Perthbum Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 We have had quite a few members on here who live in and around London, who have said the weathers not great there either, this great north, south divide is a myth. No it's not...the weather in the north is shitte compared to the south...fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MovingtoTasmania Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 No it's not...the weather in the north is shitte compared to the south...fact. Actually, I talk to friends/family in the South regularly and I'm often hanging my washing out when it's raining down there. Move south then...It is grim up north. Don't be ridiculous, we have hills, coastlines, beautiful countryside. What have you got down South? A few flat fields. You have none of the rugged beauty of the North, the culture, the diversity. In the Georgian/Victorian times, the North was somewhere that the ton came to, to get away from the rigours of town life. Places such as Harrogate and Scarborough were hotspots. Read up on your history! The University of Manchester has a leading Centre of Jewish Studies and the Rylands Professor of Biblical Exegesis is a world-renowned expert on the Dead Sea Scrolls. Liverpool is a cultural centre as is Leeds and as for York, well, history has taught us the importance of York, especially to the Church of England. I can only imagine that your knowledge of the North comes from watching The Full Monty and I think you've watched it too many times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MovingtoTasmania Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 You still have shitte weather. You been drinking the eau de cologne again? Where I live, the weather has been fantastic! I had five minutes of rain today so if that is grim or sh!t, you must be smoking incense sticks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see this turn into a North v South, culture, countryside, diversity argument rather than an Aussie/British one for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simmo Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 The whole of England is a great place but nature (not anyone on here) dictates that we in the south have better (weather, its warmer and drier). This, unlike the rubbish about "quality of life", "better for kids", "fresher fruit n veg" this is undebatable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we don't have smog, we have beautiful countryside on the doorstop of practically every big city or town, we have farms locally that we can buy fresher fruit and veg from, we don't anywhere close to the crime that you have down there (according to Police statistics and crime per person) and I know for a FACT, that in the London Borough of Bromley, there are 4 rats per head of population:eek: I would also add that I bet if you looked at rainfall figures for the south versus say the City of Manchester (as opposed to the Greater Manchester area), I bet there's less rainfall as Manchester sits in the valley of the Pennines and if I remember rightly from Geography at school, rain and snow are more likely to fall over hills and mountains so the valley's tend to be drier.
