Oh, i'd like to add, my northen family are nice people, and apart from the pub visits and the hating of the southerners, northeners are much friendlier towards each other, but still funny talkers.
Southerners are rude, abnoxious, arrogent and only care about who's got the best penis extension sitting outside the front of their house.
Good example...
In Middlesburrrgghh, walk to shops, you get people saying hello, feeding their horses in their garden, sunbathing in cloudy weather, always with a can of ale or beer in hand. But generally friendly and happy to talk tuesdays fun "darn a't t pub were our shelia was play'in Bingoo"
Southern, walk to shops, never see anyone (mainly because we're all at work ), but those rare people you do see during the day will look down as if they never saw you, never saying hello. Talking like "darrrn sarrf iz where iz at innit bruv... (or the other end of the scale), "oh ya pater, where can one get some caviar"..
Its why i dislike London so much. You want the worst of southerners, just walk in any business district in london during rush hour, u'll see what I mean.
Also, all the roads down here are covered in cameras, speed, tax, general Big Brother style survailance.. Northerns don't have this so much, and have a lot more free roads to play on.
In fact, apart from the nice hot sunshine we often get, and the higher wages (but higher priced everything else to match), southerner suck...
But so do northeners..
Wheres my emigration card

bollocks mate, lets switch it around, I go to manchester, funny, no one says 'hello' yet in my home county of sussex I get it all the time... depends on the size of the town and population of it. And you cannot include London into this, tell me what percentage of Londoners are born and bred southerners and how many come from, say, all over the world bad example.

Well, i lived in a nice village, but it was the same. Full of toffs and normal fold, still no friendlyness really.
I now live on the outskirts of a town, it is the same. Even worse in town. And i live in a nice family estate. People look shocked if i say morning to them.
I been to all the local counties, its the same...
Now I go up north, and people who've never see me have said good morning (or i think they said that).
Machester is a city, its very unlike people will be welcoming, see my previous comment regarding towns and citys. As i've said, London isn't exactly the most welcoming place.
The majority of Londoners are born and bred. Just because they are not white does not mean they were not born here. Theres just a lot of other mixed races in London as well, people working short term/long term, secondees, people just visiting etc... Don't forget London isn't just the center, big ben, tower bridge and all that. Its 20 miles from one side to the other, thats a lot of square miles and a LOT of people.
And no need to be aresey is there.

And PS
AFTERNOON TEA is the proper wording, and as i've said, its tea, sandwhiches, cakes, scones and all that. NOT dinner. Mid to late afernoon. Its was derived from the rich toff folk. Cucumber sandwhichs...
As said, you don't offer to take a lass out to Tea do you. You ask to take them to dinner.. Same at home, cooked meal is dinner. 
And i called it school lunch, or err lunch time??

wikipedia never fails 
In the United Kingdom, dinner traditionally meant the main repast of the day. Because of differences in custom as to when this repast was taken, dinner might mean the evening repast (typically in the higher social classes) or the midday repast (typically in lower social classes, who may describe their evening repast as tea). There is sometimes snobbery and reverse snobbery about which meaning is used
