Anyhoo, Margate is renowned for its connections to both Turner, Emin, and (in nearby Ramsgate) Van Gogh. https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2011/apr/14/margate-art-kent-turner-contemporary However, as far as I'm concerned, Chas & Dave do it for me. @wattie exploitedhas WAY better tales to tell about Margate, but this is a classic of its ilk:- Hi Mikey we went to pub down there it was like the league of gentleman (its a local shop for local people ) pretty inbred lol !!!!!!!

I remember being in Spain 1990. Our group was made up of myself, a Hibby and a Blue nose. Every English person who we spoke to knew nothing of us or hibs. However they were creaming themselves over my rangers supporting mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly all English clubs are named after the town or City they play in whereas quite a few Scottish clubs are not. Reminds me of an episode of “The Bill” years ago where a valuable painting or something has been stolen. One cop asks a colleague “What do you know about the Arts?” The reply was “It’s a football team in Scotland, innit?” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can be as proud as they want but the correct answer would have been Stenhousemuir. Their fabled floodlights were first used after they had played an exhibition game under floodlights against Stenhousemuir at Ochilview. As an aside their first floodlight game was a friendly against us which they promptly lost 2-0. They even hibsed their floodlight debut.
