I live 30 mins away from both Edinburgh and Glasgow, but I don't say I'm from either place.

I say I am from the town that I actually live in - I think most people tend to do that, unless of course, they are trying to hide where they actually come from (either through trying to play it up - or down).

Good for you.. nobody would have heard of where I actually live, it's likely that the nearest place to me that they'd know is Bristol, so I either use that or say Gloucestershire

Many would not know the town I live in either...therefore when I say I live in XXXX , I confirm that it is 'near' to.... or say most times, "It's between Glasgow and Edinburgh".... I dont pretend to live somewhere that I don't.

No need for the wagging fingers btw.

Geordie is commonly used for people up North it does not mean they have to be born in the city.

He is from just outside and his accent is very very very much Geordie.

This Jay bashing is becoming very tedious now. Yes his mother has money but he has worked as a plumber making him working class he aint no millionaire.

Weegie is a term for folk from Glasgow - and I would never regard myself as such, because I don't come from Glasgow.

We are discussing how someone can claim they live and come from a particular type of background and area: when in fact, the truth is: they don't.

That's not Jay bashing, that's called a fairly reasonsable topic for conversation and discussion.

Historically, Sunderland encompasses Durham and other areas....


County Durham /ˈdʌrəm/ is a ceremonial county[2] and (smaller) unitary district in North East England. The county town is Durham. The largest settlement in the ceremonial county (in its own unitary Borough) is the town of Darlington.[3] The county has a mixture of mining and farming heritage, as well as a heavy railway industry, particularity in the southwest of the county in Darlington, Shildon and Stockton. Its economy was historically based on coal and iron mining.[4] It is an area of regeneration and promoted as a tourist destination.[4]

It makes me laugh how you all call Jay a liar and condemn him for decieving viewers yet celebrate Aaron who admitted he lied throughout the auditions and used to think of one liners to say in the diary room to please viewers. (Whish he admitted to on last nights show).

Baffles me.

Your plea to stop Jay bashing would have a million % more credibility if you also plead to stop Aaron bashing, as Aaron gets a much rawer deal!

I actually think Aaron was an awesome housemate.

You know you can like a housemate without hating another or hating the members of the forum for supporting another housemate.

First part I agree with - I can and do like some housemates and don't need to hate other ones.

The Bib though, what has this got to do with the discussion....we are discussing housemates..not our feelings for or towards other forum members.
