Title: It's Grim Up North!
Post by: Doorman on February 24, 2003, 10:11:14 PM
Relocating in Northern England is good for business; lots of the starving
unemployed eager to work for a pittance of pay and daring not to complain or
they'll be out on the street with their dozens of screaming bairns, and
their benefits cut for six months.


· But are you really getting the most from them?


· Are they 'as much use as a chocolate teapot' when it comes to the
complexities of modern technology?


Research has shown that Northerners aren't as thick as they make out. They
just can't grasp the meaning of modern English.


That's why you need our new software package . . .

I think we can all laugh at Doormans post about Northerners. It fairly light hearted and obviously 'tongue in cheek'. However, in defence Northerners  I would like to point out that I consider the Metro Centre in Newcastle to be one of the cruelest jokes ever devised.

To build a huge site filled with a wide assortment of luxury goods in an area where to own your own pig is considerd to be the height of afluence is frankly twisted. And to add insult to injury they go and make most of it out of glass so the poor creatures can even see in!
