not even! I mean, I may not be able to distinguish between the voice of someone from Leeds and someone from Sheffield, but at least I don't pretend all Northerners sound the same! well obviously the southerners that drink cider, sound like farmers.... Last time I checked, that was Somerset?

I live on a road leading to a college at one end and a large park at the other ;D (And if you're gonna start on 'but that road leads to a road that leads to London' then so do all the roads up North too! )
