The Ben Stokes fight video....

Hmmm. That is exactly the sort of story I'd circulate if my client had been caught punching someone on CCTV

He does come from Cockermouth

He does come from Cockermouth

Yes. A simple mishearing could explain why he was in an alley outside a club with a couple of gay chaps.

[Burney]

He is the heavily tattoed son of New Zealand rugby player who grew up and still lives in the Northeast - posher than most Irish people but certainly not a posh cricket type

Point of order: Cockermouth is very much not in the North East.

I expect he will get done though will be softly dealt with in respect of having a clean record – and being a posh boy cricket type.

A three figure fine and some community service which in his case will be facilitated into sports coaching sessions whereas others are dealt with differently and are forced to help paint premises in Muswell Hill and to sweep leaves and generally act as a fúcking dogsbody in a Scout park or some nonsense in Bounds ****ing Green.

Bounds Green isn't so bad. At least it has a tube.

Its all the same though, isn't it. Its the North. THe East-West bit is just something northerners bang on about. None of our business.

The north-west has the nicest bits - mountains and lakes. The north-east has Sunderland.

North East also has Northumberland which is stunning... North West has Blackpool
