Sounds like he could have some cat-genes being fond of tuna (and cheese)!Originally Posted by John the Monkey
My grandfather came from Lancashire but he never talked about it.
I'll have to look out for Lancashire Black Bomb cheese at the supermarket.

So, my little hint was not obvious enough then, eh? Well, let me put it that way: I research what occupies the British citizen by far the most, day in and day out; only I am more interested in the long term... Can you guess now? :-)
Well I don't live in Manchester, but its easier to say near it than to say Todmorden. Not many people know it although after the horse meat thing more people will now! As for the football thing I'm not really into it but I grew up down south and supported United, my dad still supports City and now my wife has turned me into a Burnley supporter!! Confused yet?!
Ahhh yes the horse meat scandal! It gets a little mention on the news here but not a lot as we don't use the same meat suppliers. The only reason I know about it is that I get AP and Reuters news feeds. Nope, not quite confused yet.
I have no idea in the slightest!
What occupies us day in and day out? Biscuits...

British blood/ancestry but Canadian heart/passport. Really though I'm more of an Earthling.
No one told me there was an earthling in this forum. Not sure how to process that.
The weather...
Hmm, researching biscuits... That's a thought, though.

Lol the weather!! Seems obvious now you say it! I'm currently researching ginger biscuits, they seem very good but may need to 'test' a few more!

Weather is now obvious! Lol. Metrology I take it.

Yes, meteorology. I am a climate scientist.
But now that I heard about researching biscuits I wonder if I should "broaden my field of expertise". That sounds like a fascinating subject...
Biscuit scientist is a great job, I partook in an experiment today:
After 7 hours of pointing a wall, which biscuit provides the most satisfying accompaniment to a coffee: ginger nuts, choccie digestives or bourbon? So far the results are inconclusive, further studies are required.

I have three, one of which loves cheese, here in east Cheshire.

I'm just going to hang out in here and eavesdrop. I'm an unapologetic anglophile with family ancestry in Manchester, Whitby, York and I think Liverpool. I've been across the pond three times, but obviously that's not enough!
Surely the bourbon ones are pulling ahead. I love those... too bad the Americans don't make an equivalent, that and garibaldi's.
Bourbon's would probably be my winners, hold up better to dunking than the other two!!
I'm not sure, Toffer, the ginger nuts seem to hold up really well!

Not a dunker myself, but oh for some bourbon's. *daydreams*
We'll have to set up an exchange, inks for British biscuits
