What's the difference between Gary Glitter and Arthur Scargill? No........I can't.
As a Northern, Jammy Dodger hater, who believes lard is for swimmers and not butties, I will be voting for the same organ jugglers as usual.
"Arthur Scargill - great strike, disappointing result."
It's a common phallic symbol, Jayne, that there is a mystical line that separates the North and South of the country passing through Watford.
I can now categorically dispel this myth that it runs through Watford. The line is actually much thicker than first thought and is called 'The Midlands' which is neither North nor South. This area has long been known for spawning great intellect, the best looking inhabitants and ingenuity.
Unfortunately we are plagued with the worst accents and have been raised on a diet consisting of chips, mushy paes and Ginsters pasties, which has left some of us with a flatulence problem and contributes immensely to global warming (fortunately I escaped that one!).
However we do have a high influx of immigrants, second only to our once great capital Londinium, and the waiting list to get in can be as long as 45 minutes, depending which bus you are on.

The north starts at the Watford Gap? Nah, as a south-londoner, the north starts on the opposite site of the River Thames. Fortunately, my feet are kept firmly on the ground by my OH from scottish mining stock.
Ummm Alan, still not quite getting it. A few more questions if that's okay:
why/how phallic symbol?
Does this area include Norfolk? Please list examples of the good looking & ingenious.'The Midlands' which is neither North nor South. This area has long been known for spawning great intellect, the best looking inhabitants and ingenuity.
Ginsters pasties originate from Cornwall. Do trade links exist between this 'Midlands' place and the rest of the country? Do you have to buy them on the black market?diet consisting of chips, mushy paes and Ginsters pasties
bath or barth?plagued with the worst accents
I must say that this is all quite fascinating. Here, in the area that lies to the South of Watford we are still governed by the customs and habits of the Norman Court. Everyone must speak French in public places, present a half of all their produce to the local nobleman (usually bananas and oranges) and pledge allegiance to Marcel Marceau once a month to avoid being burnt as a witch. Oh, and grow our leg hair......gawd! I hate that one!

As a Stokie living in Southampton for ...ummm the past nearly 10 years I am considered super Northern even though I see myself as a midlander.
I miss meat and potato pies You just can't get them down here.
Oh and the kids here used to take the p*** out of me for telling them to open their text boooooks rather than text buks and one of them in particular used to cringe when I said graph instead of grrarph.
Though I do think we've got slightly off the topic of Dennis' pretty goodies
