Whinging 'southerners'

[DR_Pingu]

People are people, doesn't matter whether they're from the North, South, Midlands or wherever it's all the same. What I don't get is why the Welsh hate the English, everytime I've been to Wales it's always the same anti England nonsense.

^^^This. It's basically the same as car drivers, motorcyclists and cyclists. There are good people and d**kheads who use all modes of transport, just the same as there are whingers down here as well as (evidently) whingers up there. Can't we all just whinge along?

Also:

I suppose the northerners aren't whinging? Lol. They still bang on about Thatcher 30 years after the fact.

Also, looking at your thread history there's a hefty amount of whinging going on there.

LOL! Just reminded me of Liverpool fans

So much this.

Learn to speak properly Northerner's.

Its all about the whippets and flat caps, being exploited in mills and pits. Balm cakes and such

Will eating jellied eels help me speak properly

Men peeps from the south are often or likely to be gayers and have long girly hair

i think you're confusing southerners with your dad there.

North of the Southdowns is where barbarians and dragons roam !!!

Pay no heed to Faustus, his mind is addled due to the skag & smog clouds.

Ha!

'Northerners' - bitter because it's always raining and all they have to eat are inedibly hot curries and offal.

It's not grim down south, doesn't one know?

Todays thread from Faustus will be "Bloody Cyclists".

No, he has short hair.

North, South...... Who cares? You're still ****ing English.

well said

What is it about southerners? They whinge if it rains, they whinge when it snows, it even makes the national news. The latest in a long line of whinging is the Kings Cross train debacle. Again this has made the national news headlines, network rail boss has had to forgo his bonus and there are questions being asked by government.

So, some much needed engineering works overran, folk missed a few hours of shopping - big deal. We had years of disruption when the west coast mainline was upgraded. That didn't make national news headlines, we didn't demand anyone's head, we simply got on with life.

No wonder the Aussies call the Brits 'whinging poms'. If based on southerners they do have a point.

I really hate it when birds poop on my Range Rover.

You southerners really like the north otherwise you wouldn't come up to the Lake District and see our beautiful landscape and drink our fine ales

You should pick your dates more carefully .

Then we go back home to electric, shops and no fear of being eaten by the jaberwockies.

I am sure he picks his dates very carefully. I am sure he knows it is advisable (with kinds that permit of it) to leave the calyx on the fruit, since if this is pulled off it opens an avenue for the entrance of insects and dirt. I am also sure he knows that bunches left to ripen on the tree frequently need to be protected by a bag of cheese-cloth or similar material, to keep off birds and insects.

There's over 700 million rail journeys per year in London, more than the Midlands and North put together, we actually use it so that's why it gets the spending and that's why it's a big deal when engineering over runs. If a single station closed in the North, do you think the alternative would end up looking like this:

Fed up of all the moaning about the investment London gets, it's the financial capital, get used to it.

Do you know why there's more journeys in London and the South East than other areas?

1 - There's more people (my figures were investment per head, not in total per region)
2 - The infrastructure. More people would travel by train in other parts of the country if the infrastructure existed or (where it does exist) wasn't unfit for purpose!

It's a self fulfilling prophecy. London needs more capacity so build Crossrail. But building Crossrail means businesses choose to locate to London (With its increased capacity) rather than Birmingham or Manchester. This means you need Crossrail 2, which drives further growth which means Crossrail 3 ad infinitum.

I agree on that part, there's plenty of space in the country but everyone has to pile on top of each other in London.

This. Although not the Lakes, my dad's side of the family hail from Cumbria. Fantastic county.
