Tha dun wanna be drinkin’ watta frm theer, it’s full o hoss piss an’ cow shite”.

There was a documentary in the UK in the late 1960s where southern English believed that Northerners ate their meals from pan lids, and only ate fish and chips or dripping butties (beef fat). The prejudices were quite real, and were a throwback to the 1930s when the north of England was in the grip of a serious recession. People in the south didn't suffer as much. We've always called them soft southern twats.

Geordies are from the City of Newcastle area. There’s tons of different accents in Northern England and each region have their own quirks, customs and food. It’s not just a North/South England characterisation, it’s way more complex! 😉

[@kumasenlac5504]

It's pretty universal for a couple of reasons - Britain was a really good place to settle (invade) and until the 1840s most people had never been more than ten miles from their home. So regional (and local) accents, cuisine and vocabularies took root - enabling a whole pantheon of suspicions, prejudices and jealousies to grow, allowing almost everyone to have someone else to look down on...

[@Picnicl]

Whilst some large places in the north have negative connotations, particularly for being parsimonious or reverse snobs (or, in some cases, to a lesser extent, Hyacinth Bouquet-style snobs), Newcastle pretty much avoids any seriously negative connotations, unless you count a probably on average overstated reputation for liking drinking and football as some. It is cosmopolitan and educated enough to not be purely defined by the industrial aspects of its past and its friendly sounding accent generally has little or no detectable underlying alternative motive/modus operandum to it. As a result, it's the perfect target for blinkered Southern horror in this sketch. (n.b. Newcastle doesn't meaningfully resemble Viz either). And, yes, Northerners can be just as - or more - blinkered about Southerners.

[@tonydakin2767]

In my part of Northern England we have Jam Eaters (Workington), Marrah's (Whitehaven), Sheep Shaggers (Millom). Those from the North East are usually called Geordies but that's not strictly true. You are a Geordie if you hail from Newcastle Upon Tyne but if you came from South Shields you're a Sand Dancer, From Sunderland (Maccum), Middlesborough (Smog Monster / Smoggy) or Hartlepool (Monkey Hanger). There are many more but that will give you plenty to be going on with for now.
