Burger off, ya southerner!

Nah then old luv, tha can tell poncey Martin Fitz-gibbons to stop coming up here slagging-off our Northern burgers (Long-term test, August). “Britain’s best biking burger is at the Bike Shed” at more than £13? ARE YOU MAD? That’s the deposit on a house in Doncaster.

Who pays that for a burger? I’ll tell you who... the same silly buggers who pay £1300 for a textile jacket and trousers, that’s who. Martin says; “Squires was busy for a weekday.” That’s because there’s no jobs up here and all we have to do is ride some of the best biking roads in the world, then call in at Squires for a burger or bacon sarnie.

It may be grim up North, but it’s cheap. Up here the only ‘Hipsters’ are trousers (ask your Dad). Brian Newbold
