'ow do.

i hail from wakefield, not that you'd know it by my accent just from the flat cap and greyhound on a string that accompany me everywhere.

i love the north, i intensely dislike some aspects of the south.

it's called yorkshire pudding, not essex soufflé as someone once argued.

i think bradford is a great example of a northern city. whoever said we're not cosmopolitan? and northerners make the best british films. 'east is east' (bend it like beckham paled in comparison), 'billy elliott', 'brassed off', 'the full monty'...

reet ho, i'm off to make a pot of yorkshire tea and pick flees off my whippet x

Woooooo!!! Go midlands go midlands.

Who's up fer Bolton Pride?!

Anyone.....anyone.....?

oooooo i dislike the midlands


i like chip spice.

it probably does, otherwise it would improve.

p.s im only joking.. i've just had bad experiences in the midlands :D

WOO big up the north.....blackburn is the place to be.....as long as your not there very long

i find northerners can eat more traditional decent food, where as southerners are often dizzy with no common sense i.e. my flatmates are very very dizzy, although dont get me wrong they r academically clever, an such things as using an oven and cleanin were far beyond them before they came here, mummy and daddy used to do it for them

buut yea the north is the best, no reason, its jus good

Mmm... Morrisons. A mecca of stale vegetables, pushing chavs with large double buggies full of their hellspawn, and people on the checkouts who spent 20 minutes typing in a barcode. 'Fresh pasta retailer of the year' my arse.

We have Waitrose.

And also, I like the unfriendliness of London. It's nice being able to go on public transport and not have some 70 year-old man call you 'love' and start an in-depth conversation about the weather. I love the hustle and bustle of London -- where else would you find people trying to cram themselves on an Underground train like sardines in spite of the fact there's another train coming along in less than one minute!

As 4 stuff bout the south, hmmmm... where do we start...

1) Waitrose n a million n one other expensive crap shops where people wi more money than sense go
2) the smog, black gunk up ur nose aint so nice
3) drinks... bout £5 a pint Fuck that!
4) loadsa prisons but not enuff room in them... best place 4 southerners really, keep em locked away so we dun have 2 hear Q.E n East end speak. Need 2 build more down there 2 keep em locked in, or jus deport every1 2 australia like they did in good old days. Its turned out ok 4 Britains biggest open prison aint it? & theres not an east end accent/Q.E accent in earshot there!
5) Cant go 2 london n buy chips pies mushy peas & gravy from a chippy, they jus look at u gone out
6) Most southerners have never seen a cow chicken sheep duck etc unless its on a local supermarket shelf/on tv... most northerners have seen em up close n know wot one looks like.
7) Down south is where the government is housed & theres also loadsa tory places down south... toffs.
8) Unfriendliness, u say hi 2/smile at a random person down south n they look at u like u've threatened 2 rape their whole family n shaft them wi a fire extinguisher b4 walkin off n ignorin u/ ringin up the hotline 4 men in white coats 2 come drag u away/ pullin out a gun. Dunt kill 2b sociable, even if its a quick 2 minute chat wi sum1 ur never gonna c again. Also every1 down south seems 2b in a rush, just chill!
9) All the tramps, lots of them!
10) heres the main 1 tho.... wots more beautiful, big cities full of pollution & unfriendly gits that take hours to escape from b4 gettin anywhere remotly clean, or small cities, little towns n villages wi plenty of charm, friendly locals n max of half an hour trip b4 ur in middle of countryside wi trees, rocks & hills 2 jus go n chill in?

Am not gonna slag off the midlands cos thats more northern than down south & well the midlands can lay claim 2 American Adventure (not 2 bad 4 a rickety kinda crap-gone downhill-but cheapish theme park) & the TOP theme park in this country, Alton Towers! Good work Midlands!

hehe dont forget Drayton Manor Theme Park!! It kicks arse!!!!

The Midlands is also where Cadbury World is!!! What more could you want?!

xx

yeah i wernt sure where Drayton Manor were, been once shockwave wer ok. Theres Cadbury world as well, Yum!.... dunno y the midlanders r whinging, u got all the good stuff on ur doorstep. Plus we aint dissin u, just the southerners who dun appreciate the north!

Alice we can 4give u 4 been anti-social after all u wer born n lived down south 4 ages... its enuff 2 make any1 bitter twisted n hermit like. Adam on the other-hand... where the hell wer u born??? Midlands r meant 2b the balanced area, not a "we'll use northerners if we have heart attacks til then they can fook off" - Mummys not impressed son!

Ally - Bolton Pride sounds like an idea! When is it?

Just to add to the argument here bout not wanting northerners 2 talk to u n strike up random conversations... If the northerners in this society hadn't have started off strikin up conversations with everyone, would u anti-social southerners (& midlander) have made any friends at all???

Q: How do you know you're a true Londoner?

A: Someone faints on the tube and you step around them.

I hate to say this, but before coming to Leeds I did have several misconceptions about the North. (That mysterious area of land above Watford.) As much as I should stick up for my Southern cousins, it really is nice up here. Well, apart from the weather, that is although I burn like an idiot so can only construe the fact that it rains up here when it's 30 degrees in London as a good thing.

yes, cos there's nothing quite so classy as a westcountry accent.

I'm Southern and I sound far too cockney for my accent to ever be considered posh or proper.

The same could be said for Coronation Street really tho

which one would that be exactly!/

I'm not sure about the pub/club aspect Nic. I haven't been to either, although I know the Church is minging purely on reputation.

The Star is ok its jus like ur usual run of the mill pub. On the other hand The Church is a complete cess pool next to a chicken killing factory, smells bluddy rank, the toilets r baaaaad! one side of it is a pub, the other side is a pub gutted out wi a dj box n mirrors plastered around, has a beer garden, sells poppers behind the bar for £6 drinks, r about £3, whereas the dealers who go there make loadsa money cos they sell ANYTHING & EVERYTHING for £2.50

I may just head into Manc after Bolton and not bother with our rather substandard gay establishments! Although I may pop into the star just to have a look!

You up for Bolton pride then Nic? Are your Bolton mates going?

*bump*

hehe ;)

We were comedy geniuses!

I'd bump the bad gags thread but it was closed meaning we could never post on it & start a revival again.... its buried sumwhere around page 15 of chat... wot a gem that was!
