up northness

Does the North ever get sunlight? It's so grey and yuck here, and a bit rainy. I don't think I've seen it be sunny since I got here.

    Hush down. It gets far worse in York than this!? It's just a bit of rain. It will also be far sunnier here in summer than it will be where I come from. Plus this is much warmer than last year. Don't be so NESH!

    Can you see the sun through all that smog? :p

    And your North is really the middle. True North is the Highlands and it gets loads of sun. How do you think we manage to breed all them haggis without sun?

    It's just miserable here - it doesn't seem to get properly light at all and then it's dark by 4pm!

    Do they breed lots of haggis up north then? running around on the hills! hehe

    we get some alright weather up here, just last couple of weeks its been a bit dark and rainy, but i think its same everywhere at the moment aint it.

    anyway north = greatness.

    That is what I was thinking. You guys are in the middle. Britain doesn't end when it reaches the top end of England you know.

    I know it doesn't!
    I was just bemoaning the greyness and lack of sun. Everyone refers to York as 'oop north' so I did as well. Ah well. I'll shut the curtains and it will go away.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Was just saying. Anyway its grey here too.

    Agreed.

    lol yeah ok...
    gawd i dont want to move to sheffield...
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Agreed.

    Also agreed.

    The changeable, unreliable, often godawful weather is part of Northern England's character imo. It's something for us to grumble about too...there's nowt much else because the North is so utterly fabulous.

    Weather is the least of Southerners' problems. :p;)

    yeah i dont like shandy, and i like gravy on my chips. im happy where i am.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Its a scientific fact that its "Grim oop North" If you drive from the south to scotland as I have a a fair few times, you will notice that all the buildings have a layer of grim on them when you get oop north and this only reciedes as you approach the border.

    No way, Sheffield is constantly beautiful.

    Do you not feel like you're choking on the smog?

    Nobody lives more north than I do.

    York is too posh (i.e has tourists!) to be considered the Proper North anyway.

    Sheffield is many things, beautiful it is not. It is grimy - especially Brightside.

    no, your a puff if the weather gets you down. The norths great, never really understood whats so great about down south everytime i've visited i've been extremly bored.

    guess it must be the fact i live in a place where theres probably more pubs then people, at least it seems it nowadays

    I have to disagree here. You would feel the same if you had 6 years of bad weather experience.

    There're shit bits of the north, and shit bits of the south.

    Seaside towns are fucking awful everywhere, though.

    Sheffield ain't that bad. Brightside is crap, as are other parts but you get that in any city. I love Sheffield City Centre, and once they finish the renovations it will be fantastic. I would also prefer to live in Sheffield than London.

    I spent a bit of time in Sheffield last year and I think it was alright. But, I just love Yorkshire. :D

    I'd have to be desperately stupid to want to move down south.

    I would hate to live in the south. I wouldn't mind the midlands but I like where I am :)

    See, at this time of the year I reckon *everywhere* is kinda grey. Nowt to do with geography.
