North south divide.

Do the people up north (England) really hate the people down south?

Oh no Whitebear, we speak the queen's english. She hasn't got a nothern accent.

I went to visit a friend in the land of Manc where walking with a swagger is mandatory and managed to convince a table of twelve of the swaggerers that they had the accent and I didn't. I was actually quite proud. :c)

Scottish hate the English, Northerners hate Southerners, Next door counties hate each other. Poor district in a city hate the more affluent in a different part of a city. Next door neighbours hate each other People in the same house hate each other. It never ends. It is mostly down to jealousy because people think someone is having more luck in life than themselves.

[andy-hughes]

Objectively, I don;t think 'hate' is an appropriate adjective, but I do think there are difinite differences which need to be understood.

One of the reasons why northerners can dislike southerners is the unspoken perception that London is the most important place in the world.

Witness the recent snow in the south - suddenly because all the media Tristrams can't get to work, it's a massive news story!

I as a freelance music writer often request albums from record labels, and they usually say "We'll bike it over for you ..." the unspoken assumption is that as a 'media person', I must live within the M25 - in fact I am 160 miles from London.

A large proportion of nothern people are parochial, and view with suspicion people who appear more sophisticated and apparently egotistical, and this tends to further the perceived 'differences' between them.

As a Midlander born and bred, I would never contemplate living in the south, but I work there often, and liase with people perfectly happily, as i do with people all over the UK and abroad, but it is easy to see why the 'differences' are handed down even today.

Its unfair and a poor generalisation to say that northerners are thick, smelly, poor and keep ferrets and pigeons...






I once met one who had a whippet...

What ever they say... It's bloody colder "up north". After all, where would you rather be in winter wearing a kilt when a north wind is blowing, Brighton or Inverness? lol
