    Well, maybe it was hurricane season?

    Pancakes are made from the same mix as Yorkshire pudding, not fekking cake, maybe the chef was just new?

    • Hey, just watched The Square Ball, apparently the Yorkshire accent is deemed the most intelligent.

        Ha ha been a while, could say not long enough. Waking up seeing four of everything and scraping the cold garlic sauce off a nice kebab, washed down with some strong tea. Usually followed by a bit of a chat on the old ceramic telephone. Happy days.

          • 'Now I'm not racist, but .....(extremely racist comment on the way)'
          Is it just us lot that do that or do other countries do it?
          There's a woman comedienne on Instagram who is an American with long experience living and working in "BIighty" as she called it once.
          She did a great piece on what the English *really* mean when they're polite in different social situations or on the telephone. She also compares the U.S. workplace with a British one. For instance,
          Boss:"May I have a word with you?" means Employee: "I'm getting the sack today!"
          Or
          Boss:"Borrow you for a moment?" means Employee: "Crap, my workday load has just doubled!"

          I think her handle has "holshunds" or "holhuds" in it.

          • I love baked beans, had them for breakfast today, and I love eggs, but not together. Now add some sausage add bacon to either and I’m near on in heaven, but don’t like cooked tomato or mushrooms in any form.

            There are two ways to be fooled, one is to believe what isn't true, the other is to refuse to believe that which is true.

                • My wife is from Lancashire, she use to say 'ming' all the time, and she means it in a sensory context. If something smells or tastes really bad, it mings. In Yorkshire we might say it hums, and if something is really bad turning moldy - "that could walk by itself!".
                  And if something stinks really bad, it's either "rank", or you would say, "you could cut that with a knife".

                    • This is a really interesting one - Yan, tan tethera (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yan_tan_tethera). Not sure how common it still is in the upland hill farming communities of northern England or if it will go 'extinct' in the future. Looking at the tables at end similar forms were used in the south as well as they all seem to originate from celtic

                        She’s Lancashire and you’re Yorkshire. Are either of you the black sheep of the family now Wick?

                            Avoid the water, salads, ice, etc. at all costs, but you don't need a menu when you order food, whatever they bring you, you will love it.
                            I was in Egypt for three weeks last October, from the pyramids in the north to Abu Simbel in the south, and most sites in between.
                            Egypt is a food lovers dream, but I did miss a good Tim Hortons coffee.
                            What's the deal with Tim Hortons, Wick?

                            They've opened a couple of branches here, but I've not tried them yet.

                            They don't look particularly appealing, but is the coffee of a decent standard?

                            I love really strong, black rocket fuel coffee!

                              here in md we have something called scrapple, which i believe is only a mid atlantic thing (although it seems like it should be a total southern thing). but its mainly a maryland thing.

                              what is scrapple? its what they sweep up off the floor after theyre done making sausage. and then its all ground together and sold in big cubes. you slice it and then fry it in a pan. its gray, has a kind of grittiness to it and tastes basically like bland low quality sausage. people absolutely love it here. I know i should too being a marylander and ive tried. god ive tried. but i just cant its some nasty shite.
                              That sounds a bit like a Scottish square sausage.

                              They are kind of a religion round here (although I personally don't worship at their altar)!
