Unlike the North.
For example Cockermouth, referred to by some as Nobgob.

Re: The UK Flag

I was wrong there it isn't Newport Pagnell it is Stony Stratford where the two old coaching inns are on either side of the Watling Street. One is The Bull and the other is The Cock, passengers from the stagecoaches would alight here and swap unlikely stories, hence Cock and Bull tales.

Not in Townsville, Bruce
My son is Chief Photographer for The Townsville Bulletin and has had a fair bit to do with the Cowboys over the years.
Haven't spoken to him about this but I suspect that "jubilation" would be the word of the day.
