Chips are good - well in that sense, legit! It wasn't a diss!
My mum's family were from the North Wales.
Melbourne people always have a big big big chip over Sydney. It's a pride

They have a chip on their shoulder - and understandably.
It's that old economic divide that manifested itself during the industrial
revolution. Read North South by Mrs Gaskell - one of the first works to
eally confront it. Alternatively read any Christopher Eccleston interview.

Interesting post James.

this is what i've picked up from years of watching british tv in a
former
colony. so if i'm wrong blame
the goodies
this divisions were further sharpened by the decline of the industrial
revolution and the closure of the mines post second world war. it
reached
it's nadir during thatcher's years when the miner's union was defeated
after a long long strike and the mass closure of pits and mass
unemployment.
IanMJust curious--was there a notable racial component to this? (regards
miners strike, north/south divide)
Hi Ian.
No, thankfully there was no race issues really in this matter, more a case
of class divide really.
I'd expand further, but a) I'm not particuarly well educated and b) we're
well

Yeah, well, they always were a bunch of cultural philistines down there. I
mean, you know, they think they like culture, what with their stuffed
olives
don't be forgetting the midlands please, very hard hit under thatcher.. it
wasn't only minors who lost their jobs, we once had a car industry that was
the envy of the world - and probably only matched in scale by detroit..
northeners generally have chips on their shoulders - and southerners

the only chips I had got eaten with my pie last night, thank you very much.
back you up on the sense of humour issue though,

yep, midlanders must have a good sense of humour to be coming out with

With regard North/South divide no real race issues. Mainly class issues
as Alex points out.
Britian did suffer race riots in the early 80s but these were spread
over the UK (Toxteth/Liverpool, Bristol, Brixton/London).
Possible reasons here:
as i understand it: up north they're hard, down south they're a bunch
of shandy drinkers.
Betcha won't say that to my homies from Cardiff. :)
