This thread is well funny, proper made me laugh. Being originally from London but spent most my life growing up in Derbyshire I've got used to hearing both southern and northern accents. What I dont understand is why so many northerners dislike people from the south and think you are posh lol, what's that about? I don't hear people from down south moaning about northerners this and that. Who cares, we're all from England, last time I checked

I'm from sarf London so anything north of the Thames is a foriegn country with strange dialects to me!
Anyway,I blame them Romans,they built that Hadrians Wall about
200 miles to far north.

I thought Mock The week was really funny, as I do most weeks
I am Northern and don't have a problem with a different accent, can just take time to get used to it.
I generally don't get complaints about my accent, just that I can talk too fast, but I'm a woman with plenty to say
I do find it quite funny that as yet, people seem to regard Yorkshire as the furthest point North within England

How about 'Put wood int'ole'.. Never felt the need to say it personally, but it's a good one for confusing non-Tykes.
