Wrong section I guess but it would be interesting to see what sort of spread CBF has when it comes to member loctions in the UK (or for those here, where they were in the UK before they came).
I am sure some will be borderline, but do your best ;)
Thanks
-
I'll tell you now, far too many Northerners,Scots and Welsh
-
Watch OUT!

there,s also one bigoted little englander to many
-
He'll be from the midlands ;)
-
Did we miss off the Socialist Republic of West Yorkshire as they are a very different race to Northerners or North East - in fact I have never come across any other race like them! :D
-
That's interesting Ian. I've often thought that Geordies and Scousers think of themselves as just that before being English (if you know what I mean)
-
is it true that there wouldnt be any geordies if a scotsman hadnt come across the border and had it away with a pig ?
Sorry about that
-
Don't be telling porkies Calvin
-
This threads starting to BOAR me now.
-
Strangely I have always found the people in N East really welcoming!
Gill and I regularly go to Stockton-on-Tees (Swallow Hotel on the main street) as we like the people and the area so much! The coast road further up from Newcastle to Alnwick is stunning!
Just to balance things we also love our annual 3-day break to Oban which we do this time of the year as we think that area has a certain beauty in the winter.
Ian :)
Ps still believe "you can always tell a Yorkshireman - but you can't tell him owt!"

It's called being special and is due to being from the right side of the M62! :)
-
However,God is still a Lancastrian! ;)
-
No he's not Glenn - she's a Londoner:P
-
Glenn - that must be right because she said so ;)
-
I have it on good authority from Mrs66 that she is infact omnipresent,and Mrs66 is ALWAYS right.:D
-
Some ones in for a roasting
-
Can there be a not from UK option? I am sure not everyone on here is British or Irish.

Not that I agree with Ian around the Socialist republic thing, as we normally attribute that to South Yorkshire- however I bu**ared up my vote as I used North East- does that count. Usually Yorkshire appears on surveys on its own with it being the biggest and of course best county[:X]
PS thers nowt wrong wi right folk!
-
reckon the irish will sit this one out. great to see the sasanach's needle it out ;) ;)

Who is this plonker Margaret McEwan who goes by the name of Michael and doesn't know "to" from "too".[?][:(!]
-
Now now Ken
Are you on the Wolf Blass again? ;)
-
Notice us Welsh are keeping out of it too! Don't worry it's only a one off.[:o)]
-
well shamless. we Irish have always had great regard for the Welsh.
suggest we both sit on the wall and watch the gallery. come on England:D:D ;) ;)
-
With all us English types squabbling,the rest of the forum members are enjoying watching us tear lumps from each other!With this in mind how about if we put aside our usual regionalist feelings and present a united front.
I will start the ball rolling by saying that I have met some nice Yorkshiremen...(can't remember when or who...):D
Kind regards,
Glenn :)
-
dont do that Glenn66. we just bought the hotdogs and sodas:D
-
And it's the only time you will hear us shouting come on England!!

-
:)Some of us are sitting back with our hot dogs waiting for it to warm up. ;)

Thats because this doesn't come with pictures John..:D:P ;).lol
Glenn:D

Cuz we're more suffistikated than you lot: :)
-
It is because we are quietly contented at being from the south, and unlike Yorkshire people, we don't feel the need to continuously drone on about how great it is where we come from.
You normally find that the people who are in the pub discussing what a great time they are having, aren't.

I'll drink to that! What is it Scunner, A Campari?
-
Cherry B and Vimto for me squire :D
-
:)I'll drink to that, even though there is a north and south divide, its the ones in the middle I worry about,. ;) Just got back from Barcelona and spent last night with Scottish, Irish, Geordies, Welsh, the whole caboodle, and had a boss laugh, so the bottom line is its the person not the place that matters, ;)
-
I am sorry that we seem to be taking this very seriously!I am sure that JukeBox,Stoop et al from Yorkshire didn't take anything I said seriosly,it was only meant in a light-hearted way and if I have upset anyone,it was not my intention and I apologise.
Glenn

Glenn
You haven't been here long enough to feel the need to apologise to Northerners.
Come to think of it, neither have I :D
-
:DNor me. ;)
-
Whoops Margaret, I must apologise but please tell me where does the "one bigoted little Englander too many" come from. It certainly does not sound like the you I remember.
Cheers
Ken :D:D
-
The best thing about living in the north is that it keeps you lot away from the south ;) ;):D

Aww shurrup yer daft'n ;)

Well I am afraid I have to come in here on behalf of our comrades in Yorshire, Merseyside etc.
It is tradition to leave newly born babies on the back door step (for Southerners that's at the rear of the residence close to the ginnel) all night on day they are born to ensure they are "tough" enough to survive thereafter.
(something that started in Barnsley in 500 BC and was then adopted by the rest of the North of England in 400BC before the Spartans tried it 100 years later!)
Most of our problems in life for the past 2 or 3 centuries have been caused by "us" having to work too hard to keep the softy southerners comfortable so they can shop all week at Harrods and Waitrose!
Traditionally we make it Up North and you lot spend it for us!
So go on apologise a little bit more - in fact we want compensation!
Ian ;)

In which case I would be compensating myself as I am a born and bred Lancastrian 8),still living in Lancashire.
I am only just finding my feet here at the CBF,from what I have seen so far,I like it and didn't want to offend anyone by going over the top.Now I am begining to "sus" your personalities out,it will be easier to know how far to go "leg-pulling".
This obviously doesn't apply to anyone from Yorkshire,as they are too thick skinned to understand anything in the above two paragraphs.:D
Glenn :)
-
Thanks for the history lesson and thanks from the bottom of our hearts for keeping us southerners in the luxury we deserve
-
Glenn - I don't disagree - my comments were aimed at Scunner and his fellow Southerners - he will have to scratch his head for a long time to tell us what the Manufacturing Industry in Leighton Buzzard is famous for - possibly designer shoes (not anything useful like cloggs) up the road in Northampton.
As regards our "cousins" in Yorkshire - I think it is the inter-breeding that makes them the way they are - I mean how else to you explain Geoff Boycott - harmless enough - just opinionated!
Ian :)

Cef - I thought you all had big houses and servants to do that like in Upstairs Downstairs - do you actually do it yourself??
Ian :)

:D Ian, Of course! :o all that 'squidging' is great fun :D ;)
The servants, clean up afterwards :P ;)
-
Hang on - that sounds like a great career opportunity for some of our cousins in Y********. (you have to guess the county!)
Many of them work down the black pudding mines and this would be a great move for them.
We will send the pony express over the Pennines to let them know!
:)
-
Just inform the Express riders to set their watches back 40 years!
-
ken nice toooo hear from you again regards to your family ,tinkerman kindest regards also, my post was tongue in cheek honest if i offended anybody i am truly sorry heartfelt apologies to everybody
-

Black pudding mines? Where does the Black Pudding on Bury market come from? Sri Lanka? Cos it aint Yorkshire.
We had the coal mines mate.
-
Ramsbottom is the home of Black Pudding and the World Championships are held there annually.
I actually happen to be an expert on Black Puddings and have written a thesis on the subject.
You probably won't have seen it in Yorkshire as it had no pictures and lots of words!
However to continue it is a little known fact that the original recipe was found on one of the many prisoners we took at The Battle of Bosworth Filed when we whooped you in the war of the roses!
Our forces were made up of many Mancunians AND Liverpudlians so you didn't stand a chance really!!! :)
-
is that a Yorksire man, that has started a thread about his manflu :-\
Hope you get better soon luvvie:D
Tinx ;)
-
Ang on - Ang on this is the Southerner that was recently pictured in a 36d cup???
I don't think you would last long in Cleckheaton!
It's all right for us Lancastrians (God's chosen ones) to have a go at our cousins but not you lot :D
-
Any man that comes on here with his ailments, looking for sympathy from the ladies,deserves to be ridiculed from the four corners of Great Britain especially a yorkshire MAN.
Tinx ;)
-
Northern Man Flu - is a much more serious strain - even people in Leeds have been known to faint with it !
-
Any excuse I know, but you can stay in the North or the South, I'll stay here thanks..

Highlander - great pictures - isn't that Hollingworth Lake on the outskirts of Rochdale?? :D
-
Do you live under a bush H? ;)
-
You want to live in a bush?
-
Hey - we can all do this you know - this is a picture that I took on the way to the local Rochdale Co-Op this morning!!!
(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e44/ian2006/Egypt_Sphinx_Giza_Pyramid.jpg)
And Jukebox says they have 3 like this in Leeds and their's are bigger and cube shaped !
Ian :D:D:D
-
I never realised Rochdale was in Egypt.
-
You are obviously not a well travelled man - although if you live in Scotland you probably only ever use the M8 :)
-
Funny you should say that Ian, I am heading out to work now and yes I am heading down the M8.
-
Sporran - I hope you and Highlander know this is all "tongue in cheek" - I think we all know how beautiful large parts of Scotland are - but it's good to promote the Rochdale Pyramids from time to time.
The funny thing is those people from Barnsley are now arranging a tour to visit them! :)
-
So much for a caring sharing forum.
I went to Cyprus and paid to travel on a boat, feeling sick all the way because someone advised me to take the anti sickness pills.
All that to see Pyramids and the Sphynx and I could have saved a fortune by popping over the border[:(!]. ;)
-
Just shows you how wrong you can be thinking the pyramids were in Egypt
-
Heather - if you are tempted to come down here - then next time you come don't miss the:
Hanging Gardens of Barnsley - breathtaking!
Ian 8)
-
Thank you Ian
Are you able to direct me to the Taj Mahal??
-
That's easy - it's in the High Street.
The chicken tikka Marsala is highly recommended.
-
The real Stonehenge.
We don't have to pretend.

Cant believe I'm in this conversation, must be bored at work in the dark and dismal satanic mill! :)
-
Tinx,
Thanks for the kind words but we don't have 'luvvies' up north - you lot can keep them thanks!
As for Yorkshire - everyone knows it's God's Own County.
