I remember as a Southerner growing up the stick a few northern kids went through. The whole Oasis v Blur issue didnt help.



While the economic divide was created by Thatcher many would argue, the actual divide dates further back...



The monkey-hanging by the folk of H'pool plays a large part http://www.thisishartlepool.co.uk/history/thehartlepoolmonkey.asp .



If there indeed is a north/south divide, do Northerners bring it upon themselves? They keep ferrets and whippets, they wear flat caps and they eat pies with mushy peas, or chip butties or gravy with chips talk about Rugby Leage. ee' bah gum If it can't be fried in lard, it ain't worth cooking!
