Nothing personal, Mrs P, but I'm from New Brunswick, and everyone knows there is something different about the "609 area code" people.

Agreed, and Im glad I am an 856er

Mrs. Peck you are a nut!!!
Now technically I do not live in northern Joisey....well originally I did...but where I live now is Central Joisey and right at this moment I am at our summer house which is really sort of southern Joisey.....and Ted it has a 609 area code!

And just to keep this Columbo related... I am watching Caution: Murder Can Be Hazardous To Your Health right at this moment.

Sorry to be the one to break this to you, but there really isn't a central Joisey! Theres only a Northern or Souther! The dividing line is somewhere around Trenton and Interstate 195. The only acceptable sub division is the Jersey Shore, which runs the entire coast line from Cape May to the nude beach at Sandy Hook.

Now you are confusing the heck out of me! Since I live down the shore....what is that? Northern??? On the news programs they always call it Central Jersey........Help me!!!!
And there you go again with Sandy Hook and the infamous nudie beach!!

Down the shore? That is the biggest misnomer Jerseyites have. When you go east or west you are going "over", when you go North you are going "up" and when you go South you are going "down".

The news programs are just looking for some idenitity. They are slave to North and South Jersey.

I still haven't gotten to Sandy Hook,its just too darn hot!

I never thought of it that way....we always say "down the shore" .....but you are right...it is "going over to"....oh dear!!! We go to Sandy Hook a lot, to have our Benny the Beagle run.....but we haven't hit Gunnison's Beach.

And again...I will say something about Columbo...we just watched Lovely But Lethal...and I noticed the cigarette pack is the same as in Caution: Murder Can Be Hazardous To Your Health.....the brand name is different...It is Victory in Caution...and Valiant in Lovely...but the logo on the pack is the same.

[We go to Sandy Hook a lot, to have our Benny the Beagle run.....]

Is that what you call it? My wife calls mine Teddy the Terminator


[but we haven't hit Gunnison's Beach.]

What are you waiting for? I like to go to Sandy Hook just to hang out



I think I would find it hard walking around Sandy Hook

I think you are acting more like Peck's Bad Boy rather than Mrs. Peck!! Teddy the Terminator?!?!?!? And you like to "hang out" there?!?!? You are a nut!

A plague on both your houses! If you're from above the Mason-Dixon line, you're ****yankees!

While not technically south of the Mason Dixon Line, parts of Southern New Jersey are geographically south of the Mason Dixon Line.

Oh Goodness gracious Mrs. Peck....what am I ever going to do with you?!!??! You are such a silly!!.....and it is great!!! Thanks!!
I don't think the Mason Dixon Line applies to me......so tell me Sir, what part of Jersey do I actually live in???? You have confused the heck out of me!!!

Oh....we watched Any Old Port In A Storm dvd today...it was so hot here..we couldn't go outside to do our crabbing....only caught one today.....but the episode was wonderful once again...we really enjoyed it...

You my good woman are in Northern New Jersey, home of the smelly oil refinieries on the New Jersey Turnpike. Unofficially anything north of Exit 8 of the Turnpike is Northern New Jersey.

Speaking of crabs, sometimes I wake up crabby in the morning, but most of the time I let her sleep

Ok Peck.....I am 105 off the Garden State Parkway...and where I am now, our summer place on the lagoon, is 63 off the Parkway......come on...I am sorta southern NJ...aren't I??
We used to live near the Turnpike when we first got married...it was horrible...it was the yuck-hole of New Jersey...and that is what most people think NJ is all about...all those chemical plants on the Turnpike.............but you and I know it is so much more than that.......and Ted knows too.....
And I know you don't mean to say that stufff about your honey being a crabby......she is probably a wonderful woman!!!......she is hooked up with you!!
I caught the biggest crab this week so far.....6 inches point to point!!!...I am so proud of myself!!! I know 6 inches doesn't sound too big but it is!!!! The minimum is 4 1/2....so I found the big guy!!!! I love it!!!

105...not even close to South Jersey, 63 is borderline, but close enough to be considered South Jersey. A quick rule of thumb for the Jersey Shore is "where are most of the vistors from?" New York? Then you are North Jersey! Philly? Then you are in South Jersey! Works for all shore points except AC, they are in a world of their own....

Ok then I think I am in!! Most of the "other" people are from Philly..even our next door neighbor here is from Philly......and the topper of it all is the fact that we don't have a lawn....it is all those pebbles....that is low-down southern shore!!

For a thread called "England" it seems very Americacentric. You yanks sure know how to take over stuff. (tee-hee)

Oh, I'm from Scotland, by the way.

We did sort of take over, didn't we?? We are so arrogant!!!

Thats because we drink our beer cold
