Urban75's north - south divide: definitive statistics

[Pickman's model]

Interesting, so had I chosen to write "great britain" or "the british isles" instead of "the uk" you would basically agree with me.

You're grasping at straws here, desperate stuff

 

[Pickman's model]

And yet you did not so choose. Just another example of your slapdash approach to thread creation that we have all come to know.

But not love.

Oh, come on then...in the spirit of a jolly thread, and because you're taking a bit of flak here, I'll go with this hypothetical/parallel universe where you posted what you claim you meant and ask...now what is it that you'd like me to agree with?

I chose both carefully and wisely, within the constraints of the forum structure. And we all know that brogdale is not the only one who is in fact persuaded by the wider point. Furthermore, the fact that nearly 100 people have participated in the poll shows a high level of engagement with the issue. Finally the high level of participation fully legitimises the thread premise.

It is not a matter of what I would or wouldn't like. It is simply an opportunity open to you, to join me in encouraging southerners to see more clearly their true place in things; to give up their delusions of northernerhood.

I’m wouldn’t go as far as Cupid, but I agree with the general sentiment that almost all of you are northern

It's a fair call; I've got fam on the Walland marsh who reckon the branch up in Faversham live in the far North.

 

[PTK]

That’s how Putin started with Ukraine…

Lenin was right about Ukraine: the people there do have a distinct language and culture.

 

[PTK]

Hey danny la rouge , teuchter thinks you are basically English. Do you agree?

Is not the claim that the peoples of England and Scotland are part on one nation, which is neither wholly English nor wholly Scottish?

I dunno, I'm quite fond of teuchter and his strange ways...

i suppose i am from fairly far north in the kingdom of kent...

As we've discussed before on here, rather shockingly, the far North of historic Kent was actually North of the Thames! Now that really is a North/South divide

'deserter' did try to campaign to reclaim it

Reclaim North Woolwich! – Deserter

It is time North Woolwich be returned to the lands of its fathers.

the subject came up on a charlton supporters' forum a while back, and someone said either he or his dad had once been a dustman for woolwich borough council, and some days they had to take a dustcart across on the ferry...

 

[Riklet]

For me the North starts north of Kemble not Kendal!

I once knew a half-story about the height of the early tower blocks over there being lower than the norm for Newham because they were planned under KCC regs...probably bollocks, but you never know?

Northerners think that Southerners are dirty because they have toilets inside their houses.

Kent CC wouldn't have had anything to do with the area after 1899 (Woolwich Borough was under London County Council from 1889) unless there was some very specific regulation that had carried across from before that. But plausible that Woolwich Borough had different planning rules to East / West Ham. Some of the industries that set up in West Ham borough weren't allowed in London County.

Eh? Why would the location of the toilet have any impact on cleanliness or personal hygiene?

Southerners think Northerners are dim because they point at planes.

Horses for courses.

Well, en suites are horrific. Admittedly, some southerners, mainly the wives, stress that their downstairs toilets " are not for shítting in ". Excuse the expletives.

Nope, still no clearer on this.

You think that the smell from an en suite after someone has had a number 2 is a delight for all as they sleep in what is practically the same room? Also the same with downstairs toilets next to living rooms and kitchens?

I take it this "Northern" view about cleanliness related the regional disparity in outside/inside toilets is an historic one?

In terms of past and present events, yes.

I see an opportunity to develop an air lock for en suits.

 

[brogdale]

I see an opportunity to develop an air lock for en suits.

Or re-purpose those former tractors?

One like on Space 1999 would be a good idea.

… the fact that nearly 100 people have participated …

We all know that mostly comes from the same part of the mind that makes people look at road accidents as they drive past…
