Beaconsfield, which with it's circular arrangement could be compared to the Pit of Sarlacc.
Great service station that. Between that and M6 toll for the best in the country. Don’t give me this Tebay nonsense

Not on a Saturday lunchtime when it's full of northern rugby fans. I also once spent over an hour trying to get out of the car park.

At a recent vintage car rally in my local English market town I saw a guy in a 2012 Houston Texans AFC South champions jersey. Pretty niche stuff.

Anyone else come across folks wearing sports clothes in a random context? Not just short, fat white guys in a LeBron jersey either

I don’t mind arsenal but it’s got to be said they attract the worst fans. Piers Morgan, Jeremy Corbyn, sledger, Osama Bin Laden (listed in order of scumness) . Etc
Is it the case that people in the UK don't follow generally follow their geographically closest premier league team? Corbyn and Morgan for example aren't from any place close to Arsenal. I get there can be familial connections and all which might explain a good deal of it, but it seems to be fairly widespread there.

Also, Random Souths Bloke is a legitimate phenomenon the world over. Genuinely saw one in Kotor in Montenegro last year.

Tbf to Corbyn I am pretty sure Arsenal sits in his constituency. But to your general question I’d say so yeah.

Growing up, TRFC fans were always a minority in any classes I was part of. You could expect that compared to Liverpool and Everton given the proximity but we’d usually be outnumbered by Man U fans too.

You’ll find Liverpool and United fans everywhere. Arsenal not as much but definitely plenty outside of their sphere. And then less so but still prevalent these days for Chelsea, Tottenham and City.

Not exactly random as my home town has a large community of South American students but
there’s been some very pleasant sights wandering the streets in Brazi, Argentina, etc jerseys recently

Never heard of it.

Anyway I support Arsenal because my best friend in school (circa 1991) told me he supported them, so I picked them too.

My old man watched Charlie George’s bicycle kick on a tv in Oxford Street and bought me a jersey home
