The trouble with the "North" is that it's so far away from anywhere else (Except Scotland).
You are right about confusing South with London, but I usualy find that Southerners who are not from the Metrolopse tend to have less of an attitude to the North.I am not qualified to give the above advice!

Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to timeComment

Originally posted by chris79 View PostActually it's quite the opposite, the further away from 'the south', the better as far as I'm concerned.
I wouldn't mind living in the North if there was a major transport hub there."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

If you are talking north east or cumbria then maybe, it's 1hr 45 to london from my nearest train station.The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

Originally posted by Bagpuss View PostSpot on, having lived, both North and South and Midlands (they always get forgotten), I'd have to say it's more grim down south, with a few exceptions.
I much prefer countryside to concrete.
The middlands don't get forgotten they just get overlooked as theres nothing there other than the motorway joining the North to the South....
