[miserableoldgit]

I remember Plymouth fans chanting "You Dirty Northern Bastards" at SMS 3 or 4 years ago.

Well, I hate being called a Northerner living in Coventry. It's not the North FFS.

[FloridaMarlin]

They're probably confusing you with all the Londoners who have second homes down there. After all, London is north of Southampton.

 

Besides, the Cornish are always jumping up and down about independence, so why not cut them adrift?

[Jonnyboy]

Pretty sure we've sung it at Londoners?

[dubai_phil]

It is, compared to here. FFS indeed.

 

Before the Leicester game at SMS, we were drinking in the Standing Orders, bumped into a lad from Coventry who revelled in the name of Micky Lambert Said he was loving all the attention at the games hahahaaa. He looked a bit like an ex squaddie if you know what I mean, told us he had come to Southampton 20 years ago for a visit, met a Southampton girl, married her and been here ever since. He was grateful for an excuse not to follow Coventry any more, cant say I blame him....

[Sheaf Saint]

I remember going to an away game at Bristol City many years ago and cringing when a few of our lot started singing 'Southerners, southerners, southerners'.

On that logic I should start supporting France.

When I was living in Stoke I considered that to be "north".

I must have been here too long. :s For me, North is Yorkshire upwards.... now THOSE are northern monekys! I should know, I nearly married one.

Ah, I went farther south than that and married an Italian. She's from Naples, and they cant stand the northerners from Milan/Turin etc.....its the same the world over

Ah, a 'terroni.'

 

Yes, it is the same all over. (All credit to the book, "A Season with Verona" for that one.)

Oooh-errr better rename myself Northern JBS as I reside just outside Basingstoke, or does being born in Southampton give me absolution?

Basingstoke is definately north. Depends what percentage of your life you've been there I guess.

[norwaysaint]

Nah, the only northerner on here is that bloke who lives in Tromsø. That's north, the rest of you are all southerners.

Depends which part of the southampton area you come from. Romsey? - definately a Northerner, Basset ? - pushing your luck but probably OK

[View From The Top]

Midlands start at A34/M3 and the North starts at the M4.

 

Anything north of M6 J15 is "The Grim North".

Think you may be correct.

Emmets is Cornish for ants, 'cos the tourists swarm all over like ants!

 

Grockles is used in the other parts of the West Country and here in deepest, darkest Daaarset!!

Although born up the General, I do have a bit of a complex that I might find 3 sixes one day as they knocked down the Maternity hospital where the grand event took place and made it a car park!

Certainly long enough to be considered an Expat................ Still Ampshoire mind!

Yes it is - anyhting past the Watford Gap is north. I used to live there (Canley) in 1998/1999 and it was like living in a grim northern town with dwindling industries loads of filthy locals and funny accents. ......unless the place has changed of course.
