When you go out and eat but your tea is served on a slate tile, a plank of wood, out of and old tin can or car tyre. Served on anything but a normal dinner plate. Then charge you stupid money for the pleasure and add a service charge to your bill. Either that all you've got totally lost and ended up in York or Harrogate.

You can’t hear a northerner telling you how fucking fantastic it is living in the poorest part of the UK but it’s okay because they have “community spirit” and are friendly to everyone Southerners don’t say. They do.
