    Do you mean Rizzlas? If so, I've never heard them referred to as 'blunt wrappers' - or is that something else?

    A Rizla is made of paper, a blunt wrap is a dried and cured tobacco leaf. You fill it full of weed (no baccy), roll it up and you've got a 'blunt'.

    Stoke is not really up north. I lived further north than Stoke for about quarter of my life but it was always considered the Midlands.

    It is but 'The North' starts just a couple of miles further north of Stoke at the Cheshire Border.

    For a southerner anything further up than Hatfield is 'The North.' Hence the sign. And the band.
