Thats a lot worse than a northern accent :lol:

How rude. I actually don't have an accent anymore (until I go back for a visit), that's living down south for you.

You're a bit touchy, why would you want to get rid of your brummie accent, unless you agree with me of course :D

I do agree with you. I hate the brummy accent, terribly common.

I once spent a very drunken night in Sheffield, asking every barmaid I came across whether or not they owned a kestrel.

Two things -

1. None of them did.

2. I survived without being physically assualted.

I stand corrected it was Rooowllland.

Bloke who owned my local was a blue nose

I'm in on a northern Jet2Ski meet up but would prefer Chill Factore to Castleford really. I'm from Lancashire (like MFC)and proud of it. I live close to the Pennines, the Trough of Bowland (the Queens favourite AONB)& South Cumbria where I can be found walking the Wainwrights and sailing a boat on Windermere most weekends. Oh and did I mention I'm less than a two hour drive from the Snowdonia National Park and the beautiful North Wales Coast. The only downside is that when I go skiing I have a 5 hour drive to Dover....

Please find a quiet corner then... the rest of us don't wish to be put off our beer...

But location wise if it's to attract as many from 'oop North as possible then people may say Castleford is more accessible ...

The trouble with Oop Norf is that it is actually a very big area! I'd be interested in a Castleford meet up - Manchester would be too big a distance for me.

Just for the record I am a true Geordie without a Geordie accent! Bit gutted as I love the Geordie accent! Elocution lessons should be banned!

Good news that some of you think this is also a nice idea. But as Wickers has said organising such a get together isn't plain sailing! So if you fancy it let me know when is a good time and we can see what we can arrange. I am very lucky as my sister lives in Manchester and I can be totally flexible. Just going to have to work on those thighs sooner than I thought- should have taken up bowling- much less hassle!

Clubman- I can also do Castleford as well as Chill Factore. How up north are you?
