North Versus South – The new divide Thinking about the north south divide the other day and realised: THE PROBLEM with NORTHERNERS is that when they say “The South” they actually mean London. No-one in Manchester has a picture of a Devonshire farmer in their heads when they’re calling southerners soft, they’re aiming it right at the capital city. Same down south. I’ve never been down to Dorset/Cornwall/West Sussex and heard anybody slag off Lancashire or bitch about the Cumbrians, it wouldn’t make any sense. They’re too far apart from each other to have any kind of significant historical rivalry and I mean why wouldn’t someone from Brighton enjoy a pint or two of ale with a fellow from Bolton? There is no pre-programmed reason for either end to hate the other. The south does not have “a problem” with the north. The north is *absolutely fine* with the south. They just both hate London. So now that we’ve established the new divide, which is actually London versus the rest of the country, can we crack on please and see a bit more brotherly love across the country? PEACE !
Comments! DAN Mon 08 Aug 2009 When I think of southerners, there is only one face that springs to mind. It usually has bits of yesterdays chinese poking out the corner of it's mouth and is preparing to drink some cider (for breakfast). FLETCH Mon 08 Aug 2009 lol very true!
