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

Don't you mean Bramhall? The place everybody in Cheadle Hulme says there from?
I'm sure the City fan (Blue nose) sulks a lot.

This is why I always check the BBC tables often, and especially after weekends.
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!)

Whenever I've sent post I've always written "Bramall" -- but I know that there are places that have the "aitch" in there. There is a Bram(h)all family in the Stockport-area family tree I'm forever working on, and even they couldn't decide on whether or not to leave the "h" in or drop it. And of course there's the tongue-twisting "Bramall Hall."
The City fan can well hold her own
and the night we visited, we were going to the City match next day and would choose City over Utd any time. So the Utd fan was outnumbered 3:1 and if he'd tried anything we'd've prevailed! Of course, I am told "real" Mancunians are for City, that Utd ought to move closer to London and their fanbase :P
