Fortunately, I have not yet lost my taste for black pudding, so there's hope yet.

Thats quite right, not yet terminal.
Black pudding indeed.
Things that annoy me about the South.
1/ London
2/ The accent
3/ The ponciness
4/ the price of things
5/ The genetic inability to drive if your born south of Sheffield
6/ lack of use of indicators and the observation of speed limits.
7/ the lack of green open spaces
8/ the fact they have way way way more polution than we do
9/ the gits always nick our water
10/ the fact that the further south you drive th elonger it takes to get anywhere
Things I like about the North
1/ the people
2/ The climate, balmy in the summer and nice and cold with snow in the winter
3/ the amount of Southerners that have realised the errors of the birthing and moved North
4/ Most local Derbys in football
5/ our heritage, first passenger railway, the amount of archaeological remains here, the beauty of the North yorkshire moors national park, the birth place of captain cook, John walker, inventer of the safety match, Brian clough, we had great, world famous bridge builders.
6/ The site formerly known as ICI, love it or hate it, it shaped our region, it also did wonders for the war effort.
7/ the open space, people here dont live crammed in or on top of one another.
8/ Metro centre, always good for annoying chavs
9/ My home town, was once officially the cheapest place to live in the UK
10/ I think the North East is pretty well situated for everywhere, lakes is only 2 hours away, so is Scotland. We can sail to Scandanavia, fly to Ireland in about 30-40 minutes, and if we have to go to London its only 45 mins by plane, you can be there and back before it gets to you.
