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

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!
