Despite the claims all of the Northerns I’ve ridden with in Wales can’t see to live up to their claims, the Southerns were still going 🙂

[SpinMember]

Wales

Well I suppose they look like mountains to southerners. 😉

[doboMember]

I DONT have multiple coffee devices! but otherwise that fairly accurate
im so southern im not sure i get the dinner and rolls references..,
do northerners refer to bacon baps instead of rolls or something?
what do they call dinner? or are they not allowed it? sigh :/ where’s my wine..

[andytherocketeerSubscriber]

good choice 🙂

Pissing down- yes.

erm. just along the road is officially one of the driest places in the country afaik. certainly noticed it rained a lot more when I moved away.

proud to be 100% kentishman dangerously close to being a londoner, but I’ll stick to pie-n-mash, and let them keep their jellied eels tyvm, while the northeners can keep their congealed, fried, pig’s blood.

and I have a Spanish Audi.

Breezy night = Don’t panic Mr Mainwairing!

[wreckerMember]

All seems very passive aggressive to me. I’m from brizzle, never even heard of the north/south divide until I joined the army. I was genuinely confused by the cockanees and yorkshires harping on about flat caps and shandy. They all liked the phrase “coider I up lan’lorrrd” 😀

[Kryton57Subscriber]

I must admit I have succumbed to Yorkshire Gold. Still, diversity is good.
