Why no thornback talk north of the Thames

Posted: Mon Mar 09, 2009 8:21 pm

Hi all you northerners, I and The Shadow had a try for thornbacks on Isle of Sheppy today venue called Barton point in Minster photos below.

We were so busy with all the activity (we both blanked) we got talking about why when south of the Thames it's all talk about thornbacks, north of the Thames no discussion, the question we asked ourselves is do thornbacks not cross the Thames or is it that you lot just keep silent!!!

So come on someone give us some info winking
