Urban75's north - south divide: definitive statistics

[A380]

The whole of Norfolk and Suffolk are imaginary. Don't waste your battery charge trying to find them.

Absolutely. The beaches are rubbish, the broads national park is basically a window box and Norwich Is like a pie man’s Luton. Don’t bother coming here…

The North starts at Watford.

This is about right but at the same time, The South starts somewhere in Sutherland.

That sounds fair.

 

[spitfire]

Right that’s that sorted. Anyone for a cup of tea?

[brogdale]

See, even by those figures the East is the fourth most populous region of England and far more populous than both Scotland and Wales. And yet we are forsaken…

I reckon things went downhill for the region when they stopped beaming us "And now, LIVE from Norwich...it's the quiz of the week..."

Everything beyond Heathrow is the West Country.

Norwich is just a huge mustard factory and a rubbish football team.
It's like Milton Keynes without the concrete cow.

I went to the 'spoons in Hayes (Middx) once and there were more Welsh cask beers on draught than English ones; you're not wrong...things get quite exotic out there very quickly.

Apart from Wales obvs.

That’s Wales.

QED.

"bap" is a funny word.

Yes, it’s really not worth visiting. No one should bother.

And Cornwall

Deleted to placate the pearl clutchers.

West Country.

West Country.

They’d burn you in a large wicker scone if they heard you saying that west of the Tamar.

I’m not going back to Cornwall until they build a proper 4 lane superhighway or at least a high speed train.

So I should be safe.

Next time you are in a Greggs be sure to ask the girl behind the counter if you can squeeze her baps to see how soft they are.

Worked better when it was still a baker

 

[seeformiles]

And Cornwall

Cornwall is the only place that’s made me pay money so I could leave it. As there’s better coastline elsewhere, they’re welcome to it and I have no plans to return anytime soon.

Better still if it hadn't appeared at all to wreck the thread vibe; "girl"..FFS

Ah yes one of our newer posters I see

 

[kabbes]

Is that just Kabbes or anyone?

Many things progress to punching kabbes in the face. Not six times, though. Because after the first attempt, it’s all HI-YAHH and karate chops and big bad guys lying in a heap all groaning and clutching themselves in a comedic manner

 

[kabbes]

Last time I was in Wales (October), we went to a local shop that advertised baps and before I had processed the words in my head, I asked the young lady, “can you show me your baps”. Then I froze, horrified at what had happened but fortunately she didn’t seem to notice and just whopped her baps out for me to inspect, regardless.

One that joined almost 6 months before anyone arrived from AVF, if that's what you're thinking.

True enough, but they don't seem to need any defending; if the refUKer thread is anything to go by they appear to be able to rally round their own without any assistance.

You were doing so well till then. Watford the Midlands ?!!? It’s on the fucking tube. Which makes it more ‘London’ than most of South London…

Watford is indeed on the London Underground system, but it is not on "the tube."

Earlier this year I went on the Metropolitan Line (check the "Tube" map on TfL) to Watford which brought me Cassiobury Park and the rather lovely miniature railway. My first visit to this Northern town and I found it really rather nice.

The Metropolitan Line is an Underground line; it is not a tube line.

FFS, I am not defending that poster.
