    Default AW: Does Britain exist to the north?

    I hear that the north is peopled more by the feared northmen than any true Britons.

    Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.

    I thought this thread was talking about Scotland?

    Or has it not been discovered yet by civilized peoples?

    I stayed one week in the region called Yorkshire. In the town of York, they had a museum where they had recreated the smell of Viking feces. Very interesting.

    Silly, Scotland is a made-up fairytale land filled with dragons and giants and Glaswegians and other such fantastical creatures.

    The idea of "North of Newcastle" is one of these nonsensical physical concepts, like "before the Big Bang" or "inside a Black Hole".

    I have heard of a land somewhere to the north devoid of sunshine and footballing talent.... i always assumed people were referring to newcaste...

    Any thing recent? and plus I do believe the Beatles were Liverpudlians, which is north of bristol, but not right up north, although I would forgive anyone without a map to think it was up north, and anyway, Britain Culturally is completely different everywhere, and quite similar at the same time, I never said they didn't have a culture up north, but its certainly different.

    Blackpool: Is their a pool? Yes, is it any good? No. Is it Black? Is it cos I is black? No?

    And it goes on from there.
    Now with transparent layers!

    Lost on the Internet? Go back to start.
