They are a damn site friendlier than most Northern people I meet. Thats includes my own north of the border.

Thats why Im down here. Better weather and better people.

Lad I was working with was from Enfield 25 years ago but still got his accent.
Thought I was posh because I didn't sound like Jimmy Tarbuck or Cilla Black and didn't go round calling everyone 'wack'.
Oh, and I also said 'please' and 'thank you' to the canteen staff!

 

[gassafeman]

Thats a good point conny. Because I dont 'speak' Scottish now, Im assumed not to be.

I speak politely, with manners. I guess that now Im in London, Im a southern poof.

Ill live with it.

Paul.

Might be a southern softie to some but I'm north of any where south of here so I'm a northerner to.

I can't stand people saying Pasty instead of pasty or scone instead of scone. and then those people in Devon putting the jam under the cream! whats that all about!

Paul.

Shouldn't you change your location then

In Brum they don't conjugate the verb "to be" correctly, I am, you am, we am etc.

Jam first so that you don't put the creamy knife in the jam pot.

For me, the North is anyone beyond Portsdown Hill.

You are confusing Brummies with Black Country folk such as Wolverhampton, Dudley, Walsall etc.

I don't have a hang up with accents per se (scouse is a bit harsh) it is just the 'wiv fing' i can't stand.
