tiger_rick 6,069 Report post Posted June 6 https://pudding.cool/2019/06/people-map-uk/ This is a map of the UK with each place represented by the person born in or representative of that place who is most viewed on Wiki. Wrestling connections I spotted immediately: Paige, Davey Boy, Wade Barrett Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Dart 301 Report post Posted June 6 (edited) TIL Chris Morris from Brass Eye is from the same place as me. Â Saw Nick Aldis on there too as well as the ones you've mentioned. Edited June 6 by The Dart Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PowerButchi 3,197 Report post Posted June 6 (edited) To the surprise of no-one, Mark Hughes is Ruabon and Robbie Savage Wrexham. I may move these to Off topic as it seems like something intresting for there.  And, brilliantly, Llandudno is represented by Purple Aki!!!

Chest Rockwell 3,641 Report post Posted June 6 Ooh. I got Peter Cushing for Kenley. Can't say I'm unhappy about that! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BomberPat 3,781 Report post Posted June 6 Jersey's not included, so I went for a look around the old country... Â Eleonar Tomlinson for Beverley, my hometown. Having looked her up, I can safely say I have never knowingly seen a single thing she's done. The village I grew up in, Bishop Burton, gets William Duncan, an Anglican missionary to British Columbia. Hull gets Andrew Lincoln, and I was today years old when I realised that Rick Grimes from Walking Dead (which I've never watched) is just Simon from Teachers. Driffield, where my brother and much of the extended family live (or thereabouts), gets Mick Woodmansey of the Spiders from Mars, which is pretty boss.

PowerButchi 3,197 Report post Posted June 6 I can tell you now that Jersey would be Major Benest. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AdamTH17 536 Report post Posted June 6 Stockport have got Claire Foy. Can't say I've heard of her but one Google search later shows she's far too lovely to be from here. Surprised it's not Phil Foden actually, he's only about ten minutes from my place. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hallicks 574 Report post Posted June 6 Much as I'd love it to be true, Sid Vicious (not that one) being from Tunbridge Wells is stretching it. He lived there for a few years as a teenager. Does that qualify? At least David Gower was born there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mim731 719 Report post Posted June 6 Not having Kaya Scodelario for Haywards Heath, seems like bollocks, not when it's the birthplace of Suede (the band) and where Richard Osmond grew up! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carbomb 2,689 Report post Posted June 6 Got Freema Agyeman, Bob Hoskins, and Jeremy Corbyn for my local area (am sort of in one of those weird in-between areas). My mum's from an in-between place too, near Liversedge, Heckmondwike, Cleckheaton, etc. Biggest names there are Patrick Stewart, from Mirfield (knew about that one before, though), and Roger Hargreaves, from Cleckheaton (which I didn't know about).

Devon Malcolm 6,277 Report post Posted June 6 Predictable results for Burnage, fucking Oasis. Surprised to get Claire Foy for Stockport though, was expecting Michelle Keegan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Max Power 148 Report post Posted June 6 (edited) Bloody William Hague. Think that's about it from my little town, although Lucy Clarkson of Tomb Raider 'fame' was in the year above me at school. At least Barnsley is John Stones and not Dickie Bastard Bird. Edit: There's a village near us called Wentworth and hilariously Ernie Els crops up. Edited June 6 by Max Power Can't spell.

Aye, I believe it was just Brett Anderson and Mat Osman (Richard's brother) who are from round this way. I got Bob Hoskins for where I grew up, which I never knew, so that's quite cool. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
