North v South
 
I'm not too sure how it happens but it seems that the folk in our local bar always take sides, the Northerners against the Southerners.

Tonight's 'discussion' was centered on George Formby and I insisted that he had a ukelaleh, pardon the spelling, which was round. The Southern crowd say that it was like a small guitar. I've done a search but it seems a little conflicting.........someone help me out!!

not sure myself, but leaning on a lampost at the corner of the street waiting for a lady would get you nicked these days!

He played a ukelele. He was famous for it. Very northern.

He played both types of instruments that you describe.

It's in another thread as well, but his wife was a clog dancer from Accrington.

Lol, Rindy x

My Grandfather was a clog dancer in Accrington too and my Nan loved the George Formby films...........thanks for your help. Don't think I'm going to win the argument but at least I can agree to differ.
