Differences between northerners and southerners?

Liverpool is very ahead in the fashion, check out all those tangoed Coleen McLoughlin carbon copies. It's thought of as one of the most fashionable cities (and obviously is the city of culture wooo).

I agree with the narrow mindedness. I'm from the south but live up north and I've been plagued all my northern life by people making comments about my different accent. However northerners are more friendly, and the crime is about equal even though we're portrayed as thieving b*stards.

3 months ago I would have joined in the northern bashing but I just can't anymore I even love their silly accents

I'm glad to hear Liverpool is fash - I'm going to Liverpool University this September. I visited earlier this year but didn't see much of the city centre.

Loooooaaaads of shops in the centre, and little towns and high streets scattered all over the city. Good shopping everywhere and it's all damn cheaper than the south. Great nightlife too - you'll love it!

Southerners are definitely scared of northerners! When I'm in Cambridge, if anyone tries to pick a fight, the scouse accent comes out with the "eh eh, ya startin su'tin, ya startin? come ere den, come ed an ill fukin batta ya!" and they run away!

Edit: note that putting on a southern accent will have the opposite effect when having a fight in the north. You will get "fukin batta'd".

north is 1) colder 2) more fashionable 3) harder people due to mining towns etc

having heard rumours of your decking a certain 6ft man mountain before i would be bricking it if you said "ya startin'" and i'm a northerner. (tho u wouldnt know it to hear me at first)

Northerners - I know its been said but funny accents. You say t' instead of the. Someone tell me what the deal with is that. I watched Kes, summed up northerners in my mind. Babba instead of baybee, mam instead of mum. You tend to drink like its no tommorow and the women seem to wear even less when they go out than in London when its much colder up there!

You've got outside toilets and my sister lived on the end of a cobbled road in Leeds. Cobbles. Oh and Hovis bread. ('Orvis)

What else, yeah The North is hardly fashionable. Its maybe fashionable in the whole 'retro' thing but Southerners are most up to date with fashion especially music then the Northerners get it later such as Garage music. My mate was telling me how people were raving about this garage track and it was months after we all got over it

Just another random thought of mine.. (leading from a discussion with a mate today).. what do you reckon are the major differences between northerners and southerners? Are there major differences in attitudes or do you reckon it's only the accents that vary?

That's cos the accents are so damn good

That's cos garage is a big steaming pile of crap.
