I used to listen to the Mac Lads. Very rustic!!!

By the way - what does ''mardy bum'' mean?

Stoke on Trent is in Staffordshire which is in the Midlands and probably explains why you have never heard of Arctic Monkeys or Elbow and dont know what mardy bum means. But its okay - we'll still talk to you!

Oh I'd forgotten about the vile custard, no wonder there were so many kids on 'free dinners' - who would pay for that gooey mess?

Yellow belly custard, green snot pie
All mixed together with a dead dog's eye
Slap it in a bucket, nice 'n thick
Wash it all down with a bucket o' sick

Re: The "I'M FROM THE NORTH OF ENGLAND" thread

Helloooooo!

I'm from Teesside - but don't hold that against me! I currently live in western Sydney.

I think the only thing I miss from there is my family and a couple of friends, but that's about it. (Also peas pudding, I miss that in my ham sarnies).
