White Quey, wasn't it? Quey means a young cow. Also interesting how folk pronounce it. Just been googling it and all the audio pronunciations online are not what I understood to be correct. I always believed it to be pronounced as The White Why, could be wrong though. Yes that's what I thought too. All the online pronunciations are wrong though, even one with a picture of the pub on.

Totally baffled anyone not local this one.
A cockney lad I know got quite argumentative about this one back in the day - we were on the quayside at Newcastle and he said you probably call this the whyside.

Are they pronouncing it key? We always called it the white why, a decent place to go with a new girl, big, a pool table and out of town lol

To be fair there's loads of words in the Carlisle dialect that aren't used elsewhere in the County. Probably all the Geordie blood you have running through your veins.

In Scotland, you try to take a girl to Edinburgh and hope she doesn’t make you get off at the Haymarket. (Billy Connolly joke.)

The White Quey (Why) was a good country pub back in the day but fell completely into disrepair.
Northern is talking sense about the training facilities - get the plot size right but build what you need first then add to it as and when it's needed.
Branthwaite - I heard Man City were considering an £80 million bid in January.
He should be in the England squad for the Euro's
