I'm spending the New Year in a village just outside North Allerton this year. Is there anything I need to be aware of?

I have sorted out the following already:
1.) Jabs
2.) Passport
3.) Northerner - English - Northerner phrase book.

I also watch Jeremy Kyle a lot.

Am I safe?

A Tracksuit, Base Ball Cap and some Burberry and you'd blend right in.

I would respectfully suggest that your well-known southern spirit of generosity is surgically removed before you make the journey. It will speed up the time taken to adapt to the new environment

Are they all a bit tight up there then Pete? I only thought the thrifty ones lived in Scotland?

You will need weed,speed and coke,maybe some ghb/gbl.Crack could also be useful,anything really to blot out the locals,the greyness and strange accents.

You need to talk about sheep.

A lot.

You also need to learn about the price of everything and the value of nothing...and almost cry into your bubbly beer every time someone mentions the price of anything.

And I'm very sorry, but you are going to have to brush up on yer cricket lad.

Despite that, North Allerton is a cracking place!

My Mrs hails from York.

No wonder William Wallace did not hang about there when he sacked the place

Im well used to Southerners stating anything slightly less South than them as being 'North'.

North Allerton is the only place in the UK where an earthquake will do improvements

The women are easy to pull just offer them 50p and half a pound of grapes. Grapes are exotic food for them but don't take bananas as they will consider that a proposal of marriage.

The men have a simple outlook on life....Drink Beer...Smoke Tabs.

Enjoy
