Stolen Golf MK6

[RandomJord]

My (northern) mate lived in Basingstoke for three years, for example, in a semi-detached and his neighbour never once even said hello.

Probably Horney or A7 UFO, unsociable cnuts!

see i was the other way around, in the north we were treated like outsiders because we are southern, lived in quite a nice area, an look different (tattoos an the like), i liked the friendly people in the shops (didnt like that i had to drive to sheffield to get to the good shops!) I also like the roads in the countryside! But i never felt welcome in any pub or in the neighbourhood. So, back here but retained interests in ze north! (i have to, the inlaws live there!!)

Randomjord i live somewhere in the middle and everyone is different, i dont find being called a clown offensive but i do find people slagging off where i live very offensive and personal.

[RandomJord]

Youre a middler? than ive not even offended you yet! ........thats my midlands file

^^^^ sort of,  most southerners class anyone above them as northerners besides there is nothing on the tv that interests me and im board 

[RandomJord]

Well I'm off out to the little chef, keep me informed of any further north south developments, I'll check in later!

I'm sorry where we're all these Mk6's stolen from? Was it dear old Newbury? Windsor? Adams beloved Yeovil? No! Was the sh!tty north!

And you couldn't live down here, our houses cost money, not Buttons.

That was the norths redeeming feature for the hellish 6 months I spent there.

Lol, Newbury FTW, I'll keep an eye out for you when I'm out and about.

No sh!t you from Newbs?

I am from Sunny Newbury yeah 

With regards to Norf / Sarf debate.  I couldn't care less where anyone lives, what they do for a living, how much they earn this forum is full of people from all different places and we get on (normaly) very well, talking sh1t about cars.

That's interesting but not massively surprising. I think Northerners are generally very friendly to all people but the ones they're most likely to be suspicious of are southerners. Having said that, amongst all my friends, the ones who get the most ribbing are Lancastrians for obvious reasons. All good natured banter of course

West Berkshire

Semi-detached   £272,407
Terrace   £210,788

210,000 for a Terrace and 272 for semi, You guys must be clowns paying that to live there.

Where you live is where you live innit, tried the north an yeah, by comparison my house in Yorkshire compare to here was a bloody palace! Felt like a lottery winner looking at houses up there.

Depressing when we came back an instead of looking at beautiful farmhouses with garages, it's 3 bed semis! But the main reasons for being here are business led, the driving an trains
Where a hassle when most of my business is southern based.

Sometimes just can't justify all the hassle for the same of a bigger house!
