      monkeys - North

    • no. the difference is the south has london which soaks up all the cashtrooperbill
    • In terms of country side, north is more rugged and rough and so feels untamed and more natural.shapesalad
    • South, especially near London, has the most miserable house style I’ve seen. Characterless little boxes. North has old mining villages and market towns.shapesalad
    • South has more diversity, more wealth, more class, more education. North is far more friendly and fat.shapesalad
    • the main difference is up north they like a creamy head on their beer. down south the head is more natural and fades away quite quickly.hans_glib
    • the south is more populated so it's harder to escape the madding crowd. less people and more open space oop northhans_glib
    • South is more affluent and less industrial, over crowded, green space is agricultural too. The north is friendlier but obviously has a grudge about southerners.Hayzilla
    • "South, especially near London, has the most miserable house style I’ve seen. Characterless little boxes." this is the exact impression I got of the UK. spot oncherub
