Only if you're talking about beer in the North of England - in the South it's warm and comes with no head. I can't drink it.

I think your second paragraph contradicts your first one.

My last post referred to your one that began "Well, I'm a Northerner from Lancashire and although I might admit to being behind the times, I don't think I'm uncivilised.", your beer one appeared while I was typing my reply. However "in the South it's warm and comes with no head. I can't drink it." puts you firmly on the uncivilised list.

But I will allow that one of the two good things coming out of the North is Newcastle Brown Ale.

(The other good thing coming out of the North is the Southbound carriage of the M1

)

I agree about Newcie Brown - but that's the North East, not the North

So the other good thing coming out of the 'North' should really be the A1 and not the M1 - the M1 stops of course at Leeds.

Which nicely lets me conclude with the best thing coming out of Yorkshire is the westbound carriageway of the M62

Well I'm English as well. Some of the best beer is in the South from breweries like Hook Norton and Cheriton, but that's closer to wine that head banging heavy stuff (although that's here as well). The food can be stunning if you move away from McDonalds and other fast food stuff. The influence of French, Italian, Chinese and Japanese cuisine has created some quite wonderful restaurants.

The north is great - I loved Islington.
