The Great North/South Divide

[China Doll]

Hi All,

Do you think there are differences between the North and South then? If you do think there are differences, what do you like about those differences? Does anyone take the stereotypes that we give each other seriously? Do you think it's all just a bit of joke that we poke fun at each other or do you think there's a serious element to it all?

(And if anyone can tell me what a stuttie (sp?!) is I'd really appreciate it!)

Cheers
China

You southerners thinks us northerners only think about food and football - well that's a load of tripe for a kick-off.

Don't know, maybe we've got a north - north divide

Well there's a north and south London divide.

One difference - Southerners think Ant and Dec are funny

I'm Welsh so I have no opinion on the north south devide, but I do know that when the rugby is on if you're not Welsh then it's WAR!!!!!

But on most days I like everyone because i'm that type of gal!

[beryllium]

There's definitely a difference in sense of humour.

I will go on record as saying that I much prefer the sense of humour from Oop (<<< That's my imitation accent) North.

[Kidd72]

Elvis68, are you saying that southerners are tighter, paranoid and vain?

[paulos66]

Southern accents all sound the same

[Goodsoulette]

I quite like northerners, especiall people from Yorkshire and Durham, I think they are more trustworthy and have better values lol

I am from the south west and 10 miles west of Bristol we don't consider ourselves part of the south, I think we are more inclined t think of ourselves as southwest and have little to no interest on what is going on north or east of brizzle.
