Question northerner trapped in a southerner???!!

thats right!!! could i be??!!

everytime i come back down from being north way i dislike the south more, yeah ok weather might be nicer down here but up there most people are more friendly, more places to go and althought its been said the roads down here are better, i think opposite

i also seem to get along better with people up there including strangers that are just bumped into (no offence to S&W lot, you guys lovely )

It all depends on what you want from an area, I prefer it down here over Nottingham. But i do like visiting and some of the roads are cracking, i wouldn't want to live there again though. Too much hussle and bussle and theres alot more traffic aswell and alot more traffic police. My area of the south west seems so much more relaxed than up in the midlands, yes places arn't as accessible without major effort to get to them but thats the only major downside i can think of!!! You'll have to join me for a ride some time Wideboy, didn't get chance to introduce myself properly the other day I was abit wet and miserable!!!

You might like the North better, but theres an awful lot of your beer sat in my garage which IMHO balances things out nicely..

Well it does for me anyway !!!

I'm a London lad southerner (born in Woolwich) turned midlander.

I don't want to go back to London to live. But one day we'll return to Cornwall - we lived there in between times for 7 very happy years

my dad came down to the south coast (poole at first i think) from Dagenham and I've been up to his old house and old haunts a few times, last time being in feb and it was a right crap whole


duno just seem to fit better with northerners, is it the cheeky accent that's makes me fit in better oop thar?

That's odd. For some reason I really want to go to the west country. The further down that way I go the more I like it.
