"Who do you think is more friendly, Northeners or Southerners? And where does the divide happen? Stoke maybe?"
Some people are friendlier than others it doesn't matter where they come from, I think the divide happens in peoples heads. |

In general or in particular? I have come across very unfriendly northerners and very friendly southerners and vice versa. |

I would say Northerners( well the men anyway, and they are by far the best shags ever) 
In reality, their place of birth, or geographical location matters not a jot, to whether they are friendly or not. |

Obviously not every northerner is the nicest person around but over all us southerners are less friendly

I find northern and midland women better in bed than southern women as many are open to trying new things and give great blow jobs lol |

Hmmm we have had some experiences of the perceived north south divide that have shocked us and made us realise that location is no basis on which to form an opinion on a persons friendliness. Better to get to know an individual whichever part of the country they're from. |

Trouble is many of those who claim they can identify the divide have no real worldly experience of being in the opposite side of the country living with the other. Anyway you arrogant Southerners and Northerners there's also Westerners ! |

People are people are people, no matter where they are from. As a southerner living in the north one thing I am sure of is that swingers clubs get more and more sleazy the further north you go. So much so that I've given up on the clubs up here and drive four hours each way to go to a couple of my favourites in the south |

No, it's that they all seem to be situated in the direst seedy areas, where you would never walk alone at night and are mainly reminiscent of greasy spoon cafes  |

Whilst people are people, I think there is a cultural element. Up here people seemed more inclined to start a random conversation with a stranger, whereas I don't think that happens so much down South. Granted the conversation may involve, 'If tha looks at our lass, once muuur, ah'll flatten thee.' or mostly 'nice weather, our kid'  |

In London people barely even look at you. But most don't live there or are on holiday. There aren't many pubs left in my area now but old people still chat at the bus stop or in Tesco |

And here's me thinking it was to stop the money being allowed away from Capitol !!!
Being a southwest lad living in the north I can say that it doesn't make any difference where your from its all about your ! Attitude ?
But the north on the whole people will talk to you where as the south people seem to keep their heads down?
But I have friends in the south who aren't like that ! So it's down to who you meet I suppose???? |

Southerner here who has lived all over the country, and I have children in Swansea and London whom I visit regularly.
I can honestly say that folk are as friendly or remote as you perceive them to be, but what does help is being receptive and friendly yourself.
Without doubt, when I take the time to chat or smile, I have had nothing but positive reactions. |

Northerners only talk to you a lot as a distraction so their mates can rob your house.
The north starts at Watford, the south starts at the river Thames. |

The midlanders are in a sort of no mans land. The northerners think they are southerners and the southerners think they are northerners. That's why they always have a confused look on their faces. |

County Durham is unique, as for many centuries it was a virtually independent state ruled not by the king, but by powerful `Prince Bishops', who were more or less the `Kings of County Durham'.. ..see i live in my own Kingdom...no divide... |

Friendly in the middle and less so at the top and bottom of Britain. |

The devide is on a map, if people care to use that to segregate people, and influence attitudes towards others, then all I can say is your IQ is pretty low.  |

Funny thing I was haveing this discussion with a british cpl from the north. ( forgot what city )
Being a non Brit, and mostly meeting brits here on holidays, I can say there is a cultural difference. But who is more friendlier? People are people.
I have been to the uk seceral times but mostly in the south... hopefully make my way up north!

There is a generalised greater level of friendliness in the north compared to the south imo. The north starts near to me in the midlands, catch me on a bad day, and the jet stream has moved it further north. Great pockets of warm people in the south too, and some dreadfully cold uns up north. Each of us influences how people relate to us, the more accepting and inviting we are, the likely better friendliness we get in return. |

The only experience I have had with southerners are the ones that have visited my pub.Firstly they are gobsmacked by how cheap the beer is here.A pint of Tetleys costs £2.35 here where as down south it is something like £4 or £5.Also they love the social life up north because the northerners are more tolerant and easy going.I know of at least 3 people who have actually moved up north and have not regretted the move.I don't believe in the north/south divide but I think southern people chase money all the time,where as northern people are happy if they have just enough money to see them through the week. |

It may have been said but what you give out is generally what comes back to you.
My Northern friend finds it "charming" that I randomly talk to strangers, wherever I am in the country, and they reply with the friendliness I put out.
The only divide is the stuff that goes on chips and what the fish and chip shop is called. |

If a northerner moves south does that make them a southerner?
London is so full of people from all over the country (and the globe) I find it hard to typify Londoners as anything other than cosmopolitan.

So if they refused to tell you the time when in the south does that tar southerners as rude or northerners? Chances are they won't give you a clue where they were born.

I find the women who come from NP4 Postcode to be the best in bed, but the friendliest come from TR19.
That is of course complete nonsense! but I do find people who have space tend to be friendlier than those who live and work in big cities, guess when you are fighting for personal space 24/7 it's less normal to invite others in to share. |

that's twaddle fella..
was born and bred in Liverpool, living in Surrey and worked in London for over 20 yrs..
have lived in Yorkshire, Wiltshire and regularly visit Wales and Scotland..
there are folks 'who wont give you the time of day' in every part of this land..
equally there are folks who are welcoming and friendly, as well as those who will make sweeping generalisations or assumptions based on not a lot perhaps.. |
