That's not the north, north midlands maybe!

Aye.

Mind you I come from south Manchester and that's barely north either,
but it is :-)

I don't go south of Manchester if I can help it, it's well over 100
miles and needs 2 1/2 hrs driving. The map has "Here be Dragons" on
it once you get past Stoke (160 miles, 3hrs+).

Trouble is it gets mildy windy and rains a bit and the "southern
poofters" go into panic the world is about to end mode. Meaning that
they might get slighly wet when outside for the 30 seconds it takes
to get from the front door to the car.

When it gets windy up here, you have to be very careful to a) not get
knocked off balance b) if opening a car door hang onto it very firmly
or the wind will have damn good try at folding it right back against
the side of the car or at the very least half drag you out. As for
the rain, that hurts so much you really don't want to face it.

==========================

Are we still doing this? We did make a bit of unnecessary fuss in the
south about that breeze in '87, I suppose.

The geographical consensus seems to be that most of Wales is in 'the
south', so I guess those poor souls being airlifted from the floods
today are a bunch of poofters, too.

Shall I join in and start jeering about whippets and flat caps and
stuff? Mind you, I can subvert that stereotype because I have both. I
don't keep coal in the bath, though.

Could we move on from this nonsense? Or are we to 'lighten up'?
