As requested I am going to write a blog about Scarbados.
I probably won't be able to include everything I want to write about this interesting little town, but I'm sure as hell going to give it a good go.
In the town of Scarborough alone there are over 50,000 people. I just found this out myself and quite frankly, you would think that were about 30 people alone in the entirety of Scarborough as I personally find it quite difficult to know someone without knowing someone who knows someone I know, who is friends with my Dad and has had a baby with someone I used to work with and is in fact my Mum's old friend. You get my point? Even though we are considered a town, I would certainly not be one of the first to say that Scarborough is an overcrowded village, and being an overcrowded village, everybody knows everyone, and every single little bit of their business.
You all have your opinions on everybody, and you probably have an idea of what they think of you too. However, whether these people know you or not, they probably have some reason for judging you for whatever they've heard about you, this can lead to dirty looks from people you've never met in the middle of the street, people laughing behind your back, or people that you know telling you exactly what they heard about you on Saturday night on the piss.
Either way, this town can be a nasty place, whether you want to be involved or not. If you've spoken to anyone in Scarborough, the fact of the matter is, you're going to be part of somebodies business. As an example, my ex girlfriend after we split up, got with someone else, who happened to be seeing someone else I knew previous to her. When I met this person, I heard first hand that apparently my ex girlfriend had told the lady she was seeing that I used to beat her up in the bedroom and strangle her, so of course, the lady that she was seeing told her previous partner who I'd just met that I had been like this with my ex girlfriend, and was actually told to delete me off Facebook for apparently being this 'bad person'. I'd never met this woman in my life, but knowing that people were spreading something untrue about me made me furious... If this had been said, what else did people know? Was I going to be judged for being a person I wasn't before even knowing people?
I know for a fact that throughout this town gossip is pretty much the life and soul of it, and if you don't know any gossip then, well... where have you been? Something is always going down in this town, whether you're involved or not, you're always going to know about it. This place is full of vicious circles of people who would strike you down if you ever crossed them based upon what so and so told them on that night out 3 months ago.
It's probably all bullshit what everyone thinks they know about people in this town, but that's irrelevant, they know it, and that's all that matters to people.
I'm not going to lie and say I don't know my fair share of gossip or not get involved, it just worries me the way it gets nasty when it doesn't need to. I know that it'll never probably stop, and things will probably just get worse, but hey, what happens in Scarbados, stays in Scarbados, and don't worry, your neighbours already know about it!
