    Default North - South divide.

    We often hear talk of the divide between North and South, a classic example of the bias is the reporting of the recent stormy weather on B.B.C. T.V. news,
    on Monday when the storms were about to hit the south it was headline news, yesterday evening when the storms were about to hit the north the report came at the end of the bulletin just before the weather! then on the
    lunchtime news today - the've called off the racing at Cheltenham what a bunch of pussies down there, I've never yet known them call off the whippet racing up here 'cause it's blowing a bit.

    South of watford a strong breeze is a disaster. North of that anything short of Force 9 is normal

    Living on top of a hill near the Pennines I grew up leaning forward, sometimes it's the only way to walk
    Despite the cost of living it still seems popular!
