The Tenth Duke of Chalfont

Good God man, you were lucky to return alive.
By accounts north of Watford there is nothing but ice and snow for six months of the year, and nothing but mud for the remainder.
People from there are believed to be savages descended from a couple of apes that escaped London Zoo some 150 years ago.
Having said all of the above, I am myself of an adventurous spirit, I have my rifle by my side and a knapsack in the attic, and I'll join you on a little expedition! |

The phrase is often mis-quoted as "north of Watford" but in reality it should be "north of the Watford Gap" which is actually 50 miles further up the M1.
There is plenty north of the Watford Gap, including a lower cost of living, more relaxed lifestyle, and less wankers! |

Life actually begins north of Watford. The further you go the better it is. |

Hetherington was a wise fellow, knowing better than to drive you up here......you might not have enjoyed your visit!
Perhaps, as a reward, he could have half an hour off today. |

I once lent a book called 'James Herriots Yorkshire' to a friend in London so she could show it to her friends. Apparently, (and I find this mind boggling) they didn't believe that there were such things as green fields and trees in the north of England. Just how stupid can people be? The set of Eastenders looks very grotty but we in the north have more sense than to think that all London is like that. Get out more and visit places. Every county has beautiful scenery.
Try The
Yorkshire Dales
Lake District
Derbyshire
Staffordshire
Cheshire
Northumberland
To name just a few. |

Yes - it is a place that has replaced 'The West'. That is to say that as far as our politicians at Whitehall are concerned 'The frozen North' is also an embarassment to the cosy 'South-East'.
Years ago the West started at Reading and finished at Bristol. Now it starts at Acton and finishes at Southall.Beware O wise and wonderful one if you go North or West you are in great peril - of finding real people who can talk and have a sense of humour ! |

Actually, most of the country is North of Watford - in fact, some of the nicest people, places and scenery are north of Watford - maybe one day you should try going further North. I live up in Stockton on Tees, near Middlesbrough - and i love it! |

'Er indoors!!

Heaven forbid!!!! You might have found people with manners, a sense of humour, charisma, and A LIFE!!!!! |

I wouldn't go there if I was you, the natives are dangerous, If, however, you do go, then the correct attire will be needed, A flat cap, brown shoes, white silk scarf, 20 Woodbine's, a whippet, a copy of the SUN in your right hand coat pocket and a bag of chips. Such phrases as 'ee by gum' and 'rayht gradely me duck' can be proffered but ensure you remove the plum from ones mouth first. Beer ( Boddingtons)has to be consumed and an alarming rate i.e. 25 to 30 pints per night and you must still be able to walk. Bon Voyage ! |

Your new driver experienced the mirror image.
It's as it sounds. A reflection of the south, but shown through a dirty,grubby mirror.
Everything is in reverse hence the funny way they talk like! |

Yes there is life after Watford but its not what you think of as life, we all wear flat caps and hide our kids in bed draws and yes its full of coal tips and mill chimney's. |

Yes I have heard people say it's a very dark place inhabited by people with strange customs and an incomprehensable language |
