sod off ya dirty fairy! If u think the South is that good, then howcome u decided 2 'emigrate' to the north???

U know u secretly wanna b a northerner & that the north is better, just don't hate us cos u wer cruelly squeezed out n dragged up in the south. Jealousy is a bad thing.

People from Yorkshire are Northern. Geordies who disagree are just silly. Leeds is above the Midlands, so surely it must be the North...

hmm another point that makes the north far superiour is the presence of running water those in the city as they like to referre to themselves dont have any and even if they do it contains 90% more dead people than the north

not to mention the fact that we were the first to have a named area ripper! somehow the ipswich ripper sounds like a bit of a crappy tag compared to the Yorkshire ripper, at least ours travelled around abit, unlike u lazy southerners...

somehow i feel this may be deleted...

Down South is cleaner? nahhh way, big cities = loadsa pollution & black snot. Unless ur counting the arse end of England which looks on2 France, but then thats generally covered in a sort of fishy smell, not really populated by anyone other than inbreds & tourists wanting to go 2 the beach, lets not even mention seagulls.

As for the accents, northerners don't spit when they talk... if u aint noticed everything is kinda in a gruffish mumble, if u dont open ur mouth that much u can't really spit when talking, plus abit of a rough edge is alot more charming than talking like a bad Hugh Grant wannabe or some wannabe ****ney geezer/slapper. Just another point about the accents... southerners can't swear properly and therefore aint taken seriously when tryin 2b 'hard', if u really wanna scare sum1 by threatning them northern accents r much better.

the north is cleaner like for like! Brighton vs Blackpool, i payed a quater of the price to stay ina hotel in blackpool and it was cleaner and nicer and everything worked. As opposed to an expensive hotel in Brighton were the lights didn't proper and the towels wer damp n the room was crap! on another note northern accents define where your from opposed from accenst were you could be from anywhere!

That's a fine point! I love regional accents hehe

(and I apologise for peervyness, but it can't be helped hehehe)


Although actually there was a particular London accent I loved too, but Northern ones have more character I feel

i wasnt stating anything as an insult. i love it up north, and i love some of the accents, but others do involve copious amounts of spitting and speaking in a kind of slurred screeching manner, and cities down south are cleaner than the majority up north. i always feel like i'm in a smog in some northern cities (although the same can be said for parts of london).

Just to continue some of the lovely generalisations, I have a lovely story.

In sixth form, my psychology set went on a visit to London. We were on the tube, and some lady with lots of shopping got on. Straight away one of our girls near her stood up and offered her seat (with a smile!), and the lady was astonished. She said something along the lines of "I've lived her for x years, and this sort of thing rarely happens".

Well, that makes me and my children sad.

I know it comes with city living and whatnot... but busy and important jobs should not cause people to forget their manors.

Jeni.

Oh, and we have Waterfield's bakers... which are highly superior to any other bakery on the planet!! Greggs have attempted to copy their caramel doughnut (which is only available in winter, so that the topping doesn't melt), but they have fallen flat on their silly faces.

aww that's so nice. Manners cost nothing! See that's something you get a lot more in the North.

We had a customer in Superdrug that wanted Head Office's address. Not to complain as you may intially suspect; she was so impressed she wanted to write to them and say how lovely we all were everytime she came into the shop. How nice is that, that she cared enough to tell our bosses?! That proper made my day

Yeah u get more manners up north & also if u talk 2 a stranger up north 2 pass time while waitin 4 a bus they don't ignore u or look at u like u've just raped their gran infront of them. Plus they aint afraid 2 gi praise when they r impressed wi u, they'll actually go n do nice things like biggin u up.

No worries bout that :o) its gettin more west yorkshire, but I'll b first 2 admit its a confusing messy mix of scouse, derbyshire, south yorkshire, west yorks & welsh. Just be glad u dint meet me when I first moved up Leeds... it was much worse.

She stayed. And we laughed.

I've found that the Northern accents make things easier for language students, the way we northerners vowels fits in with loads of other languages, southeners speaking in a foreign language sounds funny.

i particularly enjoy a good north south culture clash.

e.g.

myself and pa were on the tube after going to see Derby County (yep, thats my team...) when a load of Derby supporters piled on, next to a London native woman with weird hair and loads of make up. she was promptly asked

'who've you come as?'

in the broadest midlands accent imaginable. how cheeky. I laffed.
