For us southerners the north begins at the Watford Gap (not Watford as is commonly supposed) which is in Northamptonshire. Also known as the Tripe Curtain. North of there folks live down coalmines, race whippets, keep ferrets down their trousers and eat black pudding and, of course, love tripe.

This extends quite a long way until you get to the Haggis Belt which, in theory, starts at the Scottish border though can extend south into tripe country.

What happens as you go west is best left to Offa, who built a dyke to keep out the wild Welsh and their sheep.

Prejudiced? Moi?

For the record, I neither live down a coalmine, race whippets, keep a ferret down my trousers, or love tripe. I do, however, eat black pudding and wear high heels

so we do have a little in common
