Do you qualify as a northerner?

100% Northern, See Under My Kilt On A Windy Day

'And It Isnae A Wild Haggis'. .

 

95% northern me, somewhere near Middlesbrough!!, I was born and bred in Cheshire and now reside in Derbyshire

 

38% Northern, Oxford area......not a chance! I've lived in the north-west 21 years and you'll never eliminate the Essex girl in me. Family history traced back to 15th century Essex!

 

68% despite being born in Lancashire and living in Scotland for over 50 years. Must be the 11 years I spent in Surrey that have corrupted my score

 

82% york but im from manchester
I blame my score on the coat question,i would of scored 100% if id of answered it 20 yrs back as i never wore one then...my joints are now so paying the price!

 

I've been known to go for long periods without even owning a coat. I'll have a coat, it wears out, I chuck it, and then take ages to get round to buying a new one.

 

Same here ive not bought one for 4yrs now,i want a wax lined one with a fur hood but nobodys bothered to design many so i cant get hold of one!

 

I think this is @clueless1 's department Shiney he'll put you right

 

I can only guess what they mean by a proper geordie supper, because it depends on what era we're talking about. Could be pie, peas and gravy, with the peas on top of the pie then gravy over the lot. It could be a curry, these days it is a challenge to see who can manage a phal. Could be something entirely different.

One thing is for sure though. It will be a lot of food. Expect it to be like a main course at dinner, at least.

 

Or maybe a skinful of Newkie Brown?

 

Possibly both. That way its hard to blame the puking on one or the other.

Tip: If you drink newcastle brown ale, drink it direct from the bottle. It keeps its fizz, which is very important, because the fizzing sensation goes some way to masking the foul taste.

If you drink it direct from the bottle, beware of people wanting to play the newcastle brown ale trick on you. Especially if you are wearing good clothes and/or in close proximity to a meat head or the girlfriend of a meat head (or, seeing as its Newcastle, a girl meat head). The trick is you take another beer bottle or glass, and bang it firmly on the top of the newcastle bottle. Not so hard as to smash either, but hard enough to give it a sudden jolt. It is the shockwave that does it, not the actual motion, so it even works if the bottle is standing on a firm table. Nothing at all will happen.... for about 3 seconds. Then it just erupts in the most spectacular fountain. If someone does do it to you, my advice is to just stand back and let it go. People unfamiliar with the trick have a habit of panicking and sticking their thumb firmly over the top to hold the beer in. That doesn't work. The pressure is so great that it just sprays everywhere. The eruption will last for around 5 seconds from a full bottle, and will typically dispense about 1/3rd of the bottle's contents over anyone or anything that happens to be in the way.
