Erm.... I think he's playing in the USA rather than for the USA.

I was hoping that once they were off this bleeding continent I wouldn't have to tolerate that sh*t anymore. But no, there is some program on ITV (ITV has seriously gone downhill in recent years - now it is nothing but lowest common denominator television - with all that ITV Play and reality TV nonsense) about them. Please just go away you annoying people!

[Cort Haus]

I knew that life was grim south of the river, PH, but I didn't know that you were forced to watch ITV.

[Provost Harrison]

There is nothing grim about south of the river, northern monkey

[Cort Haus]

Except Bermondsey, Deptford, and most of the Old Kent Road.

[Provost Harrison]

And Dagenham, Edmonton and Hackney

[Cort Haus]

Dagenham is East, and so is Hackney really, so we don't claim them. Edmonton I will give you, but it is Tottenham country therefore best avoided except for a quick dash to Ikea.

[Provost Harrison]

They may be East, but they are still on the other side of the river. You don't avoid them that easily...in the same way I can't disown Croydon

Or New Cross Gate...

[Provost Harrison]

A delightful area, I am sure

[MOBIUS]

Apparently it has greatly improved in the last few years. Can't think why?

[Provost Harrison]

Did you have a wardrobe of stab vests when you lived there?

[MOBIUS]

I found it perfectly safe.
