Is it really 'grim up North'?...

[snagged]

Just wondered... as the furthest North I've ever ventured is Hepden Bridge (ex gf was from there)... that was pretty grim... ;o)


I'm from the South...

I've lived all over Britain and I like "up north", anywhere north of Brum is fine ( with the exception of wolverhampton) Lol.

Its great up north snagged you really want to get out more.

[aka pixi]

Im from yorkshire and I dont find it grim

[wonderwoman1]

Does Edinburgh count as "up North"? If so, its lovely!! not grim at all!! xx

Strange thing is i've been all over the bloody world... but never 'up North' in this country...

I'm gonna get slated... but... it doesn't particularly appeal to me for some reason... I only went as far as Hepton Bridge as my ex was from there...


even she went back 'grudgingly' (xmas, deaths, births etc!)...

[snagged]

Stay for more than a week snagged and you'll begin to grow a flat cap and sprout a whippet from the side of your right knee and say "Eh up!" a lot.

[PatriciaH]

[noxlumos]

No I'm not! I'm from Belfast. I've lived in London, Liverpool, Birmingham, Manchester, York for a while all over the place and up north is great.

[snagged]

convince me!...

The furthest North I've ever been was Whitby on a camping trip. I remember that being quite jolly despite having just read Dracula and being scared to death in my tent of a night.

I live in Brixton so you can imagine most places North or South are less grim that there.

[snagged]

oh I don't know... I quite like the 'thrill' of trying to get to Brixton Academy... in one piece lol!

Best breakfasts in the world come from up north, best fish and chips, good scenery, fun loving hard partying people, sensible down to earthness about em. What's not to like?
