I thought that was a Stafford / Stoke thing, Herself is from that area and I get called it all of the time, especially since we just came back from there a few weeks ago

Hollands meat and potato pie, chips, mushy peas and gravy
And duck is a north midlands sort of thing, mainly derby/staffordshire, not manchester
Then there is the good beer (lots of little breweries around there ), the women are easy, ooops thats meant to be nice to talk to
Its a good night out and you dont have to jump on any underground before 11:30pm and pay a fortune in taxi's
Coronation street is filmed there (im not sure if thats good or bad )
Its home to THE best subaru garage in the UK (Prosport)
And loads more stuff but my battery will probably be dead before I finish it all
