In 2004, producers were Aled & Rachel, who was BA?

[Fathomer]

Aled was BA, Rachel was Show Producer, Rhys was Day Producer. Then Will moved to Day Producer in the first couple of months.

[wireman2004]

I thought Rhys was chris' exec in the afternoon to tame chris in the afternoons. According to chris when Rhys rejoined the show as exec

[Tico987]

I remember when Aled moved to Day Producer and Chris kept referring to him as "Gay Producer"...

Used to love it when Chris mocked Rachels' Brummie accent.

Birmingham and Kidderminster are completely different places.

[Tico987]

Sorry, excuse my ignorance. I'm just a pesky Northerner. Everywhere south of Leeds is * to me!

[MK Chris]

Sorry, excuse my ignorance. I'm just a pesky Northerner.

So's Rachel.

[bmstinton93]

Kidderminster is hardly in the north...

[chrysostom]

Above Northampton = North

[MK Chris]

Kidderminster is hardly in the north...

Above Northampton = North

What he said. The Midlands is a myth, there's no such place. There is north and more north.

[Tico987]

I'm clearly more North being a Geordie and all that.

If you're from south of Leeds though...you're definitely a *.

[Nicola_Red]

To me, brummies are not northerners. The Midlands isn't the North.

[MK Chris]

They are and it is. So there.

[The Deadly]

I love the North. Northerners have given me many a good time.

[Nicola_Red]

Yep,us northern girls know how to have a good time (oo-er missus, pun intended etc).

[dimtimjim]

Yeah, dun't half talk funny tho...

[Johnny 1989]

Anything North of Waltham Abbey is the North, this includes Norwich, Oxford, Milton Keynes & Luton, plus you all speak in strange accents outside the home counties anyway

Thats certainly true. I have a high success rate in the Manchester region.

[English Bob]

On a messageboard I used to frequent, some members put custom badges on their profiles, saying what 'clubs' they were members of. One delightful badge proclaimed the owner a member of the "Everything south of Birmingham is France" club. Methinks it was a club for northerners

[Nicola_Red]

Oxford North? You're mental. And I'll have you know my accent is delightful. None of you have heard me speak, so you'll just have to take my word for it.

It's north of Epping so that's good enough for me and you're lying about your accent as I've been to Manchester quite a few times so you can't deceive me young lady

[Nicola_Red]

What are you trying to say, that we're common?

Speaking as an outsider, i always found those in the north, midlands & south Wales to be much friendlier than southerners .
It may be a stereotype, but just possibly its a stereotype because its true.

Not every southerner i met was a massive ignorant bellend, but i ran into a lot more of them in the south of England than in the midlands & north.

In mitigation I base all of these jaundiced & possibly unfair views on the two years i spent living in Reading. A town that makes Swindon look like Hawaii.
So maybe i'm being a tad unkind to the south of England outside of mid Berks.
