Quoted from BobbyCummingsTackle


I got on an internal flight in the US, when I lived there, probably going from Philadelphia to Chicago. One of the stewards was English and we had a chat about where you live and then when we got on to where he was from....Skeggy.


Got chatting to an English ex-pat in a flag shop(!) in Sonoma, California, about 30 years ago. Turns out he was from Skeggy and said he opened the first fish and chip place in California several years before.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Does anyone remember 20 years ago or so you could by a kind of car sticker thing that had a pen attached to it from souvenir shops usually at seaside resorts?

The sticker was essentially a small plastic card mini shirt with a suction cup to fix it to a window. They were very generic like "Manchester C, Manchester U, Sheffield W etc, the Town one just said "Grimsby", the pen was just white with Grimsby written in black on the side, really basic and tacky.

I bought one of these from Cornwall, must have been 1999 or 2000?


anyone remember a similar suction cup thing, which had a waving hand and you stuck it in your car's rear window?

I've seen a GTFC painted pebble in Ao Nang in Thailand. Though in all fairness, he had all 92 (before Fenty of course) PL and EFL clubs and plenty of others.

I remember those, my neighbour had one on his yellow Capri, he also had those rear window louvres and stick on sun visor with GTFC on, I thought it was the dogs as a kid in the 70s.

Quoted from LH


Me and my dad were in the queue at the till at Walmart in Dallas in 2004. I was wearing my Euro 2004 England home shirt and the man in front of us turned round and asked us if we were Australian cause we said mate a lot.


Most Americans seem incapable of distinguishing the English and Australian accent. I was in Santa Barbara once and was asked what part of Australia I was from. I said I wasn't Australian and this woman said - there I told you he was South African.

This doesn’t really count I know, but when on holiday in Australia I was on a tourist tour bus in Melbourne and I saw a guy walking on the street wearing a town shirt. Sad I know but I thought it was amazing at the time.
