So basically I wonder if the stereotypes or impressions we have of place are all that similar and I wonder how it changes if we live in that place as opposed to people not living there. Essentially, fill out the list below with the first things that come to your mind about that place: no matter how rude or silly they may seem. Crime, buildings - anything that comes to mind.
Liverpool:
Manchester:
Birmingham:
Bristol:
Glasgow:
Edinburgh:
London:
Leeds:
Kent:
Yorkshire:
Brighton:
Cardiff:
Newcastle:
Essex:
Portsmouth:
Belfast:
Here's my list.
Liverpool: Docks, old buildings, shopping, drinks.
Manchester: Canals, funny looking chavs, big stations, tall buildings, large abandoned spaces outside city centre.
Birmingham: That round tower, the Bullring, immigrants.
Bristol: Skins, that south-western farmer accent, students.
Glasgow: Gorbals estate, Labour fortress, housing estates.
Edinburgh: The Castle, small cobbled streets with smart stone buildings and finance.
Outer London: Ghettoised, unsafe, crime, immensely rich areas, expensive and congested.
Leeds: Big open spaces with big roads, tonnes of students.
Kent: True-blue country, small villages with nice pubs everywhere.
Yorkshire: Wars of the Roses, the Tudors and farming. Run-down towns.
Brighton: Expensive, quirky/weird, full of Londoners.
Cardiff: Sparsely populated and quiet.
Newcastle: The tyne, nights out and students.
Essex: Big cars, big houses and Joey Essex.
Portsmouth: Ships. Lot's of them.
Belfast: Divided streets with regeneration in centre.
