    I think this sums the North Up.

        On a tangent - ask him to explain why Dassault Rafale continues to p*ss all over the Typhoon in export sales?

                  Not quite sure what you're trying to do. I suppose if this was Canada you'd be called me a redneck. Sadly that insult has lost all its effect..similarly. But do keep trying.

                    What makes you w4nkers think that the only places in the north are Manchester and Liverpool?

                      If you want to create something like London, then think on those lines.

                      To replicate various bits of London, I would suggest creating a sort of triangle or a square comprising of:
                      • West London equivalent = Leeds
                      • East London equivalent = Bradford
                      • North London equivalent = North Yorkshire
                      • South London equivalent = South Manchester and Scunthorpe.


                      Central London = Hebden Bridge

                      Now all you cretins find a map and join those dots and tell us what you see.
