Northerner Hospital
Audrey Spong writes," Dear Doctor, my Northerner seems to have developed 'Alien Hand' syndrome, he just can't keep his hand still, he's always fiddling about and disappears off for half an hour or so. It's got so bad I need a wallpaper scraper just to open 'Horse and Hound', please help as his eyesight is now affected and he keeps bumping into furniture, it's too distressing...."
"It seems more and more of you write in these days, over your Northerner suffering from 'Alien Hand' syndrome, in it's adolescent phase " Writes GP David Gimbal-Scrote. " Usually plenty of long walks and a colonic irrigation reduce the problem, I believe IKEA now do a mains pressure-washer in color co-ordinated hues.">

NORTHERNER APPEAL
As more and more Northerners are being abandoned by callous owners in the SE, Lady Millicent Horsey-Faquar is leading a campaign to highlight this problem.
" Really, it's quite obscene, people buy these delightful creatures, then totally ignore their behavioural qualities. Why, I recovered a charming Arborial ( Tree Climbing )Northerner from a couple in Hampstead, who refused to care for it just because it had shat in their guttering...whilst their neighbours were having a barbeque....he was only marking his territory...." Since settling in with Lady Horsey-Faquar on her 530 acre estate near Chatteris, ' D'wayne ' has thrived and shows little sign of his previous abuse, though his scrofula is still being treated. "He absolutely adores it here, the large oak overhanging the guest room is his favourite, though he sometimes disappears for days, usually after signing-on" Lady Horsey-Faquar now leads the latest appeal to highlight growing abuse in the Home counties on unwanted Northerners....
