Nice Plug

[Boomstick]

Btw, could someone explain this plug business to me? It all seems very strange to have a funny little square thing in the middle of one's currency...

The tin farthings and halfpennies had a copper plug in the centre to deter forgeries.

Black puddings from Bury market or tripe beat jellied eels any day. Though if I was abroad (or south of the Watford Gap), I'd still eat them. Not all foreign food is bad.

And to get it back on topic - just about anything is more palatable than the tin farthing served up at the beginning of this thread.

Up North, wasn't that put there to keep the scots out.

I think you will find that the North was put here to protect all the Southern woofties from the marauding tribes in the North, West and Scandanavia. Any good officer knows that you always put the hard lads at the front in a fight

Hide behind the northerner phah.

Picture this, a bunch of burly scots tribesmens all pained blue (Rangers supporters) coverting the south as they had heard what a fair green land it was full of milk and honey. They get as far a Middlesbough and think "what the f..." and all go home again. Job done.

They never went to the Boro Gary, that's why the A1 exists

Besides I'm a Durham lad originally so they had to get through us first and even during the Bonnie Prince Charlie "the Forty Five" fiasco they decided to go down the West (Carlisle was a doddle) to miss out the boys Wise choice or he would never have reached Derby!
