You can always boost up our unemployment rate if that is what you want?

Nah - I'm pretty sure there's only one of you - at least I hope so 😉
[i]Cheshire by definition is a mini downsouth oop North[/i]
Oi, careful! I'm from Cheshire, and I ain't no Northern Southern Pansy.
Mind you, I did find living in Cheltenham like a home from home 🙂

... and there's a big lass giving me the eye.
One thing I've noticed about central London is that there are far fewer fat people than in Edinburgh or Glasgow. I love Scotland, but I'm beginning to really like London when I'm there, and not just for the talent.
as there are plenty of northerners on this thread can you tell me why a lot of the middle aged men insist on wearing the same clothes as teenagers?
i have been working with a few from 'oop-there' this last week and they all seem to have an account at a tanning shop, wear jeans with pockets and buckles in strange places and wear tight t-shirts even though they have a paunch (t-shirts with large meaningless logo's).
one of them even had a chain wallet.
lots of spikey hair gel too.
these are middle management types but they look like their teenage children chose their clothes.
are they all like that up there?
4 pints in and she no longer looks fat ? more kind of voluptuous. Might just have to put the laptop away as shes waving a condom at me.
yes

people are definitely shorter and fatter once you get outside london and not just if you travel north.
cheap houses and easy women aren't confined to the North you know. Just shit areas, of which there are more of up north.
As for the riding up there, its as barren and featureless as your women IME...

Most might just expand side ways but nobody is old in the north.

thats because people can't afford to eat in London!
This going to turn into another north/south debate I fear....
Now I'm not one for debating or even arguing on these threads but I'm fairly certain that a debate involves two sides. Some loudly spoken drunkards* consoling each other does not constitute a debate.
*apologies if this particular term does not apply to any of you but stereotypes are hard to shift.
I was recently asked to relocate down South or to be made redundant. It took me all of about 6 nanoseconds to make my mind up. I'll be starting a new job working from home here in Yorkshire in September.
Having said that I've ridden Swinley and Surrey Hills and whilst I wouldn't want it all the time it is very different and a pile of fun. One of the benefits of travelling for a job is I do get to take my bike when it suits.
Depending on the month and what work one or other of us is doing, we either live in London or Bramhall, we quite like both for differing reasons.
up north
naaaah keep it...
.... South West is where its at 😉
last post for tonight...I'm being taken back to her place for coffee and then she says she's going to get rough with me ? Eee its great up north and just perfect for us single speeders 8)
Up North? What like Oxford or Reading? Nah, it's freezing up there! 😛
One of the best things about being Southern is that if I really wanted to live up north, I could!

Hello again.
You city sofisticates are correct - the north is rubbish. Come for a week in july (when it rains) and spend lots of cash, then head south again.
p.s. Cheshire is very much not in the north (of England, let alone Britain)
thats because people can't afford to eat in London!
it's o.k. we have morrisons down here now.
you should have waitrose up there?
so hopefully the gap is narrowing.
and the chick's are easy too
Really? Where? Can you introduce me? 😉
I think we've been borrowing your weather all day. Do you want it back for the weekend?
There's a sign at Watford gap services that says " Last salad for 800 miles"
I don't like it down south. & more to the point, I don't like southerners up here cos you 'tawk fanny'. So, for this excercise why don't we just agree to this, you lot don't darken our doors & we won't grace you with our presence.
and then she says she's going to get rough with me ?
She's going to glass you then get her brothers to drive you out up on't moors and leave you there battered, buggered, bruised and bleeding?

Or...
We simply cut off your benefits, subsidies and food parcels, let you starve to death and then have the North to enjoy without loads of insular parochial miserable bastards making it even more grim and miserable for everyone else? 😉

I'm not on benefits & personally don't know anyone who is. (Oh, except my riding pal who is, but he's just bought a rather nice house in Stokesley for 375K which is probly a bit nicer than the shed you'd get for the same price daarn there) 'food parcels'??? I'm 2 stone overweight, why the f*ck would I want a food parcel??
Did a Lake District loop of 25 miles today, fresh air, big hills, sunny, no wind, (apart from me being Johnny Fartpants after me curry last night) & more importantly...No miseraboo fackin savverners! 🙂
😆 much
Hook.

Sinker....

As my Welsh friend says; 'Im British, and I'll go where the fk I like, regardless of what anyone says'.
Spot on. People come from different places. Deal with it.

Nah, it's just turned into another thread where people attempt to justify why they prefer living in the south.

Because it's better.
THREAD CLOSED.
Everyone go to bed now please.
good morning...wakey wakey.... a little dull up north today 😥
Dumfries is sunny! 8)
For me there is no North/South debate. It's unfair to drag most of the south down with London, when the debate is really London vs. anywhere else.
There is no debate, everywhere in the UK is great, apart from Liverpool!
[i]last post for tonight...I'm being taken back to her place for coffee and then she says she's going to get rough with me ? Eee its great up north [/i]
She's going to get rough and take you up north?
Can you walk today?
worst thing about the north [s]this[/s] any time of year?it's full of ****in southerners mincing round our mountains
Let the Southerners believe what they want, just keep sucking on the car fumes 😡 & keep our hills just for us! 😛
[b]The North made this Country GREAT, but the people in the South KILLED it. FACT!![/b] 😉
ever since i was a kid i had dreams of being able to master time travel, one day i discovered it was easy... just drive north, the only problem is that it makes you think you're having eyesight problems as everything just looses colour and the world turns grey :S
😉
London, to me, would be hell on earth as somewhere to actually live. Loads of great stuff to visit, but when you're on one of the overland tube trains, you see the houses the majority of Londoners live in.
Tiny bits of flat roof turned into a "roof terrace" with 3 pot plants and a deckchair as your outdoor space? Stuff that. Same goes for using the tube on a daily basis - if you made prisoners experience that everyday, Shami Chakrabarti would be straight round with a stern face and a copy of the Guardian.
just looses colour and the world turns grey
Then you truly are a master of time travel... I've seen the newsreels and everything used to be in black and white.
Shami Chakrabarti would be straight round with a stern face and a copy of the Guardian.

something i think we can all agree on is that london is rubbish 😀

agreed, i'm not far from london and i cant bear even driving near the m25 let alone into london, horrible place and everyone who lives there has a weird sense of superiority.
Well its yet another beautiful sunny day up north today. Time to un lease the whippets, feed the pigeons and get a fry up going. True to her word the chip muncher from the pub last night got a bit rough with me but I managed to escape from her flat before she awoke this morning. Out tonight riding even more dry dusty single track, a post ride beer or two and who knows I might just meet the girl of my dreams…… Its BRILLIANT up north.
You know that boy at school who used to bully all the smaller or more vulnerable kids, calling them g@y all the time. Yes, the one you met 15 years later walking around with his boyfriend. It was never a suprise was it? No one really has to try that hard to prove otherwise unless deep down they realise that they're not what they're pretending to be. that's all you Northerners with your protestations of 'The North is much better', that is 😉
un lease the whippets
Things must be tough if you're having to hire purchase your dogs!
I lived in Chester and also a Cheshire village and that didn't feel like the North - also lived in Sheffield and Hull which did. I've been to Harrogate, quite nice, why is everywhere else up there mostly a lot cheaper? Do many people there commute for long distances?
I liked living in London when I was younger and now find Surrey a pleasant place to be but would be happy in Cheshire (not Chester though).
