      I've been around long enough to know that the north has always been a bit like the forgotten sibling, poor thing. 🏡 You just have to look at Greater Manchester! Some suburbs like Rochdale or Oldham might not be winning any beauty contests anytime soon. 😂 But personally, I’ve never had any beef with folks, north or south.
      Now, northerners can be a bit more, shall we say, feisty? 😅 Although that's not quite the case everywhere. So, where do you plant your flag? North or South? Let's be honest, it's not all sunshine and rainbows down south either. 🌧️ If you’re not educated or don’t have at least a halfway decent job, you might just find yourself in a pickle! 🥒

    even tho i live in york, so yes, a northerner.The whole reason for the divide is imo just during the thatcher era, so ultimately, northern people had no choice to spill there blood for the sake of london thriving during that period.A good sign is that in london thatcher was being buried while in the north they was celebrating her death even in football matches.Tho i dont hate people from south i think there chill depending who your talking to but i absolutely despise the government for how they treat the north becuase i bet people where i live or other northen citys and town would love to live in a place just as big as london with more businesses and more job offers.But sadly i dont think the government cares aslong as u pay your taxes to get them more suits and cars and to basicly feed london for how long this happens

      Northampton is just down the road from Coventry, and it definitely doesn't feel like the south.

    *Manchester* is an average sized city by area, and has only started to get a large population in the last 20 years, because of all the propaganda it gets.
    Summed up - the towns of *Rochdale, Oldham, Wigan, Bolton, Bury* and *Stockport* are all bigger than the city of *Manchester.*

    Ah yes, the endless geometry of a post-industrial wasteland, the memory of lakes, mountains, rivers, and moorland long gone; coastlines and castles eroded or foamed with chemical evils seeping from the few haggard chimneys still coughing out a meagre pittance between abandoned deralict seaside follys.
    Once the Gateway to the North, York, and the Scottish boarder filled with UNESCO archi-drip, globally top-drawer castle-fodder, the highest concentration of national parks and AOONB per size in England (and, to be actual, all or mostly the best ones), gorges to kick off an artistic movement, viaducts spanning dales and valleys.... once....
    Now, alas, all there is, is iron oxide, slag heaps, and inner-city Milwaukeeans asking for directions and having to be repeatedly reassured that this is, indeed, the north of england, and not a few blocks from down town.
