Oh yeah, the Goldfinger version would be good. Ooh and Wuthering Heights by China Drum. And Band On The Run by the Foo Fighters...

Don't crash! I'm actually stealing some of these for my dance party in a few weeks. Librarians love to bump and grind.

... but quietly?

Made it back in record time - from York to Leicester in 1 hour 20 minutes.

[MK Chris]

Took me twice that to get from Milton Keynes to Guildford last week. The M25 is shite.

[Sidders]

This is why North>South.

Or maybe it's cos nobody wants to go to the North...

[DevilsDuck]

North>South.

[dimtimjim]

Middle > North and South put together.

Northern Monkeys and Southern Pansies.

[MK Chris]

As my mate would put it, there's no such thing as 'middle'. There's north and more north.

North of Watford Gap = North.

[Latina]

I always feel identity-confused when the North-South divide comes up. I was born and spent the early part of my youth in the Home Counties due to my Dad's then-job in London, but he's a Cumbrian/Yorkshireman who doesn't care for the South at all.

[Yudster]

I am an inveterate and unapologetic Southerner who has married into a Northern family and has to spend a fair amount of time "up there". It really is a different world, and decidedly not one I think I fit into, although there are some aspects of it I reckon I would love. We have thought on a couple of occasions over the last few years that we might end up relocating to the West Yorkshire area, and it is still a possibility for the future, but although I would be glad to do it if it meant a better life for my family (which, given the circumstances of a potential move, it might in some ways) the idea scares me silly. I think I'd get used to it eventually but I will always be a southerner, can't help it.

[Nicola_Red]

We sell for events all over the country, and we've recently had a spate of circus events in locations down South, and the general consensus here seems to be that all Southerners are rude and brusque on the phone. I know that there are good and bad people in every place, but that's just been our experience.

[Yudster]

No one who answers phones in any office I have any authority in is anything other than pleasant and well mannered. Its not just a priority service standard for our service users' benefit, it makes for a much better environment to work in. Can't be doing with people who are rude on the phone.

[Sidders]

I don't think it's fair to say that all midlanders are Northern, or Southern for that matter. I think it is in it's own category. However, I would much prefer to think of myself as a Northerner as I much prefer the countryside up there and the people of the North are in my experience friendlier. I also spend a lot more time in the North as one of my best mates is an adopted northerner (which is the reason I was in York).

Also, I have been to both, and Leeds festival is much better than Reading festival.

[DevilsDuck]

I'm sorry.....Devon is the most beautiful place in the UK by far!

[foot-loose]

North>South.

Correct.

[DevilsDuck]

Scotland doesn't count as up North *points at Sig*

[Yudster]

I'm sorry.....Devon is the most beautiful place in the UK by far!

Yep.

[dimtimjim]

I'm sorry.....Devon is the most beautiful place in the UK by far!

You've clearly never been to Grimsby.

[Yudster]

I'm sorry.....Devon is the most beautiful place in the UK by far!

Yep.

Actually I ought to change that. Devon is my favourite place in the UK by far. Lots of reasons for that, the beauty is only one of them.

There is so much of the UK I haven't seen. I want to go to the North East which looks amazing. I have been to North Wales which was very beautiful but I didn't take to it, bearing in mind that the economy there is so heavily tourism based, it wasn't the most welcoming of places. Harlech beach though - wow, and the kids loved the castles and the steam trains.

I still haven't been to Scotland, which I have a sneaking suspicion probably does qualify as having the most beautiful parts of the UK in it. I still want to go.

[MK Chris]

Tenby beach was lovely when we went years ago.
