Anyone from Britain here?

Well, I'm a Northerner from Lancashire and although I might admit to being behind the times, I don't think I'm uncivilised.

You can still get mushy peas in Lancashire from a decent chippy (assuming you can find one that isn't Chinese that is). You can still get Black Pudding as well, which is a traditional health food where I come from

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

RE: "So the other good thing coming out of the 'North' should really be the A1" - Well you said it, not me. But it is nice to see a Northerner agreeing with the Southern view of the North.
