I remember a Michael Parkinson anecdote about a nativity play he attended oop north, where the Virgin announced to Joseph as he returned home, "The Infant Jesus has been a right little bugger today."

Blooming heck. The season of goodwill gets everywhere.

I wonder if one of the men was having a thing with the wife of the other one.
But then again, that's just me.

And these are so called adults who are supposed to set an example to their children.

is it any wonder some children grow up to be the little thugs that they later become, with parents like this?

[jackthehat]

I don't believe it!!

I thought the man in the white hat was always 'The Goodie'.....!!!??

[atrollope]

Theyre Geordies,man...probably bin at the Broon Bottle..;-)

Hope none of the parents decided to take a photo of the children in the play, makes them instant perverts apparently.

Did somebody not explain what 'Finger food' means?

[missprim]

I think this happened because the child belonging to the man in the white hat didn't get a lead role! I can see this happening between Leanne and Sunita in Coronation Street :-)

atrollope,Since when have South Shields people been classed as "Geordies"? I have lived in the North-East for 71 years and never heard them referred to as "Geordies".

[atrollope]

Sand Dancers then...sorry ;-)

[Everhelpful]

That's more like it.!!

I've just reread Gervase Phinn's A Wayne in a Manger, very funny and worth the read.

Next thing in the NE, they will be serving "Handwiches." A new range of products for Greggs perhaps..
