Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

Are you proud of where you come from?

Just a general question here, don't really know why im asking it :redface:

I'm proud of where I come from but my home-town is basically a sh*t-hole The highest paid job is working at the steelworkers or hospital and these will close it :frown:

. It's full of chavs and mainly council estates, in fact there is show on tonight in my hometown called Skint on Channel 4 :P

Can't want to leave but proud of where I come from :smile:

Realised this is the wrong place could an admin move this to the right place please sorry.

I'm from Istanbul, don't like it here but not ashamed of it either. Pride would be an overstatement.
Don't really care anymore either since I'll be moving to Newcastle in September. :awesome:

It's not where you come from it's where you're going that matters.

A famous saying from whom I can't attribute

So true hope my future isn't in Scunthorpe but it will always be a part of me.

I'm one of the small percentage who is wanting out of this place, no idea how people can actually enjoy living that lifestyle to be honest. :confused:

Yorkshire: Definitely.

Us Yorkshire folk are always reet proud of where we come from. :biggrin:

Although its sort of mixed for Guiseley (my hometown), it used to be run down and chav infested, but over the past couple of years its improved quite a bit.

Oh, and I'll always be proud to be from Leeds (home city) :smile:

I love my town even though there's nothing to do! :nooo:

You just go to a shop and come back from it :mmm:

In summer we have something to do as we have ice cream event :h:

But people become like animals since a helicopter drops down lots of tokens for free ice cream and there's a mass pile of people trying to catch them :K:

I'm from Stoke-on-Trent and it's pretty dire. Full of chavs and people who are content with a mediocre life. I'm planning to up sticks and move to Edinburgh the first chance I get as my fiancé is from there originally and it's just an amazing place.

Yeah, I am proud of coming from Manchester. Its a decent city and more importantly, the people are the best in the country.

My home suburb? Yes - it's leafy, safe and has some really lovely people and some great amenities right on the doorstep. There are some great views of beautiful rural North Yorkshire from here, too. :yep:

My home town (Middlesbrough)? Partly. It's ugly and (judging from reports, anyway) rough in many places, but it's got some pleasant green spaces, some nice down-to-earth people and a decent variety of stuff to do for a town of its size. It's definitely not as pretty and cosmopolitan as, say, nearby Newcastle and York, though.

Channel 4 hasn't embarrassed your home town as much as it has embarrassed mine. Just do a Google search for something like 'channel 4 middlesbrough 2007' if you don't know what I'm talking about. :tongue:
