Northern way of life thinking !

[Leekbrookgull]

Just been listerning to some guy on Radio 5 saying which way he will vote. Well not voting Tory 'cause look what they have done' pit closures lose of heavy industry etc. Get real man,it was going to happen anyway ! Perhaps if you took your head out of the sand and moved into the real world 'Big business' would move in. Maybe one or two other Nsc user's have veiws ?

Tory board, no point discussing

My mum, who's northern, always uses that Northern catchphrase "Iy've voulted Lay'ber all me life....." when it comes to election time, and it really winds me up. The fools never seem to realise that having been in power for 13 years Labour are about as left wing and socialist as Das Reich. Why can't northerners just accept capitalism, even after they've moved down south to escape their abject poverty and slum clearances? Northerners seem to be stuck in a romantic time-warp when Politicians did care about the people they served. But it's not been like that for 20years+ now at least. It's all about look after number one, get rich quick or die trying etc, and that includes the so called lefties now. So you might as well vote Tory or Liberal and stop pretending Labour look at for the common man.

Not all northerners are like this, but it does annoy me when I get them telling me that they're so much friendlier up here than down south.

Here we go, another NSC thread of sweeping generalisations.

Yep another of my mum's favourites. Again, I learnt to counter this many years ago with "no, they're just nosey-er than southerners mum"

Tis what makes it great though?! And by and large, when it comes to N v S debates, the northerners definitely need taking down a peg or two. We wouldn't give a f** about such debates if it wasn't for every time someone from Yorkshire gets on the tele, no matter if they're Joe Public or a Z list celebrity they can't wait to tell everyone within seconds of appearing "I'm from Yorkshire yer nooow, gods oown contry

I've lived in the North. It's why I came south again

Southerners not nosey? You've not met my mum then?

Can't agree Juan. Not sweeping. Look at Manchester back in the 80,s it was going like Liverpool (and i don't think that city has ever fully recovered from Hatton) Now Manchester almost has a european feel about it. Northern U/K has alot going for it. Just raise the bar in what you/family want from life.

Absolutely. Go for it!

You don't want me to answer that really do you?

Where in Europe do they pour gravy on their chips? Nothing sophisticated about that if you were heading in that direction

[Leekbrookgull]

I fuckin love living up north.
(although I'd certainly agree that they are living in the past if they they think the Labout party these days are anything like the party they clung to in the 70's/80's)
