Bush Tucker Man:
You Are In The North When...

1. You have more than one Hot Water Bottle in the kitchen drawer
2. When you ask for brown toast, and people find you the slice of white that looks the darkest
3. People know what to do with Lard
4. You can park your car directly outside your house
5. People ask if there's a discount for cash
6. You go home for your tea before you go out on the town
7. You are comfortable in just a t-shirt in the snow

You Know You Are in The South When...

1. You discover there are more 'Life Coaches' & feng Shui experts than Plumbers in the Yellow Pages
2. You see signs on peoples gates saying; No Casual Callers' & 'No Turning'
3. You notice all the Bus Shelters are Mock Tudor
4. Peoples wheelie-bins have leafy camoflage covers
5. You realise the place is full of people who send their children away to school  (can't disagree with this one :wink: )
6. Everything costs, at the very least, twice as much as it does up North.

Discuss :lol:

Ooops i have a (no turning) sign on the gate , only because i have had to replace the brick piers  5-6 times i now have a6ft length of railway track buried 3ft in ground with a barrow of concrete around the base ,not pretty next door cringed when i did it but very effective only have paint marks to contend with now , yes i sent my son to boarding school i wanted him to do better than i in life -he now has a plant hire firm  -i have a wheelbarrow  , lard isnt he the guy on the radio? things cost twice as much in south  well we earn twice as much  but all things equal out somewhere along the way  i find peeps from up north more friendly -or are they just nosey , if you say hello to peeps down here they probably think you want something and look tother way --ooii i dont believe it ive got a Warrior -mini tank turning in my drive  ooi track of somewhere else and do that.

Manicminer:
1 - 7 are the same as here in North Wales, although I would put a layer or 2 more on when in the mountains in a blizzard.

Stephen Tomkinson (the 'Ballykissangel' actor) once, said;
"If you want to freak the hell out of anyone in London, just go on the Tube & say; Good Morning" to a complete stranger"

I believe that's true.

Wayne Hemmingway (fashion designer, or something? & from Bolton)
"If I could end my current life & be like Fred Dibnah, I'd be really really happy.
What's wrong with 'nice'?
People in the South hate that word, but the North is simply 'nice' "

Bush Tucker Man:
Just whereabouts is the North/South divide???? :lol:
