One of the best things about being Southern is that if I [i]really[/i] wanted to live up north, I could!

Marvellous! Post of the week, if not more!

you listed all the plus points but forgot to mention it's full of northerners.
there's always a catch.

Spent the weekend in London. Fell in love with the place all over again.

Yep and as I live up north....I have just ridden 20 miles of pure moorland singletrack,come home to my cheap house had a shower, popped out for a couple of pints of proper beer and there's a big lass giving me the eye. Might cost me a bag of chips but heh..... life's brilliant up north.

London no way crap riding expensive beer women are to picky

worst thing about the north this time of year?

it's full of ****in southerners mincing round our mountains

I wouldn't mind living in the North, but Northerners might.

ok, i'll try asking you lot:

i've got 4 hours to kill in London on Friday afternoon, i've got to make my way from st Pancras to Waterloo - i guess that'll take half an hour?

what's London* got to offer me?

'the 90's arcade game musuem (free)' or something would be good...?

(*which i genuinely believe to be the best city in the world**)

(**it's just not for me)

Porn shops 😯

I live midlands but never travel south to ride ever

i live up north but travel south to shag your slim attractive women

You've all got it wrong, even London's too far north, too bloody cold and too bloody wet. 😉

Cheap houses? Ever seen Harrogate prices? Or Ilkley? :-O

or S10?

(stumpy: [i]that's[/i] the idea! - any more?)

I'm slowly growing to appreciate living in the midlands. **** all local apart from Woburn/Chicksands, but it's a good central location with access to both northern and southern trails!

+1 for the Yeti!

you could always feed the pigeons in trafalgar square ? do they still do that ? but dont ask me its years since i went to London... once had an aunt and went to stay with her over the summer hols when i was a wee nipper, and she used to take us on a proper tour of London...everyday we would be going out on the 'tube to some exciting historical place...
once went in st pauls cathedral and up to the 'whispering gallery'...if you stood at one end and whispered into the wall then the other person at t'other end could hear you (so they say) 😉 we had great times in London...
i could never live there tho... too hectic and too FLAT ! no hills for cycling up...bah..... nah im happy in singletrack land...many hills many decents , much rocky terrain. fantastic 😉

"where you are ain't no good unless you can get away from it"

can i shoot the pigeons in trafalgar square? - that'd be much more fun.

but seriously, what to do with 4 hours in central ish london onner friday afternoon?

i don't want to drink, i won't be hungry, my yorkshire pounds won't go very far, is there a street theatre thing i can watch? that sort of thing...

It's shite up north, big hills, proper beer. You don't want that 😆

A few people I know at work moved up here cos it is so boring down South.

Where I live it is flat but I can see the Yorkshire Moors one way and the Yorkshire Dales the other. Can ride to either in under an hour.

Wot you got?

proper beer up North ? lol.

"Do you want a flake with that"

Tinting - where are you? I can see the dales/ stainburn from my front door and a five minute walk to see the moors/hambleton etc...

Tinribz even - damn autocorrect

What is the last pic? A pint of urine?

I moved down south to Yorkshire - if I go much further it's France is it not?

Not sure what the pint is - used brake fluid?

(ahwiles ..at last a kindered spirit) 4 hrs so after porn you could check out the phone boxes for porn cards (free to collect),sit still for 15 minutes and watch the busy freak show that is London, buy anything you like to eat (no fish & chip shops down there)check out the totty etc etc have a good afternoon down there.

up north is full of blokes just like me.............imagine that. 😆

(*which i genuinely believe to be the best city in the world**)

(**it's just not for me)

See you, right? You're all right you are. X 😀

This going to turn into another north/south debate I fear....

Cheap houses 0 not in Cheshire.
Cheshire by definition is a mini downsouth oop North.
