Just meaning I ain't ever been up north much, everytime I ever went up there people just wanted to beat me up. Must get boring up there if all you ever do is get pissed and have a fight. Saying that though, thats like everywhere OUTSIDE of London innit? If you ever met me Will I daresay we would be firm friends.
I think so too (the last bit). I'm not sticking up for, or putting down, the North. Don't want to be like Sean Connery, a proud Scot who lives in the US. And I really hated those 'Born In The North, Die In The North' t-shirts with the implication of fearful defensiveness and the self-defeating lack of ambition and curiosity that defined an aspect of the working class culture in which I grew up. I think you always need something to compare, you need two objects to establish perspective. Which is why I wonder what other people make of London.
