I live in Yorkshire, but am from Lancashire. I emigrated from Lancs in 93. When I got to the customs point at Saddleworth, the Yorkshire border staff put me through immigration. They removed my sense of humour, shortened by arms, sewed my pockets up and put a bolt on my wallet.
I spent the first half of that embedded into Gateshead, where I had very limited success, and had to resort to the ancient noble right of Prima Nocta, although this too has singularly failed, as the resultant offspring is both ginger, and stubbornly northern.
Now entrenched in Yorkshire with a partner brought up on a dairy and beef farm. Again, no luck with language but I can claim that I have discovered a number of very effective ways of stopping her being friendly towards me. Buying more music kit on a regular basis has proven to be extremely successful!

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youI notice there is talk about how quiet Southerners are, and not a mention of Peter Sutcliffe (The Yorkshire Ripper) and Jimmy Saville.
take people as you find them, seems to work. Don't notice a lot of difference between people most places really. London is a bit different cos its so big, busy and full of people who aren't from there. If you get yourself in a local shop or boozer in London, people are just as friendly as anywhere else IME.
Lancashire folk are both the warmest and funniest for me, but I am biased.
The one exception I have come across is in North Wales. The people there seem likely to string an Englishman up rather than pass the time of day. I know that is because they are jealous, but we all have a cross to bear eh?
I'm from Devon originally - around 15 miles from Exeter. In a lot of ways, it's probably culturally closer to the North than it is to London (where I now live).
Grew up in Cumbira and went to Uni in Yorkshire.
I now live in the new forest.
I miss certain parts of the north however don't find it any more or less friendly than where i am now. But that may be me rather than the other people.......
Times have changed greatly, decades ago people didn't travel much, now folks commute for hours and live where they want. The villages unspoilt by incomers are few and far between.
Treat people with a smile and we are all the better for it.
We're just hugely suspicious of northerners
So it seems seems if you’re a northerner who spends too long in the south, you become suspicious of northerners too.
Any way, enough of this - I need to take my whippet for a walk....
My dad spent 16 years in scarborough and has lived in Hampshire/dorset for 54 years. Everyone doen south says he has a Yorkshire accent and everyone up north says he has a southern accent. When my granddad was alive he used to refer to my brother and I as little 'cockneys' because of our southern accents, which sound nothing like cockney.
