I think it speaks volumes the coverage the latest flooding is getting. Sky News have had no other news on now for almost 2 days. The Red Cross have launched an appeal to help them, and the government have responded a hell of a lot quicker than with the floods in Yorkshire..
give to the appeal ??
well as Honest John said to me today
FUCK EM

Perhaps we in the Thames Valley are considered to be more worthy than those in t'north. After all, if it was not for our taxes, there would be no money to pay your benefits.

Do us a favour DPD...................nah, forget it. It'd go straight over your thick southern skull anyway. ::)

OK folks - time for a reality check here.
I think the grump is really about inconsistency. You all know that I am a "Southerner" but it is a falsehood to suggest that all of us below the northern M25 belt see those above as being inferior.
The BBC does indeed seem pre-occupied with a bit of wetness spilling over the Thames into the surrounding areas. Is this because it is such a rare event? Or because they percieve it to be a "better place" than Hull (although that is probably right...)
I have had some of the best times of my life on rugby tours in Buxton and Norwich, plus great times racing motorbikes in various counties nearer Scotland than Sussex. Every place I have been to has its lovely people and also - like Southern counties - gits. Most intelligent people have the same outlook on life, even if their accents are different. Most decent people believe in the same decent standards and common values even if their dialect may appear funny to someone else.
Despite knowing that Growler, Nick and Berek are too close to the Polar Ice Cap for my liking, I still think I'd rather go for a few bevvies with them than 95% of the detritus that take the financial/moral high ground down in the rich part of the country - i.e. the South East.
This fact WILL NOT, however, stop me from taking the piss out ot the benefit scrounging, hub-cap stealing, Whippet-shagging, Pigeon breeding, in-breeds that most of them are.
And I would expect no less in return from them.

Could it be something to do with the fact that the southern flood damage has been as much the result of building on flood plains as the rainfall itself. Something this government is still trying to encourage Banghead

I once heard that professional Yorkshireman Michael Parkinson say "The biggest difference between the North and the South exists in the Northerner's mind"
I come from the Deep South (Daisy Hill Puppy Farm) and the 1st Mrs S came from t'Yorkshire. Our marriage lasted for twenty years but it was a constant clash of cultures.

I come from Northamptonshire and this traditional pub game was very popular when i was young, less so now but can still be found in a few pubs and round here
Hood Skittles
http://www.mastersgames.com/cat/pub/hood-skittles.htm
-
A quality game, i used to regularly frequent the villages between bedfordshire and northants (once dated a northants nymph) and there were skittles a plenty.
Obviously, being a northerner i could throw the cheeses (i think they were called) much harder and straighter than your lot, I could also withstand more than 3 pints of beer, thus am the World Skittles Champion.
I thank you.
