Subject: RE: BS: Newcastle Brown Ale not made in Newcastle
I'm always careful in cake shops in Derbyshire mainly due to an old scots mate of mine who after buying a bun asked the very lovely female assistant could he 'no have a poke' whereupon she slapped him on the face. A poke in Derbyshire/Northern England is a request for sexual gratification.... a poke in Scotland is a paper bag.
