Divide.

[TWR]

Is there a North >>>South divide?

Beaches of Northumberland the best in the country. Pity it is usually too cold to enjoy them.

[joggerjayne]

Crikey, Mrs_O ... what a memory!

I do have a lucky duck, yes.

Pity us poor Lincolnshire girls who work in London and live with a Scot born in Wales. Now that gets REALLY confusing.

A 'southern' lady I know married a man from Yorkshire.
The first thing she remembers when going to visit his parents for the first time was as they drove into their village, on the end of a terraced house was the message in big white painted letters, ' Dustmen, bins round t' back'.

I think of Yorkshire alone as North and beyond a divide but, since Yorkshire people think of themselves as different from everyone else, that's not difficult.

Lincolnshire is that bit beyond the Wash. Better known than East Anglia; you have railway lines and roads going through Lincolnshire, you fancy people. East Anglia doesn't lead to anywhere.

It does if you catch a boat from one of our ports, Fred.

[FredPuli43]

We don't count Harwich, parkie; it's just a distant outpost of Manningtree; and we locals never think of Felixstowe or Ipswich as ports.

If there is, why is it so?

I was lucky enough to work for a company with a national pay scale. So I got the same money as those poor buggers living in the South, and all the benefits of living in the North.
