Colocho Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 There's definitely some pathetic people where you live. Indeed. But I can't think of anywhere round here, where 'hating' someone from a nearby town is inherent within the local culture... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 The point I was originally trying to make, is I've never seen such animosity between the inhabitants of two different towns. Have you ever left your house? For example pretty much every town and city in Yorkshire has a passionate hate for every other town and city in Yorkshire which often manifests itself violently. I'm glad that where I live people aren't that pathetic. i would guess it tends to manifest itself more where the majority have long term roots. it's hard to get emotive over a place you have little attachment to. saying that my bro-in-law lived in horsham for a few years and they had a similar thing about crawley.

Guest Haris Vuckic Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 See where I'm from - space - there is no inherent hatred for anybody - but I don't see the need it belittling people whom may have a hatred because they have had The Adams family living next door for a few hundred years & have perhaps grown to hate them.

Guest Roger Kint Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Shame on us Northern Knuckledraggers for being 12 miles apart when one of the weirdest fierce rivalries involves the sophisticated Southerners of Brighton and Crystal Palace who are 40 miles apart.

Isn't there enough conflict in the world, I can't see why people would want to pass this nonsense onto their children? It's something that is beyond how I choose to live my life - and the kind of people I choose to associate myself with. On that basis, I probably never will understand it.

magpie418 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 This is going on way too long. The point I was originally trying to make, is I've never seen such animosity between the inhabitants of two different towns. It's the villages you need to worry about. Seghill against Annitsford or Seaton Delaval against Cramlington - those were the days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get off the high horse man. It's not a high horse. It's incomprehension. Not relevant directly to regional rivalries but definitely relevant per se, I suggest you read Gilroy's 'there aint no black in the union jack' to get an idea about how socio-economic differences and similarities can manifest into hatred.

Then again considering your irrational dislike of everyone not from Newcastle I'm not surprised by your daft generalisations these days.
