Nottingham isn't north!

As a southerner (right on the coast) - everything north of Basingstoke is "up north" and the midlands don't exist.

I know a few people in London, never got that impression!

I'd personally hate to live there! Which is just as well really, cos I couldn't afford to live there anyway.

I thought the M4 motorway was the North/South Border?

Avenged7Fold · 14 Dec 2016 at 08:47

For me, anything past Milton Keynes is 'The North'.

It was always Potters Bar Services for me, until I got my "head turned" by a Lancashire lass and emigrated there

Reminds me when I used to attend Argyle games as a child, any team we played usually had northern ******* chanted at them, even the likes of Torquay and Exeter. Plymouth Argyle is the most southerly team in the country so I guess it is technically true...

Just remember, you can take the lad out of the South but you can't take the South out of the lad

This life advice works for many social and dating occasions. Eating tasteless sausage - not just for Christmas!

I'd likely do this myself, if I didn't care about the workplace.

Wrong, north is north of the M27

This whole thread reads like an incredibly repressed person trying not to use profanity.

"That fuddle table is a right fuddling pain in the bottom, and if you mother fuddlers don't do something about it pronto I will fuddle you right up the fuddle."

SPG · 14 Dec 2016 at 13:42

Stop taking the fuddle of out my fuddling fuddle. You mother fuddling fuddlers.

MikeTheNative · 14 Dec 2016 at 13:46

Stop fuddling about and get that sausage in you.
