"I have never visited the north but heard a lot of gritty northern me. I have never been with one so am I fortunate or not fortunate and if anyone has been. Whats it like in the north and what are gritty northern men actually like?" There's no real difference, it's a fallacy. They do tend to be a little scruffier though, especially in Yorkshire. | |||

"More to the point..wait until you meet some gritty northern women They are well scary, each of my Aunts could make grown men cry and still get a dinner on the stove They all looked like Les Dawson " Totally agree. When there was a lot of talk about women getting equality with men, my mom and aunties would always say that they would never let the men get equal with them. And we aren’t properly northern!! | |||

"Are northerners more friendly? As a rule, the further north you go, the more friendly people are* *Until you reach Scotland " In my experience folk are pretty friendly wherever you go, and I have covered the vast majority of this Island. However as a rule of thumb, if you head South East, people seem to be less friendly and more miserable than those you meet if you head South West. Up North, pretty cool folk really. | |||

"Isn't there some old law in Berwick on T that's says you can kill a Scotsman with an arrow, but only if it's fired from the city walls. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. But having said this, why would you want to kill a Scotsman, they're really nice... especially the ginger ones "I heard similar about a Welshman in Hereford or somewhere. | |||

I heard similar about a Welshman in Hereford or somewhere."It was a panic law in 1403 because of attacks by Owain Glyndwr's rebellion. It was beheading, not arrows. | |||

Apparently Southerners wouldn't last 5 minutes up North, but Northerners are more friendly. | |||

No worries I can just assure you that we would make you feel more than welcome in fact when we played you at the SOL this season for our first home game the West Ham fans were in good voice and mixed well with us in the pubs 👍 No hard feelings from me you didn’t need to mention the start of the season 😩, my closest friend is from Sunderland and he’s mad for it. I even went as far as buying a Newcastle home shirt and stuck it over the back of his chair in our office. No hard feelings from me either 👌🏼⚒️ Pmsl 🤣 You were brave mind 😁 As you will know we live and breathe our football up here it’s in our blood but we also appreciate the real football fans like yourselves who have been through some tough times but still back your team to the hilt not like some of the glory supporting teams that I could mention I wish you well for the rest of the season and look hopefully look forward to welcoming you back at the SOL next season 👍 Ha’way the Lads 👊" I'm pretty sure you'll be playing each other in the season after next. | |||

"If a southerner moves up north ... Do they become a northerner? Or vice versa" As a person raised in Surrey I own a hostess trolley. A local Suffolk friend said you can take the man out of Surrey but not Surrey out of the man when we eentertained. If I moved north would I be allowed to bring it with me? | |||

"I’m a northerner by birth but at the moment live in the swamps of Lincolnshire. I live in a small town which has seen a huge increase in southerners moving in. When I speak to them they say they have moved for a better quality of life because London, Essex etc has turned to shi*t over the years" Nah, they moved to live off the vast capital of thier south east property sale. When you're out of earshot, they'll be telling each other how shit Lincs is. I know because I have family who did precisely this. I visit them often, it's got nice bits and shitty bits same as anywhere. Isn't Lincs in the Midlands though? I travel a lot, and other than the people who say such and such is better, there is no noticeable difference whatsoever. There are cunts north and south, and there are friendly people north and south. People will argue about it for ever though. | |||

"I have never visited the north but heard a lot of gritty northern me. I have never been with one so am I fortunate or not fortunate and if anyone has been. Whats it like in the north and what are gritty northern men actually like? There's no real difference, it's a fallacy. They do tend to be a little scruffier though, especially in Yorkshire." Cheeky twat. Straight talking Yorkshireman here. | |||

"A northerner walked into my pub and asked for a pint of bitter complaining that southern bitter was like drinking gnats piss. After four pints of Abbot Ale he literally fell off his barstool. He had to helped out of the pub. Not sure they can drink up there " I'm sure that's true, but it also raises something of a paradox. I live in London and don't consume alcohol at all, I'm completely tee-total. I'm not ashamed of this and will quite openly admit it, knowing that my manhood won't be questioned and that, thankfully, people aren't judged on their alcohol consumption in my part of the world. | |||

It’s just a username ffs Never said I was hard at all if you actually knew me you’d realise I’m laid back and will help anyone out in fact I’d be the first one to jump in and back anyone up if I saw them in trouble it’s just the way I’ve been brought up I really don’t know what your problem is with me mind you obviously have some serious issues in fact I’d say you are evenly balanced you have a chip on both shoulders It’s a shame like as if ever i saw you in trouble I’d be straight in to help you despite our differences | |||

Same here. Totally teetotal despite years of being licenced to sell the stuff and belonging to two of the heaviest drinking organisations--the army and rugby clubs--before that. Self-confessed lightweight where drinking was concerned before giving up completely. Don't think anyone judged me for it. | |||
