This came to mind:

You can't miss Northerners. They're instantly recognizable because they travel in herds. Like the Welsh but with tattoos and louder voices...

There he is. Over at the the bar, swigging down a pint of lager at ten in the morning and scratching away at his mozzie bites which are playing havoc with the tasteful Maori style tattoo on his right leg.

Meanwhile, his other half is rocking their sprog back and forth in the buggy while little Tristran or Paris or Brooklyn or whatever his name isn't having any of it and is doing his best to clear the room.

Daddy looks up and sneers meaningfully at his beloved wife or girlfriend - we can't tell which. "Can't you shut the little bugger up?" he bellows.

She glowers back, knowing that there's no point in replying. Daddy downs the rest of his pint and orders another as he tries to decide whether to have a look at the tits on page three or check the football results.

At this point, it occurs to me that I have booked the wrong hotel...

Mr C and I are watching programmes on SKY T.V. 

The adverts drive me bonkers however my rant for today is HTF does it cost 'just £2.00 a month' to save little Rieta and drill a well and yet 'only £3.00 a month' to save a tiger albeit I get a cuddly toy and an annual report?

And there are only 20,000 tigers left in the wild.... So if they hadn't produced the expensive TV advert they could have saved them all on their own!  Thumbs:

I'll add my own Southern OI! to this thread too if I may....?

Michael Parkinson, a cartoon Northerner if ever there was one, once said that the biggest difference between those from the North and those from the South exists only in the minds of the NORTHERNERS.  whistle:
