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.
I'm from North Yorkshire and when I go to my nan's in London my dad will be like "wear a coat" and my Nan would turn to him and say "she's a northerner she'll be fine"
Northerners are much more friendly, just as someone who's lived in the Midlands then moved north to study. when I come back home and try striking up a chat with someone at the bus stop or a shop might as well have pulled out a knife
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
I'm from the midlands and we have a serious identity crisis. We aren't southerners, we aren't northerners and midlanders just don't seem to have a well known existence. And the most I know relate to northeners more than southerners
How is he / she not included it is still to the south and it is a 2 min walk from my house to get ther most likely not there house but from Scotland I am so there still to the north
Lol, aye, but you have lowlands. Well the vikings gave ye a bit of that, with the whole Massive Northumbria thingy. Middlesbrough, btw, Sunderland and Newcastle won't accept us as North-East.
I saw dinner and tea - I'm from the south. But when talking to Americans I usually say dinner, because they think I'm going to drink tea when I say tea.
i'm from nottingham as well, my accent is so ambiguous everyone asks if i'm northern or southern, completely forgetting about the midlands. says it all really lmao
shut up northeners are the most rudest people to southerners i know cos i southern and my family are northern and when i drink in the pud as soon as you open your mouth you frowned upon
Ofunne Mordi agreed, every time I've been down south they're usually so rude and arrogant. Can't be dealing with that, up here we smile at each other and can have a good natter😆
@@taylordean7053 Loved it up there , i went to Pontrefract , people were so lovely , we plan on going for a little break up there as soon as possible maybe north yorks loved it there as well Whitby .
I was laughing with a mate of mine and turned to someone who was on the train with us up from London after a trip and smiled apologetically and just said “sorry about being so loud, we’re not normally like this” this woman looked at me as if I’d just eaten the chihuahua she had on her lap!
As a Londoner, I’m kind of jealous of Northerners because of their friendly nature.. here in London no one really gives a shit about others and interactions with strangers are often limited to grumbles of “sorry” or “thanks”. I guess that comes with living in a big city?! :/
I'm born and raised in Manchester to Southern parents, northerners think I'm southern and southerners think I'm northern, I feel like the midlands personified sometimes 😅
So I've never been lucky enough to visit the UK, but I was hearing a lot of similarities between this and Pacific northwest culture! We are laid back, friendly, happy in cooler weather, and of course proud of our home. (Not super proud of Amercia, ever, but that's a different matter). I loved this :)
I loved hearing my home accent in there. At least two Hull accents among them. Definitely the people thinking your'e weird if you're friendly. I only moved slightly south of the Midlands and talked to someone at the bus stop. Got such a weird look!
I went to London once and I was talking to my family on the tube and everyone looked at me like I was crazy...they were all just sat there in silence it was creepy 😂
I’m from the north and when I used to go to my grans house in bournemouth my mum be like ‘ where a coat!’ Followed by by gran and dad saying ‘ she’s northern she’ll be fine!’
I was born in Portsmouth but I've moved a lot and I prefer the North. At one point I was living in Nottingham and it's amazing how many people considered themselves Northerners.
maisie moo have you seen American southerners, many left wing (you would be surprised the lies you will live), similar accents surprisingly, but it can get real hot.
Life Can Be Like Pizza I have been the in southern states . I felt as uncomfortable as hell , and I am from the North of England. Your trailer trash make our chavs seem reasonable .
Pat Terson I am afraid I have experienced different. Seeing a street preacher calling for all true Christains to kill all none Christians and no one seemed inclined to think there was anything wrong with it. 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
Ive just moved to southampton for uni from Derbyshire aka the east midlands and have accepted that i am branded northern i have explained the differenece so many times but i still get told i have a proper strong northern accent even though i definetly dont - theres no winning
I feel you, I moved to a country where all ex pats are either Londoners or Mancs. Although it's about the same as coming from Long Eaton and being told you don't belong in Nottingham or Derby.
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!
philinator71 no its not kind of the same. The English are English, the Scottish are Scottish and the Welsh are Welsh. 3 different countries with different people. Also this video is a English north south divide. The Scottish have there own between the highlands and lowlands.
Ugh the Midlands debate! Yes we want to be Midlanders (as that's what we are!) but so annoying when both the northerners and southerners insist that we're not the same as them so must be the other! No we're not northern, no we're not southern! #SecondCityStatus #MidlandsMate
I've used giveaway words like mither and ginnel. I'd never lose my twang. I use it to full comic effect if there's a whiff of one-upmanship and turn it around.
No it's not it's full of plebs and chavs who refuse to work, smoke weed, drink their body weight in beer and watch Jeremy Kyle reruns all day, just like everybody else up north.
I’m a midlander who would prefer to be referred to as a northerner, I’ve been told by someone at school that i sound like I’m from Sheffield, I think that theres one big arrow pointing right up. Personally, I think that the north starts at either skegness or kings lynn
I'm from Lancashire and I once did a week's work experience in London. My first day I wanted to make a good impression and I offered to make people a brew not thinking that brew in London means pint. I got a lot of stares in the office when I said that haha.
george R.R..Martin, loved the "northern accent" so much, he used it in his famous books, epecially the character of jon snow from up north, aka yorkshire...
Both my parents are northerners, and even though I am from London, I have northern tendencies in the way I say things, which used to lead to me being teased for it
When someone who lives in Leeds makes fun of someone from Leicester saying they’re from Northern England, and you’re sitting here an hour North of Leeds, and still in England..
Having stayed in Leeds for half a year for academics (coming from the Netherlands) I heard a lot of these debates between my fellow classmates who where from all over the place (Leeds, London, Lincoln, and all the way from the Scottish border)
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.
I'm from Manchester and whenever I go down to Reading or the South Coast to see relatives, I always say to them: "can I get past please? Oh sorry, PAST (exaggerating the A). Its quite funny.
This is hilarious....I currently live in the North (Carlisle to be exact)...for someone who is from the south (Essex/East London)...the first few months was a struggle, I taught I was n a different country.....It doesn't help I'm like half an hour away from Scotland😂
I moved to Scotland and on my first few weeks of school I said “alright?” To this lad in the mornings and he spread a rumour around the school saying I fancied him and he is known for being a bully
Midlanders are the best. We don't have ridiculously high prices and we can get to places in less time. Our accents aren't very posh or... northern. We're the glue that holds England together!!
I have a Yorkshire accent and I'm at school in Essex; and people have actually asked me if I'm Irish. I'm not sure if this is a reflection on the people of Essex, or if- wait no they are just a bIT DAFT :)))))) (loveable though)
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.
I'm from Nottingham and no one ever believes me when I say I am! At uni there is people from all over the shop. And Loads say I sound Northern or they can't tell what my accent is. Think I'm some sort of hybrid hahaha! I don't even know how because I've lived here my whole life. I like when I've been up North and everyone is so nice and friendly! So fab! Everyone here is grumpy as. Can't be doing with it!

lyadmilo if your bath had flooded her flat you'd know about it long before bin day.
lyadmilo As a native Londoner, I am thoroughly horrified at your experience. 😲 I wouldn't know where to put myself.
Did you live in Fulford when you did your masters? Tang Hall residents aren't as friendly as Fulfordians.
William Iron well might it be alright if ya keep dat to ya self
William Iron YASS

Yeah I went to London from North Yorkshire a couple of months ago I thought I would die of heat stroke
Random Chaos urgh last year I went down to London during the heatwave and I was _dead_
We are use to the cold and wet

Northerners are much more friendly, just as someone who's lived in the Midlands then moved north to study. when I come back home and try striking up a chat with someone at the bus stop or a shop might as well have pulled out a knife
Southners have more hospitality. and we make sure you don't leave until your full. (:

@@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
Rural areas in the Midlands are more like the North.
As a midlander, it's a hard life. Half the time I get told to pick a side and the rest of the time I'm told I don't belong anywhere haha 😂 😂
Victoria Gardiner Ye I'm from Nottingham and I never know what to say
We in the North are glad the Midlands exist. You are the human shield that separates us from the south.
I'm from Stoke on Trent (the West Midlands) and I always get "do you live more northern or southern?" like T H E M I D D L E
Victoria Gardiner We're are glue that holds England together. Without us the north and the south would be two lonely islands. 😂😊
dave bennett Best comment ever. You're very welcome. 😂😊
lol I'm from America and watching this makes me realize that even across the ocean humans have the same conversations and issues. It's comforting.
duh
Stephanie Colangelo Our humour is very different though so don't get to offended.
europeans had these problems before americans lol. We're older.
Stephanie Colangelo and? Dumb idiot.
Except in America, the northerners are the rude ones. Southerners in America will literally give you there bed if you need it
‘Crumpet at 9:00 is supper’ yep that’s exactly the same here
Just remembered I have crumpets that are about to go off. 9 crumpets for dinner it is.

Do you mind me asking where in the midlands?
In between north and south, duh!
never related more
Create your own maybe
Poor Midlanders, no one wants them...
bert1029 as a friend of mine from Warwickshire puts it, too posh for the north and too brummie for the south.
From Notts as well, my sister sounds more southern whereas I will talk Northern casually 😂
bert1029 Ye ikr I'm from Notts and say bath and grass without the r
I'm from between Derby and Nottingham. Southerners always call me a northerner and northerners always call me a southerner :(
Angélique . B r
Sorry but you're all Southerners to me, Love from Scotland xx
You’re not included, fuck off
How is he / she not included it is still to the south and it is a 2 min walk from my house to get ther most likely not there house but from Scotland I am so there still to the north
How dare you
Lol, aye, but you have lowlands. Well the vikings gave ye a bit of that, with the whole Massive Northumbria thingy. Middlesbrough, btw, Sunderland and Newcastle won't accept us as North-East.
You know what that's the truest fuckin sentence ever
Midlanders don't give a shit about north or South we're just from the midlands
flashmanfred Both sides are just having a war and us midlanders are daydreaming in la la land. Carelessly living a happy life. 😂
I'm kind of a midlander - my Dad's Northern (Newcastle) and my Mum's southern (Westcountry) (but I'm southern born and raised lol)
THANK YOU.
Northerners and southerners fighting and murdering each other. Meanwhile in the midlands.... peace lol
Like, Middle Earth?
I saw dinner and tea - I'm from the south. But when talking to Americans I usually say dinner, because they think I'm going to drink tea when I say tea.
Its crazy that there is such a distinction of accents and culture on one tiny little island. Love it!

GidzBox Box As a person who's lived in the south for 13 years, I can tell you that southerners are absolutely rude.
Ofunne Mordi agreed, every time I've been down south they're usually so rude and arrogant. Can't be dealing with that, up here we smile at each other and can have a good natter😆
Southerns aren't rude, they're just not friendly.
GidzBox Box Nothing beats the sarcastic humour of England in general 😂🤚🏻
all these northerners are nicer that every londonder I'll ever know.
And I'm from London.
Honestly though, when i visited London i banged into someone on the tube. When i said sorry and they gave me the weirdest look :')
Me too.

Well, technically they are the same country.
Yes, but they are all British citizens so, still kinda the same.
philinator71 no its not kind of the same. The English are English, the Scottish are Scottish and the Welsh are Welsh. 3 different countries with different people. Also this video is a English north south divide. The Scottish have there own between the highlands and lowlands.
I know they are all different and are their own countries, but the UK is it also it's own country encompassing other countries as well.

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.
Na we ain’t, Cornwall got its own unique culture going on
I'm from Manchester and whenever I go down to Reading or the South Coast to see relatives, I always say to them: "can I get past please? Oh sorry, PAST (exaggerating the A). Its quite funny.
Wow, I'm sure you make lots of friends.
@@KnightoftheLord1 I've got more than I probably should have for an introvert
@@anonymousinternetaddict Good answer lol.
I'm from Devon and I always say tea (but we have Breakfast, Lunch (at 11) Dinner (at 1:30) and Tea and teatime!
This is hilarious....I currently live in the North (Carlisle to be exact)...for someone who is from the south (Essex/East London)...the first few months was a struggle, I taught I was n a different country.....It doesn't help I'm like half an hour away from Scotland😂
I feel this, my mums from London and my dads cumbrian, my accent can get really confusing at times
No Brummie thinks they're from the North. I moved there a year ago and they stress the MIDland bit just as much
It’s breakfast, lunch/dinner, tea, supper
I’m from Darlington NOT IN CALIFORNIA, near Liverpool🙃
Would Manchester be classed as northern?
Yes
Saladified アメリア no and yes because it's disputed
Yeah seen as it's in the north. I live near Manchester
yeah its in the North West
Yeh but its like the southern part of the north you know
"You how in America the English accent is an aphrodisiac, I feel like down here the northern accent is not"
My art teacher is from Leeds and we sound well posh compared to them 😂
I moved to Scotland and on my first few weeks of school I said “alright?” To this lad in the mornings and he spread a rumour around the school saying I fancied him and he is known for being a bully
Midlanders are the best. We don't have ridiculously high prices and we can get to places in less time. Our accents aren't very posh or... northern. We're the glue that holds England together!!
no one likes u except midlanders themselves
Miners moved to midlands from the north, maybe that’s the reason why a lot of Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire people feel more northern then south.
I'm pretty northern. (I'm from blackpool) yet people make fun of my accent as it's "too northern" like wtf
Peggy Schuyler have you been to the pleasure beach before?
Peggy Schuyler yeah it broke down when I was on it, it happens all the time
1:21 oh my is that what supper means in North?? Wow, I never knew!
Scotland is the true north
They're talking about England
And only England matters.
chap0syoutuification I wouldn't say that, but they're specifically talking about England.
+chap0syoutuification England is my city!
Fudge Man No because this is about England, Scotland is the North of Britain
Southerner here! Proud Londoner, but my mum’s a Northerner and my dad was born in London but raised in the Midlands.
I have a Yorkshire accent and I'm at school in Essex; and people have actually asked me if I'm Irish. I'm not sure if this is a reflection on the people of Essex, or if- wait no they are just a bIT DAFT :)))))) (loveable though)
L B Yep, had that too!
Omg the same thing happens to me in secondary school yet I was still in Yorkshire
Essex people are daft.
From - Someone from Essex
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.
Who else thought of Phil Lester?
brummies calling themselves northerners is like a dog saying its a cat. its like "whoa, it can actually talk.
This is so funny because I'm from yorkshire! 😂👍🏽
I'm Scottish and I call the after 5pm meal tea, dinner is at 1pm, supper is toast before bed at 11pm
Girl101 Nar it's Breakfast, Dinner, Tea.
Phil Lester WHERE YOU AT?!
North midlands is northern (stoke on Trent ) and southern midlands is southern ( Birmingham)
Plus in stoke everyone's chatty
im from leicester but i go to uni in brighton so everyone makes fun of my "northern" accent
thebisexualcatholic is it better to go DMU or Coventry Uni because of the nightlife
Midlands is a thing but no one accepts that you don't have be northern or southern. Londoners call me a northerner and Northerners call me southern.
I’m from Birmingham and I can confirm that no one from Birmingham considers themselves Northern or Southern. MIDLANDS.
I was born in London but go to school and live in Cheshire, and I get these things but the other way around.
I'm from Nottingham and no one ever believes me when I say I am!
At uni there is people from all over the shop.
And
Loads say I sound Northern or they can't tell what my accent is.
Think I'm some sort of hybrid hahaha!
I don't even know how because I've lived here my whole life.
I like when I've been up North and everyone is so nice and friendly!
So fab!
Everyone here is grumpy as.
Can't be doing with it!
my aunt moved to Cumbria 20 years ago and now speaks so oddly and switches it up.
I grew up in Newcastle with a southern dad then moved down south in my 20s. My accent is fucked.
