it's banter at the end of the day.

Standard banter between Englishman and Scotsman:
Englishman: "We call the Scotsmen jocks."
Me: "Don't the Scotsmen call YOU sassenach or some such?"
Scotsman: "No, we just call them wankers."
The north-south divide is fun too. There were several Killing Joke gigs ooooop north and the southern contingent were tenderfootedly asking for directions. One northerner paused, then said: "well, you start out on the M1 under the sign that says 'The North.' You drive until all you see are farms and the motorway turns into a gravelly path. You then take a left at t'pit, a right at t'mill, and you're there. If you get lost, ask someone wearing a flat cap and sensible boots. T'others walking along the side of the road are lost Southerners like yerselves."
(And here I was thinking, do they not sell maps in London, cos I've bought some at my local bookstores!!!! Ordinance, Michelin, you name it!)

The curryhouses, which I have eaten at, and the real estate. I can't repeat what my Stockport-born ex-fiance says of Stockport. It involves references to bodily orifices.
By the by Bramall was quite nice compared to say Strangeways.

That's why the water cannons were fired at him. Anything to get him clothed again and off the roof.NC Penguin
