North-South divide...told you so.
 
You know...the one Bliar said didn't exist?:Whatever_
The one the Tories set out to improve with the "Northern Powerhouse"...which lasted only a few days after the election.:mad:

You should sell up and move south while your house is still worth more than tuppence or buy somewhere on the coast where the prices hold. ;)

For what mine is worth, I'd get nowt down there, plus the southerners would end up getting to me.......

Cannot BEAR the Essex/cockney accent, it sounds utterly effeminate. Yet, somehow, (thanks BBC), we are led to believe that all people who speak like that are hard men...:D

I genuinly like how people Oooop north still bathe in tin baths in their out-houses, ride around on old bikes with loafs of hovis in the baskets, breed whippets, all work in steel factory's and don't have a pot to pi$$ in. Its nostalgic, so hats off to you guys for keeping it real!

Steel factory`s?.

Aye, that's us.

Just realised that when the Tories said Northern Powerhouse, it was just a soft southern pronunciation of Northern POORhouse.

They don't need to work to create that. It's here, now.:(

Meh, in fairness, its not all Ferarri's, champagne and rolex's down here......well, it is, but its all on the never-never, all in the name of image and 'keeping up with the Jones' of course.
