i used to live in Stockport, then I went to Northumberland for a year when AWP got popular -I came back and couldn't understand how they couldn't get what Os was saying because he was speaking so slowly

It seems fairly clear to me. Now, there were times when I had to ask D to repeat himself several times in a conversation because he's full on geordie.

The whole package is brilliant, she looks fantastic.

I have always said that here in the States, we make fun of the state directly south of us. I don't know who Texas makes fun of.

Bri, did you like the ones with stars upon thars?

For PA, it's the state East of us.

I think you have that backwards.

Ha, I am from that state too.

Waitamin Shawnee, does that mean you make fun of West Virginia, or Kentucky? Because we here in Pennsylvania make fun of West Virginia, even though it's only south of 1/3 of us.

We don't make fun of Maryland. Sometimes we mock Baltimore, but so does everybody. We do make fun of Delaware, but not very often since it has better beaches than Jersey and no sales tax.

We make fun of Md a little bit... for being all KKK around Rising Sun. Although it's gotten better, you'll still want to paddle faster if you hear banjos...

I met some folks from Missouri who talked about a local vigilante Christian group which called themselfs "the word, the sword and the arm of the lord" Others referred to them pejoratively as "The sword, the lord, and the boys in the Ford"

here in Mich, we go for the canucks, eh.

...even though we're north of all y'all so obviously most superior...

We make fun of Kentucky. Of course, I'm on the west side of the state, so KY is south of me. I don't know who they make fun of in Youngstown. :p

In Maine, we made fun of the Frenchies to the north.
In Virginia, it's West Virginia you make fun of, but honestly, even West Virginia is becoming a bit more sophisticated. So we don't joke about them like we used to 15 years ago.
