Things that annoy me about the South.
1/ London

London is cool in places.
So? We talk proper...
Stereotype. I've lived in or around London all my life, and the only ponces I know are from up north..
Agreed.
Quote:
5/ The genetic inability to drive if your born south of Sheffield
6/ lack of use of indicators and the observation of speed limits.
|
And northerners can drive?
Quote:
|
7/ the lack of green open spaces
|
Erm, Kent & Cornwall have hundreds of miles of open spaces.
Quote:
|
8/ the fact they have way way way more polution than we do
|
Dunno about that.
Quote:

9/ the gits always nick our water
|
Dunno, but I am pretty sure most of the water in my area comes from Kent.

|
10/ the fact that the further south you drive th elonger it takes to get anywhere
|
Nope.

Things I like about the North
1/ the people
|
How come, whenever I have seen any Ibiza Uncovered style programmes, they always star northerners and the Welsh?
Quote:
|
2/ The climate, balmy in the summer and nice and cold with snow in the winter
|
How come every northerner I have ever met (whereever in the north they come from) moans that we southerners get the best weather then and it's too cold in the North?
Quote:
|
3/ the amount of Southerners that have realised the errors of the birthing and moved North
|
Maybe they are just making the mistakes?
Quote:
|
4/ Most local Derbys in football
|
Depends on the teams.

7/ the open space, people here dont live crammed in or on top of one another.
|
See my previous answer about open spaces. My uncle lives in Kent, and is around 1/2 a mile from his neighbours.

8/ Metro centre, always good for annoying chavs
|
Naah, we just have Lakeside, Bluewater, Dartford and Croydon for that..
Quote:
|
9/ My home town, was once officially the cheapest place to live in the UK
|
Fair enough.

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.

I'll remind you of that next time we arrange a meet...
Anyway, I live in a nice area (one of the nicer parts of Bromley). If I want City life, I can get a train to London in 40 minutes. If I want to go out into the country, I can WALK for 20 minutes and go out into the countryside in Kent. I can do it in less that 5 minutes by car..
