Ah, the classic sketch! Can never see it too often!!:applause:

Lets stay with sterotypes, before you soft southern shandy drinking ponces start:love-struck:

Now then John, I can’t agree on that. Every single time I have been up in Yorkshire, I have found them very friendly, and although I am only a social drinker, I’ve had a few drinks out of them, and they paid.In fact, they insisted. :very_drunk:
Jim.

And I was allowed to marry a Yorkshire lass and her relatives and friends bought me drinks!!:eagerness::very_drunk: But to a man (and woman) everyone “glass half empty”.:eek: Think Al Read, ( if you’re old enough) who although a Lancastian, portrayed a perfect example of Northern pessimism.

We are not that bad, but we have our reputation to keep:very_drunk:

Mr. Merry
What’s the difference between a Yorkshireman and a coconut?
You can get a drink out of a coconut.

Looks and sounds like it could be quite amusing. Lets hope we get to see it.

Slow news day, probably. Just filling in time until the Dornier is deconstructed. I mean salvaged.
And I know that the brewers are waiting in the wings (no pun intended) with snappy ads to be rushed out once it breaks the surface. We should have a catchline-competion, here!
Obviously #”Spitfire” and #”downed” must have an obligatory mention.
“Raising a ‘Spitfire’ is easier than raising a Dornier….” ??
“Downing a ‘Spitfire’ and Raising a Dornier”….?
Groan.

What would happen if he objected?
After 30 years of friendship it’s not an issue. Had he objected I wouldn’t have called it the Pakasani shop. It would have been the Bangladeshi shop, after all thats where he is from.

More PC correct dribble. Poles and the Irish have a great sense of humour. I doubt any offence will be taken.
I’m a Yorkshire man and the times I get slanged off for being tight you would’t believe, but so what.
Before you compare us Yorkshire folk to the Scots, don’t bother.
We tried to teach them how to be, hmmm frugal, OK tight. Forget it the Scots will never get the idea, it’s not in their nature.
BTW, I can peel oranges in my pocket.
Please stop taking offence at stereotypes, that’s al they are. It’s all tongue-in cheek.
We should be able to able to poke fun at others without been lambasted, as long as it is done with humour way with no malace.
PC correct peeps take cover, I have used the same shop for over 30 year and I still call it the **** shop. Is that racist?
The owner doesn’t think so and I don’t either.
