"At least I'm not southern" eh?
At lease we get to keep our wheels on our cars when we drive them into the city. We realise that chips are meant to go with fish, and not gravy or butties. Ponies are for riding not shoving down pits and so on.
Everyone like to have a go at Southerners but everyone wants to live down here. Half the bloody government are Scots!

4x4's... what's that, the front end of a Datsun Sunny welded to the back end of Ford Transit? Down here we call them Chelsea Tractors and they are all driven (sic) by women who can't drive. Watch them trying to park in Waitrose (that's like a posh version of Morrisons dear) and it's the most entertaining half an hour you can get.
I thought Northerners only knowledge of Polo was that you sucked one whilst wondering what happened to the bit in the middle.

"A Mad Southerner" is that mad as in hatter or mad as in spitting feathers..... A quaint northern pastime by the way!! As for the Ghost Hunt... well plans are starting to form with regards to an investigation into another part of the Tolson Mill site.. Simon G has had some reports passed on to him that have been a bit, ney very interesting. Anyroadup... We need to gather out thoughts and get some fine rocking in before we make any firm plans. Don't forget the SPI's offer to come along and investigate your neck of the woods, you never know Mutley & I may even choose to feature your spooky spot for an OB..... We totally deny the rumors that we are going to investigate the dark murky depths of Ben Fletcher's Wallet.. we're brave but not that brave.... Cheers Prog Paul

Ocado... Waitrose home delivery! Is that because as a w driver you'd never navigate your way to the store!
Anyway, let us know then the next Ghost Hunt is and we'll all come up and show you that we are not afraid of the dark!

You'd be surprised what we have up here Mr/s Mad Southerner!! We do have Waitrose (both store and home delivery) branches of Ikea and John Lewis; We have several of the finest cities in the country (at last count I think you had just the one ;D) In Cheshire, we have more millionaires than any other county and our most famous one owns most of London. True, some of us enjoy gravy with our chips, but we also know that fish and chips are best served with Manchester caviar, and you can rest assured that we leave eels where they belong!!

Forget The North (It's grim up there) or The (Nampy Pampy) South, Life's much grander in the Midlands, The Heart of the Country. and we've got ghosts!!!. I'm up for another ghost investigation, I managed to struggle through the last one sat in the warm studio with Simon eating sausage rolls & cheese sandwiches, (courtesy of The Tea Lady: thanks) whilst Mr Baker & co wander around pitch black 200 year old cotton mills in the freezing cold

Rub it in why don't you Ralph? One bloomin' sausage roll was all that was left when the 'investigators' returned, cold, tired and hungry.. it bites when the studio crew have scoffed all of the grub, and they hadn't got the kettle on!! If you're up for another investigation, does that mean you'll be venturing out into the cold, dark night with us then Ralph? Go on you know you want to... Prog Paul

What is ghostly is that the pic I posted has got bigger (ooh err) - you can actually see it without a telescope or a screen the size of a football stadium monitor. So, is this someone in Arfm being kind (and invisible) to a novice - or is it ....... (pause for effect) then puts K-Tel spooky noises CD in slot, as in: whooooooo (and other kind of Stephen King type noises)-No not farts, you know the kind of thing, hooting owls and creaky floor boards / doors / knees etc). Dry ice fills the room and.... oh hang on the kettle is boiling, about bloomin' time too!

As for all the southener vesus northerner, I had my childhood in Wiltshire where even London was kind of up north and then I ended up in the Midlands (near Narnia). I had a Scottish Dad and an English Mum so I was half Scottish and half English. (ooh err) My Dad told me that Hadrian was a Scotsman who built the wall to keep the Romans out. Can this be true? What this has got to do with this thread I have no idea.... erm I think I best go. (Boatman sneaks off head down)

i thought Hadrian was a roman who built the wall to keep the Scots out cos he feared them attacking. It was later thought that it was some posh bloke called Adrian who built it to stop the Mighty Tartan Army from crossing the border to take up all the seating and standing sections at Wembley when Scotland played England. Sadly his plan failed miserably and the Scottish fans took Wembley anyway and even began the reconstruction work in 1977
