The reason for that is when they're mentioning parts of the country on TV. They break it up into bits like the south-west, south-east, Home Counties, Midlands, north-east, north-west and Scotland. So people assume we're the same size as the other parts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ah-dee Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Not so much a c**t as an idiot. Got train from Aberdeen to Glasgow last night.As we approached Queen St a bloke ( London accent ) came up and asked for directions to Central and was it walkable. Explained yes and said I would direct him as I was going that way. On route we chatted and he explained he was just up in Glasgow and Edinburgh for a couple of days work and as was free that day had jumped on a train to Aberdeen as he wanted to see the city of Aberdeen. Only when on train did he find out it was a 2 and 3/4 hour journey. He hadn't thought Scotland that big and assumed he would only be about an hour.He managed about an hour in Aberdeen before it got dark and he had to come back It took massive willpower not to laugh in his face. Who gets on a train not knowing how far and how long the journey is off topic here but when i worked for npower my laptop packed in. called head office in england and was told to "just nip it into the glasgow office". i live in forfar. girl was genuinely surprised when i explained the length of that journey. she believed everywhere in Scotland was just beside glasgow and Edinburgh. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who gets on a train not knowing how far and how long the journey is Mate of mine in Wales was heading to Aberdeen with his daughter to join a cruise ship, thought they were almost there when they passed Gretna. Would have missed it by half a day if it hadn't been delayed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they're both up in the top right corner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know why I've bothered posting this tbh. P.S. Direct flight from Manchester to Kirkwall and the ferry to Scrabster might be better if the times match. Depends if their from North or South Wales as well. Edited November 20, 2018 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coprolite Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Got to love a good old jocko chip on the shoulder. Most folk's geography is shite. These same people probably think Norwich to Ipswick is a 20 minute walk. I certainly have no real idea how far it may be from sheffield to leeds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ipswick , where people have carrots for relatives , a 20 min walk from Norritch centre , Ipswitch on the other hand isn’t anywhere ... and of course what would a fossil Jobby know anyway ....
