3:01

series first of all starting with what

3:03

Southerners think of Northerners and

3:05

then secondly what Northerners think of

3:08

Southerners which you'll eventually be

3:10

able to see with the link up here so

3:12

let's get to it this is what Southerners

3:15

think of Northerners here we go and we

3:18

you born in the north as well no I was

3:20

born in Brighton okay so you are a

3:21

southerner essentially but probably with

3:24

some Northern traits I imagine he's try

3:27

not to admit to is it grass or grass

3:32

grass yeah grass grass like a bath it's

3:36

not a bath it's a I'm going for a bath

3:38

and you're going are you a southerner

3:41

very much so I was born in Brighton my

3:43

dad was born in Brighton both my

3:45

grandads came from Central London but uh

3:47

my my father was born in Brighton I was

3:49

born in Brighton so I'm a native ronian

3:52

brightonian Native wow you're a

3:55

unicorn so you're for the camera you're

3:59

actually Northern I living down south in

4:01

bright yes yes I've lived in Brighton

4:02

for about 40 years now what are your

4:06

sort of General thoughts of Northern

4:09

people do you have any northern northern

4:12

friends I do I have lived up north as

4:14

well have you interesting so what are

4:16

your thoughts on Northerners then

4:18

Northerners are I would say generally

4:21

more friendly and open and easier

4:24

to communicate with I used to work for

4:26

the railway so I used to work with uh

4:29

depos from the north oh really and

4:32

generally me it hand on heart they're

4:34

very friendly and very warm like in

4:37

comparison to Southerners or yeah I

4:39

would say so never lived in the north um

4:42

but um get a general impression that

4:44

they don't suffer Falls gladly you know

4:47

ni yeah it's a got forthright suppose as

4:50

4:52

to like an norer they're very out front

6:00

I think they don't beat about the bush

6:03

they kind of say it how it is what's

6:05

your kind of opinion on Northerners then

6:07

your family they have very good

6:10

food yeah wow not heard that one it's

6:13

normally our WT and our charm our not

6:16

our food not they complain a

6:18

lot like my mom complains a lot I'd say

6:21

do you have a northern accent for our

6:22

people watching well that depends on

6:24

opinion uh most people say oh you've to

6:26

either you've totally lost your accent

6:29

or oh yes I can definitely tell you from

6:30

the north I love a Jordy accent and I

6:33

think most you shouldn't uh judge people

6:37

necessary but I find that Jordy people

6:39

people from Newcastle yeah are very

6:41

quite warm they're quite Bluff and blunt

6:45

they don't mince their words if they if

6:47

you're upset them they tell You' upset

6:49

them there's no kind of nice it is we

6:51

don't have this Southern business of not

6:53

trying to annoy anybody why I man they

6:56

go why man the kind of cliche is that

6:58

old Northerners are plain speaking and

7:00

always say hello and things like this

7:02

and more friendly yeah I'm not convinced

7:05

that's really true okay uh it can be

7:08

I've been in places in the north where

7:09

it's certainly like that it's certainly

7:11

not like that in the South really if you

7:13

go for a walk on the Downs people don't

7:15

say hello to you and things all that

7:16

whereas they you know when I've been

7:18

walking in the penines people have open

7:22

and sometimes Larger than Life right

7:25

yeah

7:25

[Music]

7:26

um yeah not not afraid of voicing their

7:30

opinions yeah they can be a bit cheeky

7:33

The Cheeky sort of chappy think of a lot

7:35

of scousers that I've met in my life and

7:38

worked with yeah well we're the soft

7:40

South aren't we and we don't have any in

7:42

I I just teach at University of Sussex

7:44

at one time and I teach industrial

7:46

history and you go to a conference say I

7:48

teach industrial history where' you live

7:49

Brighton how do you make a thicker Rock

7:51

You Know assume we've got no Industries

7:53

you know uh down here whatsoever you

7:56

know I point out we used to build steam

7:58

engines in right you know and big

8:01

electrical engineering works and iron

8:03

foundaries and people in the north are

8:05

astonished you know that that we're not

8:07

just defeat Southerners and you said you

8:10

lived there for a bit where where abouts

8:11

did you live up I've lived in Leeds and

8:13

I've lived in Manchester okay I found

8:15

leads easier to fit in and like

8:19

enjoyable I found Manchester quite

8:22

different and rainy and cold and

8:25

miserable that is a stereotype a little

8:27

bit yeah there is some beautiful parts

8:29

of Yorkshire the Yorkshire Dales and and

8:31

and the borders where you go up

8:34

bordering Cumbria and stuff more

8:36

impressive than like Southern perhaps

8:39

yeah it's a spectacular speaking as a

8:41

professional geographer spectacular

8:44

landscape you know different obviously

8:45

to the southbounds or cha Harbor or

8:48

dungeoness but very very obviously

8:51

dramatic mountains and hard rock would

8:54

you ever consider uh living back up

8:57

north back to the Homeland

9:02

no but the weather is generally warmer

9:05

here it is how's the weather up

9:08

north well I do hear people say they

9:11

don't get as much nice weather the St

9:15

that that would be a stereotype yeah uh

9:17

and would you ever consider going back

9:19

to live up north no because it's too

9:21

cold and wet and

9:24

miserable every time I come up north

9:27

it's always raining really especially in

9:29

that

9:30

summer it's just quite Moody up there

9:33

isn't it actually I prefer the climate

9:35

there it's become a bit too hot for me

9:37

down here really really yes wow

9:39
