Up North

Charles Jennings

The North.
Where does it begin? Where does it end? And is it all whippets black pudding and queer folk going rounds saying "There's nowt so queer as folk"?
Fresh from the PJ O'Rourke School of Diplomatic Journalism southern jessie Charles Jennings finds himself in need of Answers. With something approaching trepidation Jennings packs his big girl's blouse in a suitcase full of prejudice and ventures fearfully into the great melting-pot that is the North of England - undergoing in the process a series of life changing experiences such as being mistaken for an exhibit at the Wigan Pier: Where History Comes Alive! Museum and voluntarily attending a concert featuring Roy Walker.

Scandalous astonishingly rude scabrously funny Up North presents the quintissential northern experience.
