Jokes were initially made on this basis/issue and I don't mind when it is mentioned within its original contextual setting.
...then things started to spiral out of control. Now it used by others as an attempt to 'fit in' with the forum as people think it 'forum craic' which it really isn't.
In my opinion, it's beyond a joke now. It's plain annoying.
I agree with your points there, Adam. I wouldn't describe the place as a deathtrap (I speak from experience, one or two friends come from Woodstone Villlage, etc, and I do pass through often when on my travels) - but I do think it's a bit of a tip. Same can be said for many other places, but let's not go there otherwise we'll have another 'leave CLS alone' rant.
I admit to using it to fit in a bit, but now I just see it as a little annoying too. Don't mind the odd joke, but not imaginary bus services from there to Detriot! (see what I did there?
)What ruins it overall, is that people who I doubt have ever been there before, use it to their advantage. I live 10 minutes at best from the middle of Fencehouses, and find it annoying that people who (for all I know) have never been through or to the place before and start cracking wise-ones about it!
