Clarkson rubbishes Salford

[SpikeyBush]

Read the hullabaloo today about Jeremy Clarkson's opinion of the BBC moving to Salford, and Stuart Hall's response. Let's put things in perspective here. Clarkson is not one of those 'Southern Poofs' who has previously been giving out about this proposed move. He is a Yorkshire Lad from Doncaster. A Tyke. And that is the root cause of his unease. You'd never get a Tyke t'tek easy t'west o'Pennines and vice versa.

BTW I know Salford well and his description was spot on. It is a sh1t hole.

Is it still like LS Lowry showed it? All flat caps, whippets, and dripping sarnies?

I liked Clarkson's comment 'Ferrari's are made by craftsmen in Italy, Lotus are made by women in hairnets in Norfolk'

Oh yes just like LS Lowry showed it seriously though I met a lady from Colchester don't think she had ever left Essex who seriously believed the North of England was as portrayed in Coronation St 30 odd years ago.

Your missing nothing stay where you are and leave us alone

mdoo98 would you know if there was a pub and some flats on peru street in the late eighties
had a drink with a bird who lived in the flats near a pub

I like Clarkson..Speaks his mind and I can't understand why people get upset about his comments..Says what he thinks and most of of it is just banter,some folks need to grow a pair.
Salford is a dump, like many places around the UK..He constantly has a dig at the West Midlands as well,especially Birmingham and the strange way they talk..He's spot on with that and 99% of what he says.
Leave him alone!

Something flipflop got me thinking about. James May can hardly find Surrey from his house in Hammersmith. Can you imagine him trying to find Salford? He'd have to learn German because he'd probably end up in Berlin.
