Southerners vs Northerners

[Urban Sports]

I am lucky enough to come from a Family of Northerners and unlucky to have many relatives that are Southerners.

Seriously there does seem to be a huge amount of "banter" on PH over this!

The media coverage of the divide is no doubt to blame! Or is it?

[ZOLLAR]

Always confuses me, i live in Swansea, south wales but i saw a graph on the BBC a few months back that showed all of wales being classed as "the north" i think it was refering to the financial divided rather than a geographic divided.
Makes me laugh as i too have relatives who geographically are north of me but classed financially as the south!, TBH north south thing has never had an impact on me so im not sure what all the fuss is about .

Everybody from up north comes from a family of Northerners. All the same family. You share the gene pool. Actually by gene pool I mean gene singular.

I'm sure somebody finds that funny

I don't trust people from the north, south, east or west.

Peoples ideas vary but I always see Watford as a dividing line.

Why watford? it isn't even close to being 50% up the country.

I live smack bang in the middle so for me just past Oxford it the start of the south and Nottingham the start of the north.

I kinda go with Watford as well. There's something so well... how do you put it? So primitive about life forms north of that line.

edit. I mean, it's not that they are not nice, it's just that you wouldn't use your best china when they came around for tea, now would you? I mean come on..

Bristol

[anonymous-user]

once less than 25 % of people in your local supermarket are buying rocket salad you are up north.

also once you see a morrisons.

[Acehood]

Anything above Leicester is Northern

The people at work consider Watford the start of the North, I've had some bizarre things said to me down 'ere.

Patient "So Rachael, how're you settling in?"
Me "Great thanks, just takes a little time"
Patient "Well you are from the North"
Me "???"


Receptionist yesterday "we were going to go to Yorkshire for the Bank Holiday but we've heard it's too cold at night to stay in our caravan"
Me "???"


Patient "Where's your accent from? Wales?"
Me: "Yorkshire"
