Skytower, how dare you blaspheme the fine city that is Nottingham!

Whenever I'm home I find the people there generally nice and approachable m'duck

In these sort of things people generally still count Newport as a town, which is just as well, because in my book Newport is the rudest, most ignorant, filthy excuse for a city on this Earth.

I personally think that most places I've been to in the South East are full of rude people, London especially. On the other hand, living in Sheffield as I do, I find it to be incredibly welcoming and warm, people working shops are always polite and up for a chat. I've always found that - make a comment to someone up North and you get a laugh and something back. Do the same down South and you get stared at as if you're a freak.

How fucking dare you!

Sorry to offend you!
I'll change it then, Liverpool then Bristol, then Stirling, then London and then Manchester.

I must say that Newcastle people are some of the friendliest people I have ever met.

That better?
Or have I offended someone from Stirling or Manchester?

Never been to Oxford then clearly.

Amen to that. I love it when I get to freelance over in Rutland (England's smallest mainland county don't you know) as the people in every single shop are friendly...and even better they know who you are as they all tune in to the local radio station. It's like being a minor celeb. London people are horrible - but it's a means to an end.

Even at rush hour in some of the more frenetic cities I've visited, this common courtesy is observed, but apparently not on the London Underground. That's just rude.

Agree with you on London, we do have a rude bunch here, normally old boys in suits & career women

Nottingham has very polite people, when I visited recently, they don't look misrable either

"Polite" and "don't look miserable" are definitely not terms I'd put in the same sentence as "Nottingham"...

They have been the last two times I went although that was on Sunday, alot of them seemed chilled out

I'm surprised to see Cardiff mentioned.

Even the Asians are friendly. The Asian bloke who works in the Texaco petrol station on Newport road is always full of beans. Even at 3am!

It has got to be London for me. I don't like it at all. I have to travel to London a fair bit during the year and the best thing about London is leaving the godforsaken place. Most Southerners are rude with the exception of myself and those from the South West.
I have family Oooop North and i love it up there. North Wales is a definate no, no. I went to Bangor once and they don't like the English very much, if at all.

Bangor is a vast pool of nothingness.

I went there once. It took me only two minutes to wonder why.
