Thicker how?Rambuchan said:
Come on, spit out the cheap Chardonnay and jellied eels and explain yourself.

No, then they'd be using the term "fatty" (also used in reference to fries), "thick" is probably more for their skulls than their waistlines.

How bloody rude! They may not be the brightest gals on the planet but there's no need to call them all fatty!IglooDude said:

Scotland, for all intents and purposes, is a whole other country and therefore doesn't count.
We did have this argument before and you lost it. Greater Manchester is right next to Derbyshire

None of which are above Manchester
Also, take a ride on the M6 and you'll see 2 signs:
- THE NORTH: Manchester, Liverpool, Lancaster, Leeds
- THE SOUTH: Who gives a flying f***? You are going the wrong way.
So if you are not pseudo-poncey-French does that mean you're just Poncey-French?Rambuchan said:Prince: Chardonnay and Jellied Eels? I'm not some pseudo-poncey-French wanna-be Eastender you know!

See, Hero's got the idea! When we grumble about someone in Canada, there has to be at least 200km or a provincial (or national ) border between us before we start calling each other names.
