The A to Z List: Part IV, the North East

The Humour Desk

1. Turnpike Lane

Around the late 60s, Turnpike Lane witnessed the en masse immigration of Cypriot communities to this Leafy district of North London. The traditional Greek Turkish conflict over the Mediterranean island now becoming irrelevant in their new home, the Cypriot community worked together and their previous animosity diminished. Today the two traditional communities, acting as one, act like general cunts to anyone of any other nationality, and treat the newly established Polish community like shit, defying the UK Government’s laws on minimum wage together.

2. Manor House

As above. Swap ‘Cypriot’ for ‘Kurd’ and you’re laughing. But they’re not. They hate each other.

[Er, wrong kind of North East -Ed]
