The ONLY annoying thing about Northerners (which I have very rarely every experienced in London or elsewhere in UK) is their consistent blatant use of IMO derogatory terms for non-whites. Paki, Nigger, Darkie.


Both my parents are from Yorkshire and thankfully they don't do the same, but my extended family and everyone I meet up there through them are inexcusable in their use of such language. Weird thing is they are not saying it out of hatred - more like a habit of usage. One of my cousins dated a Pakistani chap for 2 years but still used aforementioned terminology, even when Jabba was there !


Down here they'd be lynched for that !


I wonder if the 'Huddersfield Forum' has a thread about most annoying traits of SOUTHERNERS....

It's grim up North alright was up there this weekend, it was wet, grey and cold, that's annoying, but that's why the countyside is so much greener and more beautiful. Had a delicious lunch in the country, there are some top restaurants, had an excellent evening in Manchester in the bars in the Northern quarter, as good as anywhere in London. Went to an excellent family party in the most beautiful house up the Lakes, met folks from all classes and had a reet laff. I'm Northern and proud of it.

They are more straightforward to deal with, and they call a spade a fookin shovel.

I have to say, every time I see "Northerners" rattling on about "The North" I can't help to laugh at their delusions.


Look at a map for god's sake - Manchester is in the North is it? Of course it's not you plonkers. Caithness - that's North.


Put some "Northerners" somewhere that is actually "North" and they'd die from exposure within minutes, with their poncey Southern clothes and pretentious ways.

Because the dominant use of language in these discourses id England-centric. There is a "north/south" divide in Scotland, too. The word "sassenach" was used by Highlanders - northerners in Scotland - to refer to people from the south of Scotland, Lowlanders.

As you can see in my hand drawn illustration ( I'm good at colouring in aren't I ) , the Caribbean plate is rapidly shifting right/east.

In due course this will crush the North to a pulp.

Job done !

    • Miranda Sawyer of the (once) Observer has done a piece on festival on Insta which might be of-interest.  Councils are private companies, imo. They make money for themselves, imo.  I do not think by law that they have to follow anything brought up by a consultation, this is for 'face' only - hence, LTNs and everything else.  
    • My understanding is the "free event" is 100% Gala, nothing to do with the council. Obviously Gala will still make money from the food & drink that they are trying to coerce punters into buying on their social media posts. Their costs will be negligible due to already having the infrastructure in place for Gala. So Gala are trying to appear community minded by providing this "free event", but the real goal is to set a precedent for a fourth day's festival - which surely no one could possibly object to?!? - in preparation for applying (again) for two three-day festivals spread over two weekends. It's only another two days, right, and the site & equipment is already there, so why would anyone object?!? More money for the council, much more money for Gala, win-win right? But yet another week of our park taken away from us, too, and another 18,000 people trampling & littering the park, and another week of disturbance for the native birds & wildlife...
    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.
