The difference between shandy drinking bed-wetting southerners, and flat cap wearing whippet owning mushy pea loving northerners.

Well....I found it funny.

[Lizzie Zoom]

That is so near to being the truth!

When travelling around London everyone keeps their heads down and tries very hard to not communicate with others.

In the northern part of England I have found the complete reverse of that and have had so many good conversations out of the blue with Liverpudlians, Lancashire and Yorkshire folk especially, but strangely even fellow Southerners suddenly overcome come their life long reticence and find their voices beyond even saying "Hello"!!!

 If northerners dont keep talking their brains start to work then there will be problems

Yeah, they'll all move down here

Best thing we ever did was move out of London in 1987, was back down there earlier this month for a funeral and was glad to get back home, got to go back on Thursday to have valuations on two properties that have been left to SWMBO how quickly they sell remains to be seen, could be a Bentley Turbo in the garage soon if all goes to plan..😁

Will she let you drive it, too?

I think the North / South divide is a media creation. If it does exist at all, its wildly exaggerated.
Gives people a reason to have a moan and have a chip on their shoulder.

I lived in London for long enough. The reason people don't speak to each other is because they don't speak each others language.

True. 
Most English speakers moved out years ago. The poor ones to Clacton, the wealthier ones around me. Its easy to spot them, they all drive out in front of me at junctions. 
They live in big houses, drive nice cars and talk like Phil Mitchell.

Even the black cab drivers commute in from Essex. Or at least they did, till Uber took over.

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Yep, used to be one lived near here. A long way to go to work, but better than living in London.
Having dais that, my Daughter lives right in the middle and wouldnt live anywhere else.  She is intelligent, but not wise.

I used to visit a mate in Braintree when I was at Colchester. It was lovely then, no doubt full of London exiles now.

A lot live in Thanet. Imagine running up and down the A299 and M2 everyday in a black cab, a car that makes a Defender feel like a masterpiece of ergonomics and comfort.

I was on leave in Liverpool from Catterick, with a few other squaddie mates. We missed the last train on Sunday night and we knew we would be in very deep shit if we weren't there on Monday morning. So.......we got a black cab! 
The driver couldn't believe his luck, it was mid 70's and he charged us £50....up front, of course. 60 mph flat out for about 4 hours, and he had to turn around and drive back. Happy days.
