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

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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)

    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.

    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! 🙂

    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.
