One meeting with the local residents of The Forest of Dean and most northerners would be winging their way back to civilisation pronto.

Bit inbred I've heard! Apparently, they make Castleford residents look cosmopolitan in the breeding stakes.

Me too.

Doubt most of them could become warm if you set fire to them.

Depends how far south west you go. Cornwall don't count, that's an entirely other place. We're pretty friendly down here in Winky but most of us are "blow-ins". In the pub one night, out of around 30 regulars in there, only two were born in Somerset, and none at all in Wincanton

Easy tiger, as a born & bred Londoner living in Cornwall I feel rather alone on this thread now while it may be true that Cornwall has more than it's fair share of goat bothering eyebrow knitting moon faced inhabitants, we lead the way in yiffing down these here parts....................and you bothersome northerners will still come trawing down in your 1000's on your Sun holidays so that you can look at a different set of rugged rocks from those you have at home.

1. Kick out all the Northern monkeys from London and the South.
2. Move Hadrian's wall a lot further south.
3. Make new Hadrian's wall higher.
4. Londoners won't have to hear how good it is up north again from people no longer living there.
5. Londoners won't have to hear "ye got anee change please meet (or however they talk)"

I can't ever imagine you taking advice from an evil Tory minister. Surely not your sole motivation for moving? Perhaps you are now partaking in David Cameron's Big Society?

I'm not surprised the southerners don't want northerners given their bigoted views towards their fellow countrymen here.

What is society like in the north, I presume there is low crime, low unemployment, people respect their elders, anti social behaviour got eliminated by the last northern Prime Minister Tony Blair?

Thats pretty much it, we also doff our caps to the local policemen who patrol the streets with hands clasped behind their backs cuffing any urchin who looks at them a bit funny, coalmen whistle jaunty tunes and we get our bread delivered by a boy on a bike who calls us "Sir" or "Madam", sometimes randomly but we are teaching him to tell the difference by means of a kick up the jacksie when he gets it wrong.

And the Corona pop man still calls.
