      More confusing is the animosity felt between Mancunians and car-thieves (sorry, Scousers).

          The current north south divide runs diagonally from Bristol up to Grimsby. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7724573.stm

            A friend of mine from Shetland has always considered female Scouse accent to be (and I quote) "absolutely f***ing filthy"

              That puts me in the South, but having grown up in Worcestershire I'm apparently now a Northerner. By eck, where's me whippet, off down pit, etc.
              Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

                    I don't hate anybody based on where they are from, I base my opinions on what they are like. Although the North South divide tends to live on in the minds of some middled aged people who tend to be from the South East. Most of those people seem to hardly venture anywhere and probably hate their neighbours too.
                    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.”

                      Been through this a million times but my own conclusion is this:-

                      1. Southerners have a big chip on their shoulder/issue with the North.

                      2. Northerners in general don't really care about the South.

                      3. People from the South think that the South starts just below Peteborough, and conveniently does or doesn't include London as part of any argument as and when it suits them.

                      4. Apparently Birmingham isn't in the South.

                      5. The South regularly enjoys sub-tropical climate all year round of 25+ degrees, where as it's always snowing and cold in the North.
