What it’s about
Northern Humour: because it’s fun to complain.
If Britain is the complaints capital of the world, then the North is surely the Houses of Parliament. It’s estimated (i.e., I just made this figure up right now) that over a billion people complain each day, 76% of them Northerners.
This blog is a Northerner’s outlook on the modern world in typical moaning fashion with a humorous slant on the culture of the complaint.
Retro Yakking is a frivolous mish mash of inane nonsensities comparable to those found in the Sun, combined with a Daily Sport-style gutter trash writing style… scraping the bottom of the barrel for cheap pseudo-”laughs”. — Daily Mail

☛ So why ‘Retro Yakking’?
Harry Yack, my miserable and hapless alter-ego constantly moans about how things were better in the past. I only let him out at weekends and holidays to go to the zoo.
