Good point, i agree, 90% man u glory hunters are from London Village. :o

As you can see from my sophisticated multi-variate questionnaire, I'm more of a social scientist.

I think it's a badly planned study, you should try them.

In the away section at Old Trafford my favourite chant, aimed at the home supporters, was "can we give you a lift home?"

Well, you are doing valuable work here finding out the total BE idiot count.

I am a Midlander, from Coventry. Where does that put me? If you say Southern (shandy sipper) I will cry.

You will need to define north and south.
Anything or anybody outside the boundaries of the North/South Circular Road is not to be trusted:thumbsup:

Seriously, to me the North begins at about Stoke/Derby etc and north.

The 'north' isn't just a line on a map...its a lifestyle.

I realize I have yet to run the numbers through the system, but at a cursory glance at the raw data, my hypothesis, induced through discourse analysis of the Jarrow Marches and pictorial data of L.S. Lowry, that most immigrants are from poor northern areas, might need a little tweaking.

On the other hand.

Me North, Mrs South. She says she dramatically lowered her standards when she met me, although until I saw this poll I didn't realise she meant it was because of where I came from......

On current numbers your logic is sound. It's probably down to thatcher.

She's from Grantham which is neither north nor south, that was her trouble, worried in case people thought she was a northerner so she desperately tried to be a posh southerner.

Is she still alive?
