    I did my Masters in York and the first time I went to take my bins out, my neighbour was also taking out her bins. And she... chatted to me. Like a full conversation. I was so shocked. When she first went passed "Alright?" I was scared I had done something wrong, and she was trying to find a way to tell me my bath had flooded her flat or something. But no, just honest friendliness. Now I am back down south and I sort of miss it. The tube feels so impersonal.

      Did you live in Fulford when you did your masters? Tang Hall residents aren't as friendly as Fulfordians.

      I’ve been down south quite a bit. Usually up north you might say mornin or hello to people passing by on a walk, but in the south they just stare no smile. If you say oh sorry up north they’ll says it’s alright down south they stare you down lol 😂. You smile at someone down the street and you get a death stare back 😬 down south. Just my observation

      @@Lily-mx2tk in London perhaps, but in Bath at least, people say hello to strangers, especially towards the outskirts of the city, there are too many people to say hello to in the city centre, I think it's more a urban vs rural divide than North vs South

      And there were more examples to numerous to mention
      If that happened in my town then the police would have been called and removed him

    In 1987, I was touring the UK. My friends (mates) and I went to Glasgow, Edinburgh, London, then Portsmouth. The Scots were VERY friendly. They warned us about the Londoners. As an American Sailor, I think we got a pass when we asked them about the City and where to go. A barkeep was cold to us about me using a 2-pound piece for a pint as he thought it was 20 Shillings (or something...) I apologized about it and then he realized his mistake. He lightened up and his wife made us some curry and rice. I think it was to get us to drink more beer! Not a problem for three US Sailors...
    I think our American accents let us off the hook about talking to the locals on the Tube and around town.
    Toured the Tower of London and the Tower Bridge. I DID show my American as I asked a pub patron if he was "in line" to get a beer. I realized my mistake and then asked him if he was, "in the queue." No comment, but a tough stare. I was cool.
    I want to go back to see F1 at Silverstone, a match at the Reds, and eat Fish & Chips in Leicester Square!
    Cheers!

    I live in Cornwall, but I spent the first three years of my life living in Wigan. Obviously, I'd started talking by the point my family moved down to Cornwall so I do say things like 'bath' and 'nooo'. I've recently moved up to Oxford for university and it confuses the hell out of people because I'm a girl from Cornwall with a mix between Cornish slang, some Northern pronunciations and some Southern pronunciations.However I have to say that Cornwall and the North are very similar!! I was once 5p short on the bus in Cornwall and went to the entire bus "has anyone got five p I can borrow??" and several people went "yep!". Had to do a similar thing on an Oxford bus and the entire bus looked at me like "you freak". Also, everyone takes the piss out of Cornish accents as well. We are honestly a Northern county stuck in the South.

    As a person from America, it’s very interesting the similarities Northerns from North America and Northerners from the UK have. I’m from New Jersey. I moved around a lot as a kid but I consider Jersey my home because I’ve spent the most time there. I’ve lived in both Louisiana and North Carolina. I’ve experienced all of these things (minus the dinner/supper debate.) People expect you to be rude, arrogant, loud, crazy, etc. When in reality, those are how the people from the South act. We aren’t rude, we are just honest. Southerners have a “hush hush” mentality. They don’t speak their minds. A lot of Southerners in America have a very fake personality and will pretend to like you but talk shit about you behind your back. Up North (with exceptions of course) if we don’t like you, we don’t associate with you. The South is also very boring compared to the North. People call us “the garbage state” but we have a lot of sights to offer locals and tourists. We have something for everyone. We have cities, suburbs, farm towns, beaches, mountains, even swamps. We continue to get a bad rap mainly from the show “Jersey Shore” (which is funny considering half of the cast isn’t from Jersey, but New York.) I currently live in Scotland and I love it mainly because Scots have a very similar mentality to people from Jersey. Honest, stubborn, quick-witted, but the most compassionate and loyal people you will ever meet. Very interesting to see how we have many similarities in America.
