SheffDS Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 The title says it's about all Northerners, but loads of the references are particularly to Sheffield and South Yorkshire. http://usvsth3m.com/post/65623530326/18-things-only-northerners-living-down-south-will (Sorry about the other thread with the wrong title, I don't know how to change it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mecky Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I lived in Caversham / Reading for about a year and the hostility I got was great. But at least I had a car that went more than a mile without conking out, I didn't need to try and prove I was better than everyone else, I didn't drink 2 pints of weasel urine and then go home and give the Mrs a good kicking.

SheffDS Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 Lol Mecky! I'm living near London and I'm basically a foreign species to them. Don't really get much real hostility though, just people who are a bit stuck up sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Hans Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 There are many things down south that are better though. Sheffield is good because we were born here and there's a certain affection for it. I actually like the fact I'm different down there, having said that, it's such a diverse city, London, that you might go all day without speaking to an actual Londoner.

Hillpig Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 The photo of the Yorkshire Dales in the link isn't the Yorkshire Dales. What is the Serengeti, maybe or the broad plains of central USA, maybe the Amazon? Is that Ayres rock in the distance? Don't be pedantic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harleyman Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 We moved down to Sussex when I was fifteen. I had a broad Sheffield accent at that time. The school I was transferred to was about a year behind the Sheffield school. I got into a couple of fights with kids making fun of my accent. Luckily I was a pretty hefty kid back then so I prevailed. After that I was left well alone. I still prefer Yorkshire folk when I take a trip back to the UK. The southerners partcularly the Londoners are either reserved or snobbish but I can excuse Londoners as they're not much different from any other people forced to live together in close proximity in great big overpopulated cities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truman Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 The photo of the Yorkshire Dales in the link isn't the Yorkshire Dales. I didn't see it described as the Dales...just Yorkshire.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeX Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Nothing wrong with being proud to be a northerner, just don't think you are better than everyone else though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
