Is there still a North/South divide?

I lived in Yorkshire for the first five years of my life. Fortunately it has not scarred me too much, apart from the urge to wear flat caps, and not trust Lancastrians.:eek:
 
Had a four day golf tour on the Wirral last week. I tend to consider most of the North 'grim' but there are some very nice places around Hoylake and Caldy.

We had a night out in DownTown Liverpool. Jeez!! There are some scary women about there :eek:

Don't worry friend they couldn't of rubbed off on you to much.
You wouldn't of been able to keep yer hands out of your pockets long enougth to type that if they had.:lol:
 
I thought you hailed from the affluent suburb of Newton Mearns?

I would have expected the middle classes to behave better and have a better education to slump to such lows!

Well we started off in Mount Florida and we weren't so middle class. But the attitudes seem to prevail regardless. They pretend they are not serious but you just know that there is a strong element of what is really thought and felt in there.
 
We only got took around the gay bars so didn't see any honeys ;)

You guys were the honeys......
Ive always loved nights out in Liverpool. The women look like they've spent all day getting ready, while the blokes look like they've come straight from the bookies.
 
Answer to the OP - Yes the beer taste fupping awful down here - it's worth driving 200 miles home just for a decent pint!

What's wrong with a decent London Pride and lots of pubs have special pull guest barrels on. Seen Doombar now in a few also in around the capital.

My first flat was in Bolton Drive.

That sounds a bit like Aberdeen where you can go out in a boiler suit and you'll still see someone worse dressed than you!

I suppose its down to what your palate gets used too... Absolutely nothing wrong with Fuller's ales [when served correctly obviously]... When Young's brewed in Wandsworth I found their ales very acceptable... Not so sure about them now they are brewed elsewhere...

While abroad I saw a car with a sticker saying 'I MISS LIVERPOOL'. So I smashed a window, stole the radio & left a note saying 'I hope this helps' :thup:

A sparkler cookelad, thats the answer.The next time you come home ask the landlord if he has a spare one you can have, and take it back to Greenwich with you.Not sure why but bitter just don't taste right without a head on it. ;)

Stanmore Road (158 sadly now demolished - it was propped up to stop it sliding down the hill even when wee lived there). Dead handy for climbing over the perimeter wall to play in Hampden - you couldnae do that wi Wembley - clearly another indication of the N/S divide.

Landlady is my Mum!

Actually think the problem is water based, and it's a residue left over from the water used during line cleans - If I was taking on a pub down here I'd be transporting water in for the 1st couple of cleans as a test! (or getting a rook of Brita filters!)

I wish my mum was.:lol:
You might be onto something though, they have hard water down sarf,(only thing that is :whistle: ) were as we have soft water up here.
