Oxford Road is a road in Manchester that joins directly to Wilmslow Road providing transport throughout the city and nobody knows exactly where Wilmslow Road ends and Oxford Road begins.
Fed up with rural life, Roy Wilmslow decided he would begin building a road to travel through to the lively city centre. At the same time Andrew Oxford decided he would also build a road from Manchester to Didsbury. Without knowledge of the others plans, they wer shocked as half way through making their roads the two roads joined and the pair could not reach a decision other than to name both sides of the road and have it as 1 road.
Oxford Road is known for its more industrialised part of the road with its universities and clubs and BBC offices.
The remaining Wilmslow family still reside in Didsbury and pride themselves of their heritage. Every now and then power mad family members try to campaign to get the entire road named as Wilmslow Road which have been unsuccesful to date.

Get the oxford road mug.Oxford shoes are only worn for special occasions. For example, you wear them in marching band while you play the flute. Oxford shoes are so swagtastic that only beautiful sexy goddesses wear them. If u want to get a boy band member as your boyfriend aka five seconds of summer, you have gotz to wear them. Mainly wannabe hipsters and Nirvana posers wear them. Oxford shoes are soo swaggish and HELLA fine.

Get the oxford mug.A small 'city' in Southern England that would be of complete insignificance were it not for its University. Everyone in Oxford is stuck up their own arse, even more so than your typical southerner, possessing some misguided sense of importance/higher social standing. Anyone under 25 in Oxford is a complete pussy and has one of those "oh look at me, I'm such a smart arse Academic" faces that you really just want to punch.
If Oxford was in the North, it would be entirely ignored.
They talk like complete twats, also.
Obviously though, because it's got some ancient, elitist University, it must be cherished and wanked over by the Media 24/7. Oh yeah, they have some shitty ass boat race there against Cambridge, who are actually a lot more down to Earth than these pillocks, but Oxford feel the need to stamp their superiority everywhere. Posh twats.

Anyway, I must go and revise for my Philosophy exam tomorrow morn, because I posses such a high level of intellect and importance that you can't possibly contemplate, what with being Northern and all. Tally ho"
Northerner: "...twat"
