I laughed at Harry and Paul - stereotyping like this is so tongue in cheek and shouldn't offend as it has been like this forever - like Les Dawson and the 'mother in law' gags. I am Irish by birth but lived in the North East for 20 years and am not at all offended and now live in Suffolk where people are stereotyped as 'inbred and backwood', so have plenty of stereotypes I could be offended by, but I find it funny because its only caricatures of an essence that is there and intended to make laughter which for me it does. I think its necessary so as not to take yourself too seriously
