Top Ten Things that Spring to Mind Whenever Someone Mentions the North of England
Usually when someone mentions England, people think of crumpets, tea, and the queen. I like all those things, but that's southern England. We do things differently in the North. Blackpool are pretenders by the way.The Top Ten
1 Greggs Bakery
My favourite place in the world. 30 in Newcastle alone.
2 Unintelligible Speech
Umm...being a true Southerner, I daren't say anything derogatory about their speech as they're extremely proud of their accents. I wouldn't use the word "unintelligible"...maybe... "incoherent" would be a more appropriately kinder word to use. The best Northern accent by far is Geordie.
3 Mushy Peas
4 The Tyne Bridge
5 Petrol Stations
6 Yorkshire Pudding
Yorkshire Puddings are probably the best thing in this country. I look forward to a Sunday roast so I can eat some of these.
7 Yorkshire
8 Terraced Houses
They do exist but they aren't a mile long on a steep hill.
Apparently these don't even exist in the south.
