organs go they are pretty ugly even on the most attractive male.

Being born in 1980
Mine comes from the awkward transitional stage between genres. Combining early experiments in eighties, with the last gasps of rawness from the seventies it sadly ends up with the worst from both worlds 3/10

It's the younger kids I feel sorry for
Imagine having a New Romantic cock. All make-up and shoulder pads. Or even worse, a hairy, Mancunian Brit-pop cock.

At least we've still got a bit of rock'n'roll in there.

I would suggest that
"the ability to use it" is the part for questioning if any... I can use mine pretty well for pissing but I am still a shit shag.
