I’m grumpy about grumpy northerners who hijack threads and then groan about grumpy southerners who are groaning about the grumpy northerners who are hijacking threads.

Also hi.

I'm a Yorkshire who happens to live in Sussex. Am I a northerner or a southerner?

The wrong answer will make me VERY grumpy.

I believe once a Yorkshireman, always a Yorkshireman. Very much a northerner.
 
Nick - it's true us southerners are a grumpy lot. A friend of mine who is also a photographer called me a 'southern jessie' as I always felt cold and of course, I have this as my forum user name :ROFLMAO:
 
Having lived in southern England most of my life except for about 20+years just north of Birmingham near Cannock there is a cultural difference between both areas.
I am not saying one is better than the other, that is entirely wrong. It is as far as I can tell depends on what is the type of work in each area. for example the Black country people relied on each other more as a necessity due to the nature of the work. Down south being more office based type of work, to rely on each other is not so important.
So it is not a case of being grumpy but more of an understanding for each region of the country

I'd just call you unfortunate.
 
I'm a Lancastrian who's lived in various parts of Scotland, Hertfordshire, and various parts of Yorkshire (currently Yorkshire). I've made good friends in all parts. Against my better nature. :(
 
Southerners being grumpy? Well one thing northerners and southerners agree on is getting too old.

My understanding is that a Yorkshireman is a Scot with the generosity removed, I am also led to believe that copper wire was invented by two Yorkshiremen fighting over a penny :D

Never ask anyone if they're from Yorkshire, if they are then they'll soon tell you... if they're not, it's a shame to have insulted them! :giggle: ;)

Yorkshire is way down south. Still at least you've moved to the right side of Yorkshire (the outside :coat:)

And in my case, as you know my middle name which is where the "M" comes from in StephenM, you'll know where I got my generous nature from :p

Everybody can be anywhere. Sometime in the 1970s I was just finishing up a wedding job at a village near Exeter when the next wedding was led in by this bloke. I sold the picture and story to 3 different local papers. :clap:

Having spent 20+ years living in Australia, I definitely qualify as a southerner... also apparently a well-known grump, according to the mods!
