"London is fine for a couple of days but more than 48 hours down there and I'm gagging to get back up north. Got loads of family & mates living down there but couldn't do it myself. Too big, too busy, too expensive and I just think Northerners are (in general) a more friendly bunch. Remember my mate trying to make conversation with strangers on a tube once and everyone just looked at him as though he was mental. "I can see your 'outsiders' point of view! | |||

"North Wales vs South... ahem quite different. Nothing like walking along and hearing people switch to Welsh speaking as you approach, then struggle as the word doesn't exist. That could have a lot to do with the previous northern 'immigration' issues of the Mancunian/ Liverpudlians. Fortunately it stops when they realise they all hate Londoners
"This happens across wales I’ve had it numerous times...the funniest thing is most don’t realise I’m fluent in welsh. Having had some one do this once and insult me...was most amusing repeating it back to them.

"People switch from Welsh to English all the time in conversations. It’s what we do. I’ve spent 50 years living in a family that swaps between the two all the time. Here it all the time when I’m out an about. If you look online, there’s loads of English people who’ve moved to Wales saying they’ve lived her many years and never experienced people changing language to exclude. In fact, many say they wish people didn’t feel they had to swap to English when they are around. I’m not saying it never, ever happens, but someone tells me this happened to them a number of times each year. We all hear this - have there really been thousands of such incidents? Nah. Sorry, but this boils my p*ss these days! I love London btw! | |||

WHile you;re at it nip down to Old Deer Park and ask people there if the welsh don't like London. Given that oen fo the greatest welsh poets of the twentieth century spent most of his working life living in Golders Green. Of course there's a degree of ambivalence - one of the great welsh poems of the twentieth century is voiced by two miners in Charing Cross Road, looking for work, but the links between Wales and London, and between pre-saxon British history and London, like the ravens at the Tower, deserve a bit more analysis than you're giving them. | |||
