Deep fried mars bars
Deep fried mars bars
Interestingly (or maybe not, but bear with me), I'm a Northerner and have never had a deep-fried Mars bar so I thought I'd make my own.
This is what I got when I tried to fry one bar:
Obliterated.
Midlands here!
I picture a man named Gary, wearing a football shirt, and eating curry or fish and chips

Bang-on accurate so far.

They all loooove football to the extent that their life's worth depends on it. They also love Oasis.
I hate football and I dislike Oasis, so do all my friends for both.
Most people I know aren't football fans but don't dislike it -_-

Friendlier, yes. You can nod to anyone on the street and you will get a nod or "hello", "orite?" back, my first expirience of the south was saying morning to someone walking past and them giving me this weird look like I'm some stalker.
this might be from me being a total southerner, but why would you want to say hi or nod to a stranger walking past you?
are you talking like in an village or where you see the same faces all the time?

Can't think of any stereotypes for t'north off of the top of my head
It doesn't work like that hahahah.
You could say, "are you off t'north"?.
But for before reducing the to t' sounds really odd.

Whenever i hear my friends think of northeners they seem to think of larger than averege people who drink like its going out of fashion 
This is especially true for South Yorkshire and coastal tourist destinations like Scarborough and Bridlington. But I was talking to my friend the other week about how there are hardly any fat or even chubby people at college, like a ratio of slim to obese is 200 to 1. Serisouly

1. Yes
2. Never had one, I don't think anyone I know has, and I wouldn't even know where to find any. And the chip shops I've been in (around 8) non of them have it on the board.

Anyone, whether in my village or in town (huddersfield) or in the city (Leeds), not in the middle of the day to commuters, but say you are walking past one person and its late, early, not crowded etc

People here shouldn't understimate how much Influence Indian/Pakistani immigrants have had on Yorkshire, particularly W.Yorkshire. There are more curry houses and quasi-pizza takeaways than there are chip shops or pastry outlets like greggs, hadfields, or independent stores, even caffe's. It has had a big impact on the Bradford accent as well, first thing you will notive about any young white people is that they have a Yorkshire-Asian tone, really.
