Northern Monkeys
Southern Shandy Drinking Fairies
etc etc.
It's all common north/south divide stuff and little more than banter.
I dunno why, but whenever i think of "the North" and the attitude i remember the time me and my ex-gf's family went to see a match in Liverpool
Kid asks "Pound to watch your car mate" as we parked up , leaving the brothers huge dog in the back.
"it's alright - there's a dog in the car"
Kid : (without blinking) "Can a dog put out a fire?"
.... genius. Easiest quid he earned that day, the frigging Northern Monkey.
(I am a northerner, just in case there was any doubt)
