Nah, it's cyclical - this place will be back to it's mad, bad old self in a few weeks!
Northern Soul - still sounding great after all those years! Come over all misty eyed now.

I've said it before I'll say it again..

You Northerners protest too loudly. We can all see straight through it 😉

Well we could if there weren't all those low grey clouds obscuring the view 😉

That's not clouds it's smog from that there south.

Cup of tea anyone? And maybe an Eccles cake?

Rains stopped !!! Suns up !!! Its brilliant up north.

I've a cucumber sandwich for the right person.

Ooh I like Eccles cakes.

Any Lardy Cake?

I just had a large muffin 8)

[scouse]Ay,Ay, calm down la![/scouse]

Can't beat a bit of narrowminded xenophobia!

What a cake that must be, to be called "narrowminded xenophobia" ? sounds a bit gay where as " lemon drizzle cake" now thats a Yorkshiremans treat.

I think it's named after southerners.

What's that advert about for Yorkshire Tea where the two guys look awkward.
Is '..where tea's important' some kind of euphamism?

Presumably the OP is referring to the proper north, i.e. England north of Leeds, not those pretenders from Hull, Manchester, Liverpool et al.

I guess so or he'd said the Midlands.

Think I'm going to get a butter pie for lunch.

Lardy cake? That's a southern invention!

As far as i'm concerned, 'the north' starts somewhere near Perth

It's very much loved up here and appeared in the Geordie Cookbook.

😉

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm butter pies

Do you know, the first time I had Lardy cake I thought it was just a name, like how black forest gateaux doesn't contain any actual trees.
That has to be the most vile excuse for a cake ever to grace a plate.

I thought the North began at Watford...

Unless you're a true Brightonian in which case it's somewhere north of the Sarf Darns

The North starts at the border i.e North Yorkshire, the clues in the name and the dialect...appen, tha nars, e by ek, T'T'T', pass us yonder lardy bun our mam.....

Do the roads continue North of Oxford then?

I wasn't aware that they went as far North as that. I understood that the M4 was the line of North/South.

I'm not going to bother trying to wind you up. You do it yourself already.

Oxford? eh, theres nothing but a swampy grey mess north of tiverton. Keep south I say. The lamest thing I ever saw was a group of lads arm over shoulder walking down the middle of the road in Tenerife shouting "yarksha yarksha" . Imagine a line abreast group of straw sucking young farmers going " debnshire debnshire"...

Presumably the OP is referring to the proper north, i.e. England north of Leeds...
