Book description
Ey up, it's not only footie, pints and pies that are better up north
- the humour also takes some beating. Whether it's comics like Peter
Kay, Les Dawson and Victoria Wood, telly shows like Corrie and
Open All Hours, or writers like Alan Bennett and Keith
Waterhouse, the funniest and best-loved invariably hail from the land
of perpetual drizzle (another thing they do better).
This grand collection of northern wit is packed with these
favourites and more. Likely lads and lippy lasses cast a wry eye on
subjects close to the heart of every northerner, including - brass,
grub, graft, courting, cricket, tittle-tattle and t'weather - adding
up to a feast of northern hilarity.
Born and raised in the North, Rosemarie Jarski's bestselling
humorous quotation books include The Funniest Thing You Never Said,
Great British Wit and A Word from the Wise.
