Southerner me. My Old Man was from East Ham.Back in the middle ages 'er indoors and me lived for a couple of years just north of Glasgow. It rained, summer lasted for a month and you couldn't get a drink on a Sunday.I remember going up in a lift with 2 cleaning ladies who were deep in conversation. I couldn't make out a single word of english for 5 floors.We were really sad when we had to move back south. Oh aye the north's great - just as long as you don't have to actually live there./wp-content/forum-smileys/sf-laugh.gif

When I lived in North Yorkshire my customers in Northumberland considered me a Southerner. My neighbours considered me to be an incomer because I came from the West Riding. I have lived down here for thirty years but still regard Yorkshire as home.

Try to think of it more as a missionary expedition!

I'm a Southerner being born and bred in South Ockendon, Essex, but since the age of 10yrs (I'm now 54) have lived in Northamptonshire, so I guess I'm a Southern core with a midlands crust.

 
Bucks boy for 20 odd years, a little sojourn to Edinburgh for 5 years while Mrs Fuz educated herself and back down to auxfordshire for the last few years /wp-content/forum-smileys/sf-laugh.gif
