The City of Stoke On Trent's image problem

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Stole has a bit of an image problem. So a documentary is attempting to change this...

Plate Turners, 'important Stokies' and Space Ducks. Was I wrong to laugh?

You've done it no favours by calling it Stole

I think they may have to try a bit harder with that one

Ha, I like it. Makes it sound more like Stow on the Wold, which is plush. See what I did there? Shifting perceptions, innit. Defo not a phone autocorrect error / lack of proof reading on my part.

Don't mind Stole...the old Victoria pub next to the ground. Uncle was a miner there, top bloke, both him and miners in general

And closer to Stale, which is a word that also describes it kinda well.

I actually by and large like the people. I'm more amused by the documentary. Borders on Spinal Tap territory for me.

Bugger. I'll never make it in marketing.

Phil 'The Pervert' Taylor comes from Stoke.

No wonder they have an image problem.

..can only remember going once and that was to the old Victoria Ground. Chamberlain scored for Stoke and we drew 1-1.

Been twice, should be twinned with Neston on the Wirral, webbed feet and brothers banging sisters

It's a hotbed for dangers.
