No not Cyprus - the UK.



Are we really that different. Surely we're one big happy family right? I must admit I don't have many 'northern' friends. However when you meet them on holiday and on business we certainly get on.

I don't really think we are all that different, when in Northern Cyprus, we are just from the UK, doesn't matter where, also on here, most of the time you don't know where people are from but there are certain people you get on with regardless. I don't personally now any Londoners, then a thread starts 'Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner' and you find that some of the people you best get on with in here are from the South. So no I don't think it does matter.

Ah but britvic dont forget no matter where you are from in Britain, when you tell a local that you are English they always say what part of London are you from.

So true Kitty, or they say "do you know so and so from Watford?" I think, they think we all know each other like they do, maybe they think our Island is as tiny as theirs.

my dad use to love mushy peas and he was born in bethnal green!

i think they are digusting.

curry sauce and chips is much better.

I am a true Northerner but i have to agree curry sauce on your chips is a much better option than gravy! Altho back in the day (if im honest we are only talking a few years ago) after a night out i used to order cheesy chips and garlic sauce! Now thats a classy bird for you.
