North England is a unique place. Some of you may be a northerner yourself, or some might know someone from the north, others might not know anything about it. There are many northern traits, some specific to certain areas of the north and some which are common throughout. Here\u2019s some traits that are stereotypical to most people who live in North England.<\/p>\n

1. You Have an Obsession with Tea<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you didn’t already know, people from the north have a serious obsession with\u00a0drinking tea. There is nothing better than sitting down after a long hard day, putting your feet up and having a trusty cuppa tea with a biscuit to dunk in it… (sorry, I meant a lot<\/em>\u00a0of biscuits). To us northerners a cup of tea can solve anything, and is the perfect companion in any situation. Having a bad day? Have a cup of tea. Broke up with your boyfriend? Have a cup of tea. Celebrating? Have a cup of tea. Already had one 5 minutes ago? Ah let’s have another! From the minute we wake up, to the moment we go to sleep – we want tea. We even plan our day around it, as soon as one is finished the countdown is on to when we can have another. Money can’t buy happiness, but it can definitely buy Yorkshire Tea!<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

2. You Never Take a Coat<\/strong><\/h2>\n

One thing about the north is the continuous bad weather in the winter months. But, if there’s one thing us northerners can handle, it is the cold. It could be the middle of December, minus 546 degrees and you will still find us rocking the cold without<\/em> a coat.\u00a0Light rain or \u2018chucking it down\u2019 rain, this will not ruin our night out, that\u2019s for sure! But you can guarantee, if the sun does decide to show (even if it\u2019s 10 degrees) we will be soaking up the rays in our local beer garden, probably in our t-shirts! We know no limits, we\u2019ve gotta\u2019 get it while we can.<\/p>\n

\n<\/h6>\n

3. Everyone Is Your Best Friend<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Northern people have a reputation for being ‘nice’, which is relevantly true. People from the south try to avoid eye contact and interaction at all costs, not up here \u2013 we love it. You pass a stranger while walking into town and you’re instantly acknowledged with a pleasant ‘alright love’. You get on a bus and you are immediately greeted with a smile. You\u2019re patiently queuing in your local taxi rank and the person in-front is now somehow related to you? It\u2019s that easy, ask someone how their day is going and there you have it \u2013 you\u2019re instantaneously best friends!<\/p>\n

4. Breakfast, Dinner and Tea<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Now this can get confusing. As everybody else knows it as breakfast, lunch and dinner. Up north there\u2019s no doubt about it, it\u2019s breakfast, dinner and tea. I know this get\u2019s complicated for people past the northern\/southern divide, but we do our own thing up north and there\u2019s no compromising. Not only is tea our favourite hot beverage and to put it quite frankly, our way of living, it is also our evening meal.<\/p>\n

\n<\/h6>\n

5. Only People from The North Can Understand You<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re from the north then it\u2019s more than likely you won\u2019t pronounce your t\u2019s, h\u2019s and you\u2019ll finish every sentence with \u2018like\u2019. Oh, and the word \u2018the\u2019 won\u2019t even be in your vocabulary. Instead we have a common ground where everyone just say\u2019s \u2018int\u2019, for example, \u2018it\u2019s int car\u2019 or \u2018int it good!\u2019. We all talk so fast that people who are from the south don\u2019t even have a chance at understanding us. Even I\u2019ll admit, it\u2019s confusing right? I mean, sometimes I even confuse myself. No matter where you are from in the north, none of us pronounce our words properly, and to anyone who does are instantly identified as posh<\/em>.<\/p>\n

6. Chips and Gravy Are the Perfect Combination<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Everybody knows that people from North England love gravy, we will literally put it on anything. There\u2019s the traditional Sunday dinner which is loved all around the country and gravy is simply mandatory to accompany your Yorkshire puddings. But, we also love chips and gravy. Yes, it is a thing. And yes, it is the perfect combo. I\u2019m sure if we could, we would even drink it! (Actually, I know we would. My friends already do).<\/p>\n

\n<\/h6>\n

7. We Stick Together<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s face it, if you\u2019re from North England then we\u2019re basically neighbors, right? When you head down south and you meet a fellow northerner, that\u2019s it, you are instantly unbreakable. Have you got a friend that lives two hours away from me? Oh, you know what their name rings a bell! That\u2019s my mum\u2019s best friend\u2019s daughter\u2019s boyfriends, friend? What a small world eh! Us northerners like to stick together, and you will always find something in common (maybe your mutual love for drinking tea?) And no matter what you\u2019ll always be regarded as \u2018the northerner\u2019, but we\u2019d have it no other way!<\/p>\n
