Does it still look like a heavy manufacuring town, or has the service industry and deindustrialisation obliterated the old industrial landscape of the place?

OK so in the UK, how does it work? Is it similar to the way its done in the US, where you go to school Elementary School--Kindergarten(5 years of age)-6th grade(11 yrs. old), Middle School--7th(12 yrs. old) and 8th grade(13 yrs. old), and High School--9th grade(14 yrs. old)-12th grade(graduating at either 17 or 18 yrs. of age depending on your B-DAY), (the way school is usually split up)then college or any additional schooling from there?
Similar in any way?

Don't mind where it is as long as it's 5 star luxury, preferably with a hot tub.

I was staying at a hostel with a bunch of English, and everyone made fun of the guy from Luton....just because he was from Luton.

I travel a lot as a professional driver and the one thing that's always fascinated me is the amount of footwear I've seen lying at the side of the road, particularly on Motorways. Who leaves them there, what were the circumstances, why were they dropped, how long before you noticed they were missing?

I've always found it an extraordinary phenomonon!

Australians are called "Aussies" because of the name Australia; New Zealanders are called "Kiwis" because their national bird is the kiwi; French people are called "Frogs" because of their famous dish of frogs legs and Americans are called "Yanks" because during the American Civil War one of the armies were called the Yankees.

So why are English people called "Poms?"

Does anyone know the historical reason?

My BF is from Medway - home of the Chav.

Chatham High Street seems to be a Mecca for the breed. Burberry caps, big gold earring, pushchairs and scrapebacks everywhere you look.

We live in the South Wales Valeys and I'm originally from Newport, Gwent. Home of the Goldie Lookin Chain, need I say more. I really think Newport should be twinned with Chatham as they are equally chavvified!

Which do you think are Britain's Chavviest towns? And why?
