The North / South Divide

I'd have to say both:lol:
I would argue with you but given that I've yet to see a ugly girl emerge from 'Colony A' I feel unable. :(

Can I just make one point clear. I'm not discriminating against the South at all. I don't like anyone not born in or living assimilated into the Great Metropolitan Borough of Wigan ;)
Tis a sinking ship. One which has failed to provide consistently and one which has brought the name of the nation into disrepute:
Wiki said:
Wigan was once important for coal mining and cotton textile production. The Leeds-Liverpool canal was used extensively to transport local produce. In 1818 William Woods introduced the first power looms to the Wigan cotton mills. These mills swiftly became infamous for their dangerous and unbearable conditions, low pay and use of child labour. After the 1914-18 war there was a boom followed by a slump from which Wigan's textile industry did not recover. The last working cotton mill, the May mill, closed in 1980. The novel Rose by Martin Cruz Smith is centered around the Victorian era coal mining in Wigan.

Note that your claim of the coal and cotton mills being the secret behind the British Empires success finds itself seriously late in date for the establishment of the Empire. I mean, what is there that's good to say about the place?

Make the best with what you've got, come up here to the Lakes and look at the views and then tell me you've got better land down there :D. Its got character rather than endless flat rape fields :p

Could do with some cutlery, the dishwasher is playing up. :mischief:

We have Leythe, Plank Lane, Platt Wazz, Giro City. What more do you want?
The Verve, JJB Sports, The guy who sings "When I was cleaning Windows". Wigan Dominates!
*Stands Proudly with Hands on Hips* again.
The most important thing being, we have our own Monopoly :D

"Monopoly-the Dole Edition".
The one where you wait six hours to collect £20 quid, before being evicted and having your head smashed in by the rozzers, isn't it?

Africa is arguably one of the most beautiful continents in the world. And what economic, diplomatic, political and manufacturing trailblazers that place knocks out! :rolleyes:

Beauty is all well and good when you've got nothing better to do. But some us down here in the south are busy maintaining this nation's greatest while you guys go on your 'piss in the lakes picnics'.

:lol: Nice one. But transparent again. Of course your dishwasher is playing up. You need power for that. Maybe in time these things that we all take for granted in the 1st world will trickle into your consciousness some day (but I ain't holding my breath).

Little grubby things, for little grubby minds. Ahhhh. So sweet.

Aye, it dominates the bottom of all performance league tables.

I hear that this is the most comfortable stance for those with piles.

What you mean is you've got loads of steel girders hanging around in those now DEFUNCT factories and warehouses. Got all the steel you need, to pilfer, nick and sell on to your fellow crack addicts, I can't deny that.

You commented on the land not what use it was elsewhere :), we nearly got the American Secretary of State up here awhile back, in the end she decided not to come for reasons we wont go into :p

How can we in the lake district be short of power???? we're right next to sellafield, we're all radioactive not short of power:P.

And contrary to modern science you dont get diseases with radioactivity you get super powers. Right now i have flight and transparency am working on shooting fire from my eyes :)

Oh yeah, that's something that has churned out the greatest minds in the country. :rolleyes: Real indicator of greatness that one :rolleyes:

I don't follow this toffy nonsense, like you desperate social climbers and wanna-bes.

And there we go. Trying to harbour dangerous war criminals. Can you say "Taliban"?

BBC News said:
British Nuclear Fuels (BNFL) has acknowledged that the Sellafield nuclear plant in Cumbria is to shift focus from reprocessing spent nuclear fuels to managing radioactive waste.

I think those last three bolded words refer to the population actually.

Like noncon mentioned, your brain has been completely adled by all the radioactivity that's fallen into your black pudding. There's little hope for you other than to look around at your fellow crippled community members and know that you might have got off a bit more lightly than them.
 
So you dont follow football like the middle a lower class, dont follow boat racing like the upper class.

What class do you belong too??? the remedial class (oooooooooo stinger :D:D:D)

Well they were getting spanked by a team from Manchester.

K if you dont follow that lets take a look at music, Oasis, the Beatles among others hail from up here.

The decomissioning is taking place over a great number of years.

Like noncon mentioned, your brain has been completely adled by all the radioactivity that's fallen into your black pudding. There's little hope for you other than to look around at your fellow crippled community members and know that you might have got off a bit more lightly than them.

Want further proof of northern awesomeness watch 28 days later, insane virus let out from down south, was either Huntingdon life sciences or Cambridge institution i cant remember which and then they end up escaping up here in Cumbria (incidentally i live pretty close to where that was filmed :))

Not being indigenous to this country, I've found myself a member of most of them at varying points in my life. And that's the thing - social mobility is an option for me and others in the south. The only mobility you guys have is deciding which sweatshop to send your 5 year old son to next.

Let's look at the Beatles then. 2 are dead and 2 are insane. Great. And who owns their back catalogue? A plastic paedophile who knows not whether he is black or white.

Oasis? Gimme a break. These are some prats who immitate the now dead and insane folk mentioned previously. It's typical of a northern philistine to bring these sorrowful warts up in the context of cultural greatness.
