Not quite correct. North Berwick is a village in Scotland, on the coast SE of Edinburgh. Completely different place to the border town of Berwick-upon-Tweed which is the place left off the list of territories that Her Britannia Majesty reigned over in the peace treaty that ended the Crimean War.


I'm afraid that is simply an urban myth.....

The BBC programme Nationwide investigated this story in the 1970s, and found that while Berwick was not mentioned in the Treaty of Paris, it was not mentioned in the declaration of war either. The question remained as to whether Berwick had ever been at war with Russia in the first place. The true situation is that since the Wales and Berwick Act 1746 had already made it clear that all references to England included Berwick, the town had no special status at either the start or end of the war.

I went up to the game and my god, they were absolutely awful.

Berwick deserved to go down. Abysmal performance.

Players were beyond lazy, didn’t look bothered one bit. Credit to the Cove fans, about 400 of them. Made some noise and had a right good urine up it seemed.

Ah the shame! I've been out-pedanted on a history question.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Was Paul Linwood playing for Berwick?

Very little danger of that in Peterhead. As you were.

Fair weather glory hunters I reckon Andy. Only one coach came down to Auchinleck for our Scottish Cup replay.


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.
