i think you should just move to the north and have done with it, to be honest. you're just not cut out to be a southerner, really. too dour, too embittered.
you'd be at home up there, pissing on bonfires with your gruff, homespun, wisdom.
I would be good at being an old, withered, taciturn, gruff roadie..
grovelling over the yorkshire dales on an ancient, heavy ten speed, wearing a threadbare cap, shop jersey (of a long closed outlet) and tutting at the carbon bling racers that speed past me.
But, it's too hilly up there, and I'll always be a southerner to them.
