On being Northern

Whilst having tea, we noticed that some of the other tables were being given little packages to take with them when they left.

‘Oh, how lovely, you get a little present’.

A little later, we realised that these packages differed in size from table to table.

‘I don’t think it’s a present, I think it’s a doggie bag’

We looked at our plates.

‘We’re not going to get one, are we*? We’re Northern, and we’ve eaten everything, and asked for seconds!’

*we did get a tiny tin of tea each though.
