Oxford is 65 and that's the Midlands according to the road signs on the M27. Plus it's full of dreadful spivs who'd sell your grandma if you left her unattended. I hope you haven't become Southist based on your experience in Lahndan..... It's the South, can't argue with Wiki. Van der MoodHoover 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't stick a lazy label on all of the South based on traveling to one microcosm that has nothing in common with 99% of people who live down here. Come down and do some Morris dancing followed by hazy pie.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and the downward pointing little blue bit, roughly where Grimsby is. It's almost as though someone has taken a marker pen to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angieram Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 I'd think an awful lot of East Anglians wouldn't think they lived in the South. Cambs and Essex,maybe. As for South-West, there's a rural sub-culture there that makes them very distinct from the rest of the South. It's easier to spot a southerner from their (incorrect) sense of superiority over the rest of us. It's a bit like the sense of entitlement some Derby fans have!

On the contrary, here at Mogg Towers I think you’ll find we’re very tolerant of northerners 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turk Thrust Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 I decamped from Derby for work reasons back in 1983 and after a couple of years living in an attic in Harley Street London, I moved to Upton Park and then where I am now, leafy Woodford Green. All this talk of Southerners and Northerners etc made me me think. Of all my mates and neighbours down here, there are very few actually born in London. They come from all over the UK, with a few from overseas. None of them think of themselves as Southerners apart from one or two who were born dahn sarf. ariotofmyown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Son has lived in Willesden Green, Wimbledon and Enfield Wash now back in Derby, We'd visit 3/4 times a year, Prices in those areas for a beer weren't to far from what we pay here in Derby, Centre of London is where I found the prices to move further north 😁, When doing one of the parks in central London for an ice-cream I was charged the tourist rate...until I told her I wasn't a tourist, She understood when with my northern accent we use the U and not the A in an Anglo Saxon word 😉 London's a good day out but wouldn't want to live there 🤷♂️ richinspain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
