Is this how the metropolitan elite see the North?
« on: 22 June 2019, 12:08:48 »

Obviously a piss take but I wonder if it some 'posh boys' from the South believe the stereotype.

I really would hope not in 2019, even if they ever/we did.

I have not got a sense of humour Opti with this subject, and anything to do with stereotyping. That is probably as I am a Southerner brought up by parents, one from Royal Tunbridge Wells and the other an Eastender, who understood what had been achieved by the people in the North and had nothing but respect for them.  I still have and can never find this type of humour anything but cringe making and stupid :o :o

Sorry to be so serious! :-* :-* ;)

I suppose it works both ways, Lizzie.

I know people from the North who believe all the people from the south are shandy drinking bed-wetting southern nancy boys.

That the Irish are thick......

That the Scots are mean......

That scousers are born with glue on their fingers.......

The list is endless. :)

Must say, I didn't get that sketch... :-\

We have a pretty broad spread at work, including a 'genuine' Geordie and a bloke from Newcastle ;D There's also a bloke from Wales (bless him) and a chap from Worthing with just a little bit too much Traveller in him :D

But if you want actually offensive, my aunt in East Grinstead got a letter from the Scientologists offering to by her house for 25% over market value plus $10,000 moving costs with the guarantee that they would never sell or let it to Muslims because they don't want East Grinstead to become a Muslim enclave like Woking :-X

Us Southerners are a sophisticated bunch ::)

The intolerant are always with us and I think that is why I find stereotyping rather offensive as I think there could always be an underlying agenda.

Coincidentally I heard Floella Benjamin, Baroness Benjamin, OBE, DL this morning on the BBC talking about the Windrush generation, today the 22nd of June, not only being my birthday, but the day in 1948 when the HMT Empire Windrush landed the first immigrants at Tilbury from the Caribbean.

She went explained why she is called the Beckenham Dame and the incident in 1960 when her parents were looking at a house to buy in Beckenham, Kent.  Apparently neighbours phoned 999 and told the police that a load of black people were in the house and robbing it of all it's fixtures and fittings.  That day is the day they decided to buy the house and live there! :D :D :y

In the early twentieth century it was the Northerners being prejudiced against by the Southern 'respectable society', then it was the blacks and now it is the Islamic people undergoing what is actually fear of something others do not understand, in other words ignorance. ;)

I think we as people are tolerant.......up to a point. However, human nature means we all have our likes/dislikes and preferences.

However tolerant to others 'we believe ourselves to be' we all make a judgement on other people.

Make a list of ten 'types' of people you may live next door to. I guarantee nobody will be happy to live next door to all 'types' equally.

Human nature, I'm afraid. :)

my son's future mother in law is from Royal Tonbridge Wells.

She phoned my wife yesterday, but was worried that she might not be able to understand her, what with us being from (near) Liverpool.

Wife has a telephone voice, which is slightly Home Counties.

I have never had any difficulty in understanding the Liverpudlian accent and just love it.  So very different from my Eastend mum's GPO trained voice from the 1940's ;D ;D ;D ;)

It is strong Geordie dialect that still I cannot understand, which a good Geordie works friend of mine often demonstrated to me when I boldly stated I could understand his accent!  He actually was a Northern snob, and although he was born and bred in Newcastle, he detested his own accent and tried to become more 'Southern' in sound.  :o :o :o :P

How sad and what a mistake.  We should all be proud of where we are from and never try and change who we are! :)

I hate the scouse accent (sorry STEMO) when John Bishop comes on the telly I want to throw it out the window.
Brummy accent makes me want to top myself as they all sound clinically depressed.
I don't even like the Belfast accent. I thick Belfast accent is almost as bad as scouse. ;D
Don't mind Geordie, or west country, and love a welsh accent. They sing you a song rather than speak to you.
Worst of all though is French. The most horrible sound on gods earth.
Don't know why were commenting on this though, as none of us are likely to be Metroplolitan elite.  ::)

Regarding stereotypes, if they weren't strongly founded on truth rhey wouldn't be at all funny and therefore no point.

Back in the eighties I had a girlfriend who decided not to view a car after speaking to the 'owner' on the phone.

"He has a Liverpool accent" she said

"So what" I said

"It will either be stolen or they will mug as when we arrive" she said.

She was a 'home counties' girl......posh totty for me. ;)
