I know it means different things in the UK than in the States but in both cases there seems to be a belief that geographical location can dictate character. In Britain Northerners go on about Southrn softies and in the USA southerners seem to be looked at as rednecks and inbred. Where exactly is the dividing line in each case or is it merely a matter of perspective? I am from the South of England right on the border between the two most southerly counties, from my perspective pretty much everywhere is up north.
