[Closed] It's the wars of the roses all over again...

What, the North supports the weak offspring of a successful war-leader (himself the son of an usurper) whilst the South leans towards a slightly rebellious family with links to the Crown & ideas of Grandeur?

Only if you think the War of the Roses was between Yorkshire and Lancashire....

But yes, Yaarkshire tea most definitely was not grown in Yaarkshire.

Having had both, I can say fairly categorically that if the War of the Roses -had- been fought over tea, they'd all have given up and buggered off to the pub ten minutes in. Unless the war was over "which of these two paltry attempts at tea mings most badly?"

Cougar - you can't make a cup of Yorkshire tea without Yorkshire water, so if you're not in god's own county, don't bother 🙂

I am from Greater Manchester and as much as it pains me 😉 I think Yorkshire tea is much nicer.

Being a proud Lancastrian I am ashamed to say that Lancashire Tea is indeed t'minging.

Earl Grey is far superior to your northern monkey tea

I think it might be worth while finding out who the Earl Grey the tea is named for was and most certainly where he was from. Somewhere a bit north of the M62 I think you might find

ok, Earl Grey is far superior to monkey tea.

Some northern monkeys earlier, enjoying a dip in the pool during the warm snap:

Notice they have red faces? Sunburn because they were watching a programme about Africa on the telly.

Actually they're blushing after being caught watching Celebrity Come Dancing.
