No, I thought it was a fruit  ;D

hhhaaaaahhhahaa  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

you don't know how happy that has made me Old Rowley...I read somewhere that St Helens (Heydock is in that district) is the most interbred town in England.....so this is just one more thing I can throw at OH when he is having a go at Mancs (Mancunians)

Well, what have I started here!
Since I started this thread I've had computer problems, and have only just got back on line.  Rather reminds me of the time when I was a student when I left a box of coloured chalks in the Gentlemen's Loo (no nickname for that required here...).  I had borrowed the chalks from a school I was doing some teaching practice in, and I'd noticed there was a blackboard for graffiti in the men's WC...
When I came back twenty minutes later, ALL the walls were completely covered in unrepeatable comments...
Anyway, just read a book about the history of Norwich, and their inhabitants are sometimes referred to as Norvicians (apparently....)

N.B. The example that got me started in the first place here was: "Taswegian" for someone from Tasmania, by the way.

I'm a Weegie myself but I'm surprised no one has mentioned Edinburgh yet - Edinburgers.
Wouldn't want to eat one.
Come to think of it, don't like to meet them either.   ;D ;D

I rather like the idea of Meles the badger, being a Womble ... they lived underground too, didn't they ?   Not that Meles does, of course ...

I grew up in Stockport, therefore making me a Stocktonian (which makes me ask what is a native of Stockton called? - -could cause some confusion there....)
