Welcome to London you ****ing Northerner

[deptfordmarmoset]

earlier we got the fast train to Stratford which I believe people call the over ground train which went all the way through a tunnel

That's so we don't confuse it with the underground which has a habit of being overground in suburban areas.

I'm Poppin up't Snake Pass in't mornin.

I recall stating to a local "I'm looking forward to the climb starting" when I did a ride a few years ago. He replied - (Actually I have no idea what he replied, some grunting, maybe a reference to his mother in law..)

Most foreigners tend to dissolve into a jibbering wreck when confronted with a couple of typical northern hillocks. I think that a lot of the southern terrain must be decidedly downhill in comparison?

What do you call a Larndunner North of Watford?

Lost.

Pi$$ed if he gets anywhere near one of our proper pints instead of that gnat's tiddle they serve daahn sarf...

 

[nickyboy]

I will try to avoid steps, it's for the best

People that stop in doors are the ones up against the wall first in the revolution . Before lawyers , bankers and politicians !

What before estate agents?.....i don't think so.

If you feel another wind up coming on you could always start a conversation with someone on a bus or tube.

Londoners think they're 'ard, but they forget that when Michael Caine's Carter went up North he was dead on a beach two hours later. Conversely, when Northern Alf Roberts was thrown from the top of a multi storey car park he survived without a scratch and went on to run a shop in Coronation Street for 30 years.

It was my fault. I'd never seen a subway before so I had stopped in wonderment

I remeber standing on the "wrong side" of the escalators in the tube. The reaction was almost as if I had murdered someone.

Rulez about which side of a moving stair to stand on? Feck me. I'd be standing in wonderment at the bottom of the escalator.

There's even pictograms for those whose first language isn't English...

What, like Northerners?

 

[Jody]

If only Northerners learned to read they could understand the very clear signs in in tube stations and on the escalators about which side to stand on. There's even pictograms for those whose first language isn't English...

It was nearly 30 years ago. I don't remeber seeing signs but they may have been there. @User They were probably tollerant as I was under 16 and looking like a proper tourist.

So long as you stand out of the way.

Is there a sign explaining how I should do that? With pictures, obvs.

 

[Jody]

Goodness, it's lucky you weren't sold into servitude.

Basically get out of their way if they have a London accent.
