Sadly, neither John Smiths or Boddingtons can really be classed as beer any more 🙁

Anyway we're OT here, we're here to talk abut the good not the bad. There's plenty of rubbish all over the country.

I should probably say at this point the best northern things I know are 50% of my daughter and 100% of her mum. And she's properly northern too, not like some of you north-Midlander wannabees.

While we're on beer, do those chaps still make that John Smiths and Boddingtons stuff pop North?

Boddy's used to be a fine session pint, then they closed the Strangeways brewery...

Both Boddingtons and John Smiths taste like they've been strained through an old mans pants

The best pie I've ever eaten was in the most southern part of mainland England. Lizzad to be precise. Well, technically it was a pasty, but by god was that lush.

Beer. I could list probably dozens of southern breweries. Indeed the head brewer of on of them is a STWer. 🙂

(I'm a midlander BTW. I can remain aloof and impartial) 🙂

Best thing about the North? Swaledale.

Oh, and the Wensleydale Creamery cheese shop in Hawes.

NB, best Swaledale pub? My vote would go to the Bridge Inn in Grinton

[i]Farmers Arms just down the road in Muker, next time you're there.

Possibly the best pub in Britain.[/i]

Naa, that's the Black Bull in Boroughbridge (North Yorkshire)

& I wouldn't say The Bridge in Grinton either, (didn't get a reply about accommodation for 6 MTBers & it wasn't that welcoming on a different occasion)

Best thing about the north for me is it's mainly Rugby league rather than kick & clap

Once you get past the war of the roses land Union is the game of choice.

Unfortunately I live in Stoke. I've always considered myself a northerner....I was told by someone in Runcorn today that I am not. On the plus side, even if I do live in Stoke, at least I don't live in Runcorn!

Depends what country you're from. I'm Scottish so the north is Caithness and the South is Dumfries. England is full of soft southern pansies.
