Giving you the backstory and appraisals of vintage memes!
Submissions should be vintage memes or commentary about vintage memes. Commenters are advised to appraise the internet value and provenance meme antiquities.
Rules:
Photo of a slice of ham split in 2, one is labelled West Ham and the other East Ham.
Photo of the whole slice of ham, labelled Fulham
Photo of empty plate with crumbs on it, labelled Nottingham
I think Eaton would have worked better for the last image haha
Americans googling to see if these are all really places.
As a kid, I thought Birmingham was pronounced "burning ham"
Fun fact: when the boroughs of West Ham and East Ham merged in 1965, some of the suggested names by the public included Hamstrung, Hamsandwich, Smoked Ham and Hamsweetham.
They settled on the new name Newham, which, y'know, is elegant and all, but it's disappointing once you know they could've been a sandwich.
Is it pronounced "nju'm"?
And then there's Tottenham. Or as I like to call it: Tot & Ham.
thie is brilliant honestly
Dont forget Feltham
Don't get me started on Badham
Ted Lasso!
