...Northern when:
You say "I like that, me" as though you're talking about anyone else
You have gravy on everything. Including gravy
You more often find a ferret in your pocket than a phone
You smile at strangers in the street and they don't look at you like you've flashed your tits
You find The Lancashire Hotpots less irritating every day

Common misconception "
The general view was a number of years ago, when a Scottish Chippie was announced in the media as having Deep Fried Mars Bars and Curly Wurlies on their menu.
Then other chippies across the UK have followed suit. |

What you know as a chip buttie is known as a Chip Barm elsewhere. Just different titles for the same thing! |

"There's nothing wrong with gravy on a chip barm.

Chip barm? Wtf is a barm!! It's a chip buttie "
They are two different things. A buttie is made with bread slices. A 'barm,' or barm cake, is a bread roll essentially. However, usually leavened with barm, foam formed on fermented alcohol, like beer or wine. Also the correct term to use, as declared by Mr Warbuton, a Lancashire born man, on his packaging |

"Smile at stranger's??
Why would you do that?
Next you'll be telling me you talk to people on the bus...
You posh folk never make eye contact "
Posh...posh...
Cor blimey and luv a duck.. Me, posh.. Yer avin a cold one me ol China. ([English subtitles]posh.. Your having a laugh my dear chum)
I was brought up by my uncle Fagin on the dirty streets of East London, downwind of bekton sewage works.. down wind or ill wind, it was the same both ways...
We were so poor we couldn't afford a house, we lived in a prefab but it was home to us.. Well, when I say it was a prefab, it'd had been bombed during the war and we lived in the septic tank in the hole in the ground..
If we wanted to go up in the world, it was a trip up the apple's n'pears for us, or go and stand on top of canning town flyover, although that was more like local support.. Well, most the local lags ended up in the concrete pillars of that flyover..
And you northerners with yer strange ways.. Gravy on everything.. yuk..
Its brown for starters, what's wrong with ya.. Everyone knows it's gotta be green..
Nothing like a bit of liquor on yer pie and mash with a side of jellied eels followed by alf a pint of whelks.
And as for talking with people, you ever wondered why they sell papers in the morning and evening in London? so you ain't gotta talk with or make eye contact with anyone on public transport..
Talk with a stranger on a bus..
I'd rather start a conversation with a guy at the next urinal or look another man in the eye while I eat a banana.. |

Its a buttie if there is sliced bread, a soft barmcake is a barm, a cob is crusty and a roll is like a mini french stick
We have brews and yes we take bloody sugar.
If you havent had black pea's and vinegar on bonfire night then you arent northern.
Dinner was acceptable to call any meal bar breakfast.
Real mancunians support united, city can piss off they are the pretenders (dont argue this with me I will bite)
We talk to random strangers even if its old men walking their dog at 5am when you roll in from a night out you still say Mornin' and comment on the weather! |
