Just tongue in cheek banter,as a Lancashire lad myself there,s nowt much wrong with Yorkshire folk............just as long as they stay over their side of the hill

 

Nice to see some good old British banter .

Oldham and the surrounding towns used to be the industrialized areas of Lancashire,now those days are sadly gone,to describe the same areas now the term "ghettos" is more appropriate

 

Luckily I,ve escaped

It's not all bad

 

Pints of Sam Smith's Old Brewery Bitter at 84 TBT (1.90) and roasting my arse in front of a proper Yorkshire coal fire. Grand!

How much is the Sam Smith's dark mild these days Grouse?

 

Nearly five years ago I used to drink it in Deptford at 1.85 a pint. Very very cheap.

Only because my family is here, otherwise the UK continues to provide well for us. UK has been good to me over the years and I have no reason to depart until all is in place and I am fully ready to do so.

I still have many friends and family in the UK, most are doing very nicely thank you, I get to miss some of the winter months by visiting my home in Thailand so the UK is not really too bad for me weather wise.

In short....life is good

Well there is good and bad everywhere it is not all good news here is it? In my location the late rains have made this a bumper year for mosquitoes, some of my Thai friends are complaining they cannot watch TV at night they must retire early under the mosquito net!!

Tameside and Oldham are hardly in the north of Britain.

 

Of course they are - they're past Gloucester. Everyone knows it gets dark early once you get past Gloucester......

And if you turn left there you end up in Wales! Strange place that , rains a lot and all the blokes gang up and sing at you.

 

Anyway they're definitely up near Scotland somewhere! 

 

 

This post of course was made from the perspective of Somerset, the county which has everything : a mountain (Dunkerry Beacon), flatlands ( The Levels), an ancient city (Bath), a modern metropolis ( Taunton) and the place that time forgot (Bridgewater). Not to forget really good cider and cheese.......
