Moved here from London in February.
Hmmm my thoughts. The people in the main are friendly enough. Everywhere looks abit like detroit and could do with a coat of paint. One request, pick ya fucking up. Oh..and who the fuck thought it was a great idea to build the trafford centre next to a shit pit..sigh..ya have to wonder at what the convo was at the planning meeting.....eeee lads n lassies..l ave an idea..thy knows we need somewhere for t' folk t' go and get pissed..ow about building a chav looking shopping mall next t' local shit pit.
I notice trackie bottoms are still top fashion up here and that most of the men either have that gypsey five o'clock shadow or a 50 inch waist line from beer or barm cakes.
Not sure who Jessie is or pal. My name is Adam you northern monkey.
Quite a few women up here, especially Wigan with their scraped back pony tailed hair hooped earrings and see through black leggings look like they would chop your head off and spit down your neck but to be frank l kinda like their straightforward openess.
Let the fun begin.. |

Watford Gap services do cocktails?"
I ordered a Cosmopolitan in Manchester and the northerners with me kept asking what I was drinking. I let them have a taste and then they all ordered them. I might have started a trend in the Oop North.

"What the fuck is a barm cake "
You know full well. Its one of your teacakes, but it has to be flat and cooked in the bottom of the oven. Our teacakes have currants in them. We only do it to confuse you. At least on both sides of the pennines you can get gravy or curry in the chippy. |

I have never in my life, ever heard any
Northerner pronunce "up" as "oop". As northerners we always use the harder form of a vowel sound.

you're the guy who has been stuck in the hall of mirrors for 48 hours with only his phone for company aren't you! I would shout for them to turn off the lights so the reflection isn't visible.  |

Maybe they were humouring you we tend to do that with southerners as they are so insular and rarely speak in public. |

Vimto! Great stuff - although I hate chippy gravy

From down south myself and that look was started 10-15yrs ago down there. Was called the croydon face lift. People pretty good up north though obviously you haven't discovered chips and gravy or meat and potato pie. Pie with the same amount of mash as would have but inside the pie with  you can't mix the 2 what else you going have with it??? |

I was brought up in Cheshire and lived in Manchester for several years for work.
I'm struggling with this one as to whether it's a joke or if you're serious but either way it's rather offensive and ignorant.
I'm moving to Essex next week to start a new job, but home will always be the North West and I'm so incredibly proud of being from OOOP NORF!! |

Reading the OP I thought it was a feeble attempt to spark off a north/south pillow fight also. Maybe a bit of 'war of the rose's' thrown in for good measure.
This being a sex site, some people do get their kicks in very strange ways! |

I think the OP may have been wanting to start some banter in his intent but I suppose like stand up its all in the delivery..

Shows how bad your view of southerners is if you chose to move to your idea of hell.
Given you call Cheshire north my guess your level of iq equals the number of friends in jolly old mary poppins cor blimey guvnor town.
and no I'm not a defensive manc. I grew up in a posh southern town and have lived in Newcastle Leeds london. |

I wish I was as broad minded and adventurous as a southerner.a day trip to oxford would be a safari!
If the south truly does not value anywhere north of watford, tell your Westminster chums to cancel HS2 and save billions.

Lol..they are..in all honesty l love it up here. I love the honesty of straightforwardness. Lol is that a word. Sure you are going to meet twats up here. But l haven't and l go everywhere l like including pubs where it goes kinda quiet with that " your not from around here are you look "
Love it. Yeah it has a hard edge..but the people just crack on. I get called treacle, cockney bastard, southern softy and when they hear l support crystal palace..most fall about laughing and then show a kinda sneaking support lol.
My whole view of the north has changed..hard times over a very long time has created a very proud people, hard, tough, humourous in adversity. And frankly they are the first to offer a stranger a hand when help is needed. Sorry to those who didn't get or understand the intended humour..l sharn't give up the day job..or tread the comedy club circuit up here lol

Where in the thread does it say the north is undervalued.
Our description of anyone north of Watford is a northerner, it's not a derogatory term it's a fact. You are north from us. |
