As a Barnsley emigrant
I moved away and picked up a habit for red wine and got an idea of roughly which kinds I liked.

The wife and I returned to Barnsley to live for a bit, popped in the boozer and optimistically asked what kind of wine they had.

The answer, red and white.

I think this is only a Barnsley/Small town problem though, in Leeds we have a blissful array of choices.

PS. Stay down south we dont want any southern riff raff up here

One of my friends used to own an off license in Muswell Hill.
He had two very excited Northern customers in there one day, raving on about this incredible wine they'd had on holiday and it was so nice they wrote the name down and did he stock it or could he order it in for them etc etc. They handed him a grubby scrap of paper on which was written...

Does not surprise me
in the least.

Was one out with a girl who asked the wine waiter for Lambrini.

God she was classy

I vaguely remember the first time I heard that - was it The Two Ronnies? Or a Carry On?

Yeah, being born in Doncaster I don't think I qualify as "southern riff raff"
Though it is slightly more southern than Barnsley

Barnsley
is the north pole so yes you do count.

And you've most likely been contaminated by association

Eh, I've lived in Doncaster, Barnsley and Leeds, as well as the West and East Midlands and now the south
and I don't think there's enough money in the world to pay me to go back north

So you've only ever lived in the south then?
