Does the UK have an equivalent of flyoverland?

What a particularly idiotic question.

Birmingham.

What about Manchester?

Not Manchester.

Norfolk is very inbred.

Everywhere except London.

They're is not New York, so there is not the arrogance.

East Anglia, the Westcountry, the North East, all of Wales, all of Northern Ireland, and all of Scotland outside the central belt

Yes definitely Wales and Northern Ireland.

[quote] They're is not New York,

The most flyover Oh Dearism ever.

Leeds!

I've been to Northern Ireland and I am so glad my great-grandparents got on that fucking boat and GTFO of there. What a shithole.

It’s called Middle England and it’s not a place, but a mindset. Middle Englanders aren’t likely to live in London so the whole rest of England could qualify, depending on the person.

Wales, Norfolk and Birmingham

Slough

They don't have a lot of land so im guessing anything outside London.

What do they think of the Irish?

R16 They're dismissive of Ireland. I can't blame them.

It's called Glasgow.

BUMP

There are two places in England which are NOT flyoverland

One is London

Guess which one is second

I would say anywhere outside of London, the Home Counties (the counties that surround London) and the major cities (Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Cardiff).

Although I thought it was charming, Colchester isn't seen as a great place.

R22 Essex is the British New Jersey.

Birmingham and Manchester and the whole areas around both are (were) highly industrialized. They are more comparable to Chicago and rust belt cities like Pittsburgh, Detroit and Cleveland. Same goes for Glascow.

Edinburgh is considered the "classy" "artsy" city in Scotland which would be akin to San Francisco. Aberdeen is oil city, a tiny Houston.

Aberdeen is pretty grim with some ugly, ugly people. I say that as a partially Scottish Brit, who has family from around that area, I'm just lucky it seemed to skip my gene pool somehow.

Would Hollyoaks be considered flyover ?

R26 It's a suburb of Chester, so yes.

The UK isn't big enough to have flyoverland. Seriously, I'm from Norway and Norway is three times the size of England. That's how tiny that country is.

The population of the UK is about 13x the population of Norway. It takes people to form culture, not empty land.

Flyoverstan is a state of mind, R28.

Oh, please R6! Puh-leeze.

The arrogance of your class system is world famous. Your entire society is constantly punching down the person believed to be beneath you in the social order so you can preserve your wee piece of that cold, wet, over-crowded island. Just about everything in the entire culture is arrogant.

But for British arrogance, there would be no Brexit on the table.

Hull and Halifax

Over there they call it "drive-by land".

I think it's making less and less sense to talk about the UK. Britain, Scotland and Ireland seem to make up the British Isles.

Last I checked they are still using the pound in Belfast and euros in Dublin. Northern Ireland is still very much party of the United Kingdom, not Ireland.

I always heard it was Coventry. Wherever in England Coventry may be.

Coventry is an oasis of taste, elegance, and refinement, I'll have you know!

Carlisle is awful.

R37 And their carols, don’t forget about them!

What is your definition of "Britain?" England and Wales?

Great Britain is England, Scotland & Wales.

The United Kingdom is Northern Ireland, England, Scotland & Wales.

Yes but the point r40 was making, is that r34 defined Britain as England and Wales.

To add further confusion, the British Isles includes all of Ireland.

Frogmore

It's not "flyover". More like drive-across.

Where do Chavs live? There.

Where do the Vicky Pollard types live? I want to see a chav/chavette in real life.

[Quote] What is your definition of "Britain?" England and Wales?

Yes. That is the definition. Add Scotland for Great Britain.

R47 Wait it takes Scotland to make it Great, explain that?

R48 The island is called Great Britain. Scotland occupies a third of it.

R48 "Great" as in larger. Not "wonderful", though our British friends may like to differ. UK is the three with NI added.

R46 - Bristol, my lover. x

Call it what you will, but Wales, England, Scotland and Northern Island, combined, are the same size as Michigan. Individually, they amount to nothing.

So who cares?

"are the same size as Michigan"

If you include the upper peninsula which many people forget when talking about Michigan.

CYU (Chwerthin yn uchel) - that's LOL to you!

Note in that article above, the Daily Mail has falsely included the Irish Republic in its graphic of the United Kingdom. I suppose if the editors had excluded all that land held by the Irish Republic from that graphic, it would have been too much for the readership to bear.

R46 Chavs originated in a pocket of Liverpool, and have spread throughout every mile of the country. Another enormously concentrated shithole is Blackpool.

R54 - I do not leave out part of a state but I know people who do with regards to Michigan.....i.e. they did not realize the upper peninsula was part of Michigan.

Essex, R46.

What about Norwich?

IMO one of the sexiest accents I've ever heard.

Do the chavs practice good foreskin hygiene?

Otherwise, hot.

Yes, the parish of Frinton and Walton, Essex.

R31 gets a round of applause.
