How Northern Are You?

[martint235]

Can I just say how much it amuses us Cumbrians to see lankies and tykes arguing about which is the second best county in England.

Hang on, isn't Cumbria the bit everyone else said they didn't want and couldn't be a***d to fight over?

What colour is the devil normaly depicted as & what colour is the lancashire rose?
Yorkshire, like it or not remains the only English County mentioned in the Bible & the only County who's National Anthem has been translated into & sung in over 100 languages.

Is-yorkshire-mentioned-in-the-bible-then...yawn...

It is indeed. Somewhere near Exodus.

"And God smote Gomorrah and Sodom into the ground from whence he had brought them.
Sodomite: S**t, someone's destroyed our city.
Gomorrahite: Ah no worries. The Devil persuaded God not to destroy Yorkshire on the 9th day. We'll go there
Sodomite: Yorkshire? I'm not going there it's full of perverts doing depraved things to ovines"

And there endeth the lesson

How the chuff do they do it???? It said 50% somewhere near Nottingham. I now live near Lincoln but originate from Kings Lynn and on the north south divide Nottingham is mid way between the 2.

Bradford's just been voted UK curry capital though..

and????????

I got 85%, coincidentally apparently that's somewhere about York.

I'm currently sitting a bit further south, in Manchester.

Anyway, apparently Northerners don't prefer blackpudding and chips with gravy any more:

20% Northern, but only just. Most of the time I was glued to the south coast, pretty much where I was born.

I guess that 20% is probably just the London influence....

May I suggest an entrée of black pudding

My nephew got married in Wigan. At the reception they served black pudding canapes. Big crisply lumps of BP on cocktail sticks. Pure Northern class.

60percent for me btw.

I'm too busy enjoying a nice bottle of Verdicchio I just bought in Waitrose and buying a bigger house to hold all my grooming products...and cooking pan seared placenta with homemade.garden herb and hazelnut pesto. Beer? so unrefined..

You southerners with your dream catching, raki massaging, aroma therapy ways. What's wrong with a bit of liver and onions?

Nice to see you admitting Cumbria is the worst...

It is indeed. Somewhere near Exodus.

Sodomite: S**t, someone's destroyed our city.
Gomorrahite: Ah no worries. The Devil persuaded God not to destroy Yorkshire on the 9th day. We'll go there
Sodomite: Yorkshire? I'm not going there it's full of perverts doing depraved things to ovines"

What colour is the lancashire rose & what colour is the devil usually depicted as?
You're sidestepping giving an answer!

 

[petersull]

90% for me I am originally a southerner I usually have chips peas ( mushy ) and gravy. My grandauughter is a true northerner though.

 

[derrick]

Got that right.

 

[Primal Scream]

I am 100% blood Irish but lived most of my life in the North. I swap allegiance as and when it suits me. Irish passport for added credibilty.

When I was 16 I went to Lloret, my first time abroad with friends, I heard estuary english for the first time, and went into shock, I had no idea that men could sound like, I don't know, Jordan? I still move away from southerners when I am on the beach, they ruin my day..

Why? do they make you look bad
