(as in taken up the lonin) cumbrian for lane.

E is for Eeeee. As in Eeee by 'eck.

I is for Inebriation. Because you northern monkeys are always wasted.

K is for Kelvin, the temperature scale one has to use during a northern winter.

L is for luck. The difference between northerners and southerners.

N is for notoriety. Just because London is one of the most crime ridden cities in the developed world doesn't change the prevailing southern opinion that northerners are violent, thieving gits.

O is for obscurity. As far as the rest of the world is concerned England stops at Watford and is all southerners, drinking tea and playing cricket. As far as the news is concerned the North doesn't exist either, as evidenced by the coverage of the floods a few years back. Floods in the south, saturation news coverage, floods in the north, little mention before the footie scores.

Q is for the Queen. She is also the queen of the north of England too, but you'll never see her up there, even if there's a giant flood. Her mother famously didn't understand why people in Manchester wanted to be poor.

Y is for the Yeti. He lives in Wakefield and smells like a wet dog. Also for York, a city that used to matter before Britain became the life support system for London.

I like being my own worst enemy, because I know where I live and what I'm going to do next.

Thanks for the replies all. I have much to be getting on with.

I've already got lots of colloquialism-type entries, as well as drinking ones, and cold ones.

Hmm. Well these might be interchangeable. By which I mean if you've got a cold reference for I dunno, C, then maybe you have something else that can go in C and you can use K for your cold reference.

How about Eccles Cake for E?

I have Baps and Greggs and Mushy Peas. It's at risk of getting too foody. I'm just a horrible perfectionist

But I might do some swapping about.
