hehe: My mother used to reckon the Viking genes were never far from the surface up north - visible in a good many individuals. (I think she used that to explain away my behaviour as a child.)
Sadly that doesn't grant you much advantage when the south is mainly of Norman (Norsemen, Men of the North = Viking) stock.We do combine well on a day trip to France though
I live in rural northumberland...

First we drink your beer, then we shag your women (yes, yours - I've had her), then we put our superior work ethic to use, then we out earn you, then we out bid you for houses, then when we've bilked you senseless we retire back up North with pots of gold.

It must be to do with the Southern women liking real men, not grease-smooth, latte-drinking, effeminate financial sector workers, etc. One to pay the bills and buy the clothes, the other to get them 'sorted' properly...

Build a fking great big wall.
We could get the northern monkeys to build it.
We all know major construction projects are good for the economy.
So in one go we have created jobs and stopped the great unwashed invading the greeen and pleasant land that is the south east.
Makes more sense than a high speed rail link that gets you from London to one of the crappiest places in the UK, 5 minutes quicker than normal.
(I would try and offend more people.but it's a pain typing on iPad )

It failed last time Hadrian tried it (even Offa's had a go).We could get the northern monkeys to build it.

The public sector jobs capital of the UK is the lovely little market town of Morpeth in Northumberland.
Almost 90% of local economy is funded by the public sector both directly and indirectly.
Makes me sick.

We're going on holiday to Morpeth in a couple of weeks. I am doing my bit to stimulate their economy.
Let me know where you're parking your car, I need some new tyres.
