The North is a little bit more agressive in its attitude -.

What cheek, just come here and say that if you dare.

[Brianwarnock]

Southerners are not superior, it's just that Northerners are not so well educated and they have a shorter average lifespan. So naturally they will accept their place and class.



I would imagine very few people south of Liverpool would have the slightest interest in anything that happens in Liverpool generally let alone in some wierd named suburb.

The only recent Liverpool event of very mild interest to us in the south was the Toxteth riots.

Col

The Toxteth riot was over 20 years ago, just shows you how upto date you Southerners are, kinda dismisses your opening sentence, but then people south of the Thames no little to nothing of anything North of that river.

Where is the line that divides the two?
And, if I ever DO get to Great Britain, where will I be most welcomed?
Bear in mind, please, I do not like stuffy.... and men in powdered wigs are an immediate turnoff to me.

You will Know that you are in the North when people start smiling and being pleasant.

My place on the way to Ouma's

If you do try it try it with some cat wee soup as a starter, and don't forget to have lashings of larks vomit gravy over the top!

That part sounds delicious

i am a fair bit younger than you Brian ... - no its more in the tone not the actual people up north they will call it as it is where as in t he south - we kinda polish it a bit ..- not better just different

on a social basis the North is more socially minded the neighbours do tend to be more neighbourly -to get this kinda of attitude down south - you need to get to the villages

now if we are talking about cornwall then we are into another world - they have no real concept of time or distance (asked once how far x was and it was just round the corner (18 bloody miles round the corner) - yet i would love to live there....

as they nick the wheels of your car - empty your wallet - and sell you children

Look, I do so hate to appear to be playing the Devils advocate here but I think you'll find that Col lives to the North of the Thames

 

[Rich]

Cornwall's not much bigger than that anyway

 

[Brianwarnock]

Who said that I was talking about Col, his ignorance is taken for granted, after all said and done he comes from Bristol.

But we will leave it on top quality bricks.

I wasn't suggesting that you say it to me, somewhere round Granby Street would be the place.

Brian

Brian

I thought he came from the SW actually

 

[Brianwarnock]

I thought he came from the SW actually

I thought he said Bristol at some point in the past, and isn't that in the SW?
Not from you of course.

Some might say the Westcountry, but definitely not the SW

Daft i am not - don't want to lose any more teeth ...

Thats up north isn't it (anything above the medway is north )

 

[Rich]

Thats up north isn't it (anything above the medway is north )

Any thing North of Bodmin is up North

 

[Brianwarnock]

Note to one's self, look up Essex and the Medway, both South of Stoke I think.

Brian

 

[ColinEssex]

I was born and raised in Bristol, but have not lived there since 1973. Rich is correct in saying it's the West Country, the South West is generally referring to Cornwall, Devon area.

Colchester (Essex) is slightly north of the Thames by a few miles.

The point here is that there is a North / South split and the class structure is alive and well in the UK.

, sneaky, two faced, back biting... lol you don't want to polish your words up here, and when you're speaking to someone "up north" bear in mind that other people just don't have any feelings, so feel free to say what ever you like about them, you'll feel better, they won't mind they are very much like the Americans that way, but then many Americans are a product of the Highland Clearances

on a social basis the North is more socially minded the neighbours do tend to be more neighbourly -to get this kinda of attitude down south - you need to get to the villages

until you speak to them and find that they don't polish their words..

now if we are talking about cornwall then we are into another world - they have no real concept of time or distance (asked once how far x was and it was just round the corner (18 bloody miles round the corner) - yet i would love to live there....

I've heard people in Glasgow do the same with English tourists
