I’ve had a few good nights there anarl, total dump, rough as fuck but canny nights out.

I distinctly remember stepping out of the club I was in and seeing a load of roided up bouncers paggering people all over. No baring on the night I'd had at all but it was happening.

It was one of my mates from university's home town and we'd all gone there so not like I was with different people. And we were at Leeds University so objectively a better night out. One of those weird ones where a place just works really well.
 
I worked there for 11 years - good pay, excellent pension and really positive work attitude. Short notice overtime was always a problem but always explained before you worked there. Nissan was not for everyone but best place I ever worked.
I did 20 years and it was f***ing awful. The outsourcing of jobs to agencies is a f***ing disgrace but is never mentioned. Legally they get around the required notice period for overtime by saying it was on every day then cancelling it at the last minute. I bet you worked in QA or the offices. The lads on the line have prison pallors and sleep issues - but they can lease a shiny new car that they build but don't earn enough to buy outright. Pension was disgracefully downgraded many years ago. And no fucker explained short notice overtime or banked hours to me when I signed on in 1998, but no, go on, tell me how f***ing wonderful it is. 'If you don't like it, haway we will go up to personnel and you can hand your notice in - there are plenty on the dole would love your job'. Heard that many a time.
 
Sunderland is dead, the population is shrinking and has been for years. Even that little jumped up town newcastle is bigger than Sunderland now ffs. It's a shit hole ……...…. but it's my shithole and when I'm too old to work any more I'll be retiring there cos I love the place.
So who do the sons and daughters of Tory voters generally vote for?
Labour.

I am Sunderland born and raised.My genuine question is why do the City of Sunderland people settle for second or third best mediocrity whether in local govt regeneration,national politics, and yes football.??? WHY ???
Probably they're like me and not "settling " for stuff like we're some sort of soft shite just looking at a bigger picture
Doing that and realising there's only so much you can control helps you have a great life
I've lived here 56 years ,been out of work less than a year in my life and love life .It's a great place location wise .It has enough of the benefits of a big place without all the hassle of a bigger place (crime ,traffic, daft house prices etc )
Apparently we have a shit football team ,club ,manager etc
I've had some amazing days following that club and people would die to have similar in their town .
I cant imagine past proud Sunderland generations putting up with such mediocrity.
How old are you ?
The past proud bollocks is a myth
They just existed then died in a tough world ,pretty much ignored and undervalued in real terms
Like all these comments on old Sunderland pics
"When we had pride " 😀
Washing your path ,maybe

I’m on about the daft bastards from sunderland who complain about the state of the Vaux site etc but come election day vote the same people back in .
Any evidence to back this claim up that people do this? In my experience the most vocal either don’t vote, or vote for UKIP/Brexit Party etc, Those people should accept democratic decision and the will of the people imo.

Becasuse its where you live & that makes you a greenhouse dwelling stone chucker living in a cesspit like shiremoor.
