skippy Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 In my opinion, the reason there are more northeners in Oz, is because Australia was looking for workers, or pit ponies has someone suggested, we were offered tickets to the land of flies and pies for the cost of a packet of fags these days, 10 quid, so we jumped at the chance. My clogs have come in very handy at times, as they are very good at breaking open the big crabs, the steel workers and miners from the north of England have been very instrumental in putting Australia on the map over the last 50 years or more, and tend not to whinge as much about anything, as the southerners do. This is only my opinion from working with various British immigrants in Oz over the last 40 years. :biglaugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest brooksey Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Probably more northerners emigrate to Oz because there are no English left in the south to emigrate. They left for Spain and france years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pablo Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I think I have sussed out why there are so many more Northern folk in Oz than Southern folk…..It is all to do with your weather, when the Weather comes on it says most of the time….it will be a “North South divide” when refereeing to the weather for the day or the week…Northern territory of England does not get the same weather as the Southern territory of England.So because the Northern parts of England are influenced from the Scandinavian Countries whereas the Southern territory is influenced from the air streams of France and Northern Spain it doe s not take a genius to work out that the Soutern England is warmer and much sunnier than the Northern territory…..and that my friends is the reason there are more North people in Australia than South people. That is my theory and I am sticking to it.:cool: You KNOW theres more northerners in oz then?:wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest17301 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 It was grim where I came from (up North)...I shudder to think of returning...I would love to see my mates though, that would be good. It's the people not the place. I daresay I love Perth all the more for coming from a deprived area in the UK. I can admit it...doesn't make it a bad thing though and doesn't detract from Perth's beauty. Most of the born and bred Perthites I know would never leave and are so proud of where they live. What a shame I can't feel the same about my hometown. The North of England does have some lovely spots though, what about Harrogate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
