Sorry there's no money for the north, it's being spent on essential utilitarian infrastructure in London:

True that is.. CrossRail, HS2, road tunnels under monuments. Yup.

Here we get mini-roundabouts which just popup here and there as traffic improvements. and white markings around the potholes. New bus facilities for the people who still bother to take the buses that don't quite go far enough.

Its hilarious really. I met two guys in London once who were going to the "countryside" for the weekend. I enquired where. "Birmingham".

True dat, I've spoken to people who work in Chester who've never been to Wales (which is almost next door) as it's abroad

What makes you w4nkers think that the only places in the north are Manchester and Liverpool?

MF - Have you ever taken your wife to the Yorkshire dales? North Y'shie moors? Dirty bastard, the best you had ever taken her up was your Oxo tower

Make Bradford the jewel of the North.

#TakeUsWithYouScotland

"Thousands of people in the North of England have been using the hashtag "take us with you Scotland" to express their upset about the result of last week's general election, and the Scottish nationalists are welcoming this English minority with open arms."

Make Bradford the jewel of the North.

And get Gerald Ratner to do the marketing.

Reasons why I don't go back oop North

1. It's cold
2. It's grim
3. Too many housing estates
4. Liverpool
5. The waiting in shops while the servers prattle on

London is, without question, the dirtiest place in Britain. Walk in central London for an hour then blow your nose ....black.

Is Central London populated by only hippies and lesbians?

And twats. Never had a punt in Soho ?

Central London = Hebden Bridge

If you want to create something like London, then think on those lines.

To replicate various bits of London, I would suggest creating a sort of triangle or a square comprising of:

• West London equivalent = Leeds
  
• East London equivalent = Bradford
  
• North London equivalent = North Yorkshire
  
• South London equivalent = South Manchester and Scunthorpe.

Central London = Hebden Bridge

Now all you cretins find a map and join those dots and tell us what you see.

I think this sums the North Up.

Not quite sure what you're trying to do. I suppose if this was Canada you'd be called me a redneck. Sadly that insult has lost all its effect..similarly. But do keep trying.

Wot you get for £3 million in Kent (plus a reasonable chance of a job to support it :-))
