Being a Cardiff boy I'd have thought I'd have heard of this 'famous' place?
Yay, this thread again
Caroline Street probably used to be infamous rather than famous. Long time ago it was full of pawnbrokers, Spielers, dirty book shops, pimps and knocking shops.
There were two chip shops, but you wouldn't want to eat there cause they were filthy. They were open pretty much all night so they'd get pissed up football fans from the valleys or somewhere a long way away who knew no better. Many got robbed or stabbed in the process actually.
There we go, a little bit of Cardiff history for you
Never heard of it :shrug:
That's it, argument finally over, it is now formalised as Chippy Alley
No it isn't.Quote:

Only that oracle of misinformation WalesOnLine,and ignorant students call it anything other than its rightful name.
And that name is Caroline Street.
ps
Why do mobile phone users persist with videoing in portrait mode, when virtually every uploaded video is displayed in landscape mode?
:facepalm:
Never heard of it
Cos we’re all lazy ***** and don’t care for anyone but ourselves at the time of recording.Quote:

Best advise pick on the bigger folk , as their phones are in the air a lot longer ,and the anguish on their faces lingers .Quote:

Its simple. Easy. Quick to learn.
Anyone else can feck off with their foreign bollocks sorry.
Shouldn’t it be Chip Yr Lane, or maybe Heol Chippio ?
I’d be amazed if any born and bred Cardiffian referred to it as anything other than Caroline St.
Only students and outsiders would call it anything else. Fu*king plastics. They get everywhere!!
I expect it's people from the valleys or, as you say, students these days.
Remember the stuffed bear outside the newsagent by the bus station ?
I call it Caroline street and I’m from the valleys, only ***** call it otherwise.Quote:
