Inverkip

Inverkip is a village in the west coast of Scotland. It is normally pretty peaceful but has gotten more murder-y in recent decades.

There is a beautiful marina that has lots of boats and some really nice rich people homes. There's also a manor called Ardgowan that is surrounded by land where you can find sheep and horses etc.

Inverkip was small but new houses keep being built on the hills behind the village and lots of trees are being knocked down to do this because someone said "fuck the environment!".

From Inverkip you can travel down the stunning coastal road towards Largs, perfect for summer driving. Inverkip has a small beach as well, which is usually quiet but can occasionally be filled with drunk teenagers.

"I'm thinking of getting married in Inverkip."
"Just avoid the murderers."

Elizabeth Windsor

Elizabeth Windsor, ruler of the United Kingdom and a few other places (e.g. Canada, Australia) is actually not the second Elizabeth to rule Scotland so can't be called Elizabeth II there.

There are lots of weird conspiracy theories about her and her creepy ass husband Philip. One of her sons is likely a nonce.

She has a strong bling game but should probably give some of it back to India.

"It's the queen's birthday today!"
"I take it you mean Elizabeth Windsor and not Betty White..."

The Port

The Port refers to Port Glasgow, a town in the west coast of Scotland. People who aren't local tend to confuse Port Glasgow with the city called Glasgow, so the Port works as a nickname to avoid this confusion.

Port Glasgow is next to Greenock and smaller places like Kilmacolm and Langbank. It's home to the Port bird.

"Where are you from?

"Port Glasgow."
"Oh I love Glasgow!"
"I'm not from Glasgow, I'm from the Port!"

West Norwood

An area in the borough of Lambeth located in south London. West Norwood ain't as cool as Brixton and it ain't as posh as Dulwich, however it's kind of okay.

West Norwood cemetery is pretty interesting and has some famous people buried there.

There are also lots of stray cats in West Norwood and at night the foxes come out to get food remains from the rubbish bins.
