On a recent trip to Scotland, it makes me always remember how friendlier people are compared to England. I don't know whether other people have a similar experience, but especially at night (i was in Glasgow at night) people are just much more open than down in England (where I live) in terms of talking to each other, where often enough people only ever stick to talking within their circle and you always get the feeling they can't wait to get rid of you during a convo. You just get talking to so many people you wouldn't even expect to be talking to!
Does anybody else get this feeling when crossing the border?

Very much so. Canada is one of the friendliest places i've been. I guess people in these locations simply have a lot more space,time, community. Whereas London is just a bunch of people, thinking about themselves living in tiny boxes and working 50+ hours.

I've actually found the US to be the country outside the UK to have the most friendly people, especially in Washington and New York City.

You've made the classic mistake of thinking London = England. Don't know why everybody does this. London is NOTHING like the rest of the country.

even in Manchester i always get the feeling of pretentiousness and the feeling that in order to be more sociable there you have to be either drunk, be in a big friendship circle of some sort or know people.

I live up North, where it is just as friendly as Scotland. Nothing beats random conversations with strangers on a night out.

I could never go out on my own like in Glasgow and just start chatting to random people at 9pm though lol. In my experience of living up north all my life Northerners are friendly, but maybe not very sociable still. We often stick inside our circles like glue.

I may be biased but I like that people talk to each other up here, not only on nights out (outwith their social circles) but just generally in everyday life - on public transport, in taxis, etc. However, I've visited Lancashire (particularly Blackpool) many times and always think the Northerners are a friendly bunch too

Same. Seems like half of Scotland lives in England anyway and they're just as much as a **** as everyone else, if not more so. Scotland has the biggest inferiority complex ever. They're always trying to convince everyone they are in some way better than England.
