John Presscott (who I am a fan of) doing a programme on BBC now about north south divide. I hate programmes like this, they will just interview the usual type of people who will say "soft southerners", "northern monkey", and all that shite!


Same as Prezza's programme about class, it's all very outdated, which is his main problem. Shame because he is a good man, and very bright, but such a bloody relic from a time of class and unions, which frankly doesn't exist anymore (for better or worse).

What it comes down to is a Rich / Poor divide - you see this localised all over the country. North / South is just a lazy tabloid grabbing headline - but of course no one is interested to hear that Yorkshire snobs looks down on those in the London slums.


As for Prescott, I think he is more a rabble rouser than someone who was ever fit to lead.

    • There's not enough people talking about this - I've often worried about it too  One busy staff's mistakes will not make my pockets lighter, thank you very much. Thanks Sue and all the best for the new year. 
    • I don't want to name a shop, but I have twice at this busy time of year had an issue, and yesterday was overcharged when buying a number of small things. If you are using a shop which doesn't give an itemised receipt, or doesn't give a receipt at all, just be aware that it might be a good idea to check that you are not paying over the odds (and if using cash, that you are given the right change for what you handed over). When staff are busy they might make mistakes.
    • As I had a moan on here about the truly abysmal Christmas meal we had at The Cherry Tree last year, I am redressing the balance by saying we had a really excellent Christmas meal at Franklins last night. Every course was absolutely delicious and  really well cooked. The staff were lovely despite being exhausted and run off their feet. In particular, my sea bass was a large portion and cooked to perfection, in stark contrast to the small dried up portion The Cherry Tree provided, from which I was barely able to scrape a teaspoonful of flesh (that is not an exaggeration). And our Franklins meal cost less than half what we paid at The Cherry Tree (to be fair, that was on Christmas Day so the Cherry Tree costs would have been higher, but that doesn't excuse the appalling quality meal). Thank you again to Franklins for restoring our faith in eating out at Christmas!
