Like all midlanders, they are basically whores who prostitute themselves to either side when it best sees fit.
London stinks anyway. Let's face it both teams crave to move to the North where there is space to build. lol. Nothing like stepping outside my house this morning and seeing the countryside, with no traffic, reasonable house prices and cheap beer. Please continue to enjoy, your stench filled, over populated, immigrant filled, traffic bustling, pavement jostling, crime infested, drug fuelled, exorbitant pint-drinking, piece of fecal matter you call a city.
Yep. I dunno what yanks see in it. One of my lecturers at Uni is an American who has lived up here for years, after orginally moving from London. He hasn't looked back since, and he says he wouldn't move down there if you paid him. The pace is much slower and its more friendly up here than down there anyway. There was a great programme on the North v South debate on the BBC last week. Basically the north rules.
It took at TV programme to tell everyone that? We should keep that info on the down-low. Otherwise we will be swamped by southerners and yankees....
The Midlands is basically sandwiched by the North (masters of England), and the South (noncy queers) Not a comprimising position if you ask me. Hell, we've got the Lake District to the West, Yorkshire to the South, Edinburgh to the North and the North Sea and Scandanavia to the East. So....
But scotland is too far north....in evil country. Thats why built the wall. Q:Where is Hadrians Wall? A:Round Hadrians Garden.
I have met a few yanks up Yorkshire way. Very nice people. Obviously those, who are clever enough to appreciate the better side of this country. Still, as long as tourists continue to flock to London then I don't give a toss. The few that do arrive up here, can get a warm welcome. Down there, you are just another annoying little tourist, who are continuing to ruin the city. But seriously, stay out of my patch you pesky yanks.
Scotland is okay. As soon as you reach the highlands its amazing. Again, its like a microcosm of England. Annoying people in the South, friendly, warm and generous people in the North
The only thing northerners are the masters of is cloth caps and Rugby League. I once had the (dis)pleasure of going up north with it's grimey buildings and grey sky's. Starving muts staggering down the empty horrid streets drinking from drains and begging for food, your dogs aren't much better either.
Still, if you want towns full of depressing and monolithic buildings that wouldn't be out of place in a George Orwell novel, a incomprehensible and downright silly accent, no coast-line, then go to the Midlands. The only remotely good thing about the Midlands is the curry houses. But even that's a push for some of the Indian restraunts we have up here.
For yanks wanting to discover the wide array of accents we have then check out; http://www.bbc.co.uk/voices/ I'm finding it quite interesting. EDIT: Here's mine; http://www.bbc.co.uk/tees/voices2005/
The midlands accent is the voice of the Vikings and Shakespeare I will have you know. BTW your curries are nowhere near our's don't try to kid yourself.
Nah, it was formed by influences from both the North and South. The Midlands basically stole the best from both, because it hadn't any originality and had to steal to make it seem good. It became more used throughout England as Standard English, because it reflected the melting pot of all the areas around it. Don't kid yourself. Also, Northern Curry is the best.
I missed this point when it was originally made but christ... and I've travelled around Spain so the point is doubly embarassing. And from a tory gooner... Oh the shame...
It's also full of whinging northerners boasting that the city is incomparable to the majesty of their own stinking cesspits. Oh to live in Livercesspool or Rankchester, or to walk down the vomit strewn brawling lanes of Poocastle.
...they all eat out of their rubbish bins in their northern slums. But back to the scum, they play in a rather putrid kit which looks like it should be thrown in a sanitary bin.
