Showbiz has a little lesson for you.

So get ready for some tutorage in geography.

Up north there is Yorkshire to the east and Lancashire to the west.

And under no circumstances must these be confused.

You cannot muddle your Yorkshire puds with your Lancashire hotpots - it’s just not done.

As any self-respecting northerner will tell you there’s no love lost between these two sides of the Pennines - look it up in the history books if you want to know more.

But trust the southerner that is Jude Law to bodge all this up.

He tried his hand a bit of bar banter.

But his chat left a lot to be desired, in his north London local, the Clifton Arms.

He almost got himself into hot water after he confused the two counties.

According to the Daily Mirror a source said: "Jude overheard this guy ordering a pint of mild and asked where his strong accent was from.

"The bloke said Yorkshire, but almost spat in his pint when Jude said, ’That’s a coincidence, my mum is from Lancashire.’ Some choice words put him straight."

Tut-tut, Jude.
