A person should have an opinion on everything, It becomes tact whether you reveal that opinion or not.

It was hot stuff in Ashby-de-la-Zouch!
I had a lovely pair of bags, yellow with red blue and black tarten. Wore them with a red tank-top and blue shirt I think - what a pity we didn't do selfies back then :shock:

Here's a page on Facebook dedicated to Northern Soul.

https://www.facebook.com/northernsoul.me.uk

It even advises you on how to be Northern!! :roll:
It seems even posh girls from Chestershire can be Northern if they follow the guidelines!!
Ashby de la Zouch is that in the North or is it in France? :?
