Henderson's Relish

A favourite among Sheffield folk alike and superior to Worcestershire sauce. Henderson's Relish is 'The spicy Yorkshire sauce' invented in 1885 by Henry Henderson and is made to a secret recipe that's still kept under lock and key and is still produced in Sheffield to this day.

"LIKE WORCESTER SAUCE, BUT ONE MILLION TIMES BETTER"
Matt Helders, Arctic Monkeys

THE SPICY TABLE SAUCE MADE IN SHEFFIELD SINCE 1885
Splash it on pies, in stews, over chips, cheese on toast and more. Henderson’s Relish is approved by the Vegetarian Society as suitable for vegans, and is gluten free.

Blue alert

One of the Funniest scenes in television, this originates from the BBC Sci-fi sitcom Red Dwarf the episode is S6E2 titled Legion and it goes like this;

Rimmer: Go to Blue Alert.
Lister: What for? There's no one to alert, we're all here.
Rimmer: I'd just feel more comfortable if we were all on our toes because everyone's aware it's a Blue Alert situation.
Lister: We all are on our toes!
Rimmer: May I remind you all of Space Corps Directive 34124?
Kryten: 34124. "No officer with false teeth should attempt oral sex in zero gravity".
Rimmer: Damn you both, all the way to Hades! I want to go to Blue Alert!
Lister: Okay, okay.
He presses a button; a sign reading 'Alert' in blue lighting begins flashing pathetically in the corner of the cabin
Rimmer: Thank you. A bit of professionalism.
...
Rimmer: Step up to Red Alert!
Kryten: Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb.
