North or South

[jrichards1]

We are from London and have been owners of a property in Calis for 8 years. During this time we are always suprised to hear a southern accent, although having said that I must admit we did notice more 2012.
Do you think Calis is predominantly a destination for holiday makers/property buyers from the north of the UK? Scunner, you may have a good idea from the 'where are you' map.

If so, why do you think that is?

If this forum is anything to go by it is pretty evenly spread.

I guess though we would have to take into account that anywhere north of watford gap will not have broadband and therefore will struggle to use this website or computers in general

I'll get my coat!

Never mind your coat, I would suggest a decent pair of running shoes

I agree with Steve (on the map point, not the rest   ) - but from an estate agency point of view I have always noticed that purchasers were far more likely to be from the North of England. No idea why...

On our complex we have 10 apartments. Of those, 2 Welsh   5 Northerners  2 southerners, 1 vacant but owned by Northerners. But it's the Southerners you can hear 1st and loudest. (I don't mean you the Hydes if you are reading this).

Anyone that lives south of Thelwall Viaduct is a Southerner to most Northerners.

Careful !

Anyone that lives south of Thelwall Viaduct is a Southerner to most Northerners.

I think people from Leicester are midlanders and people from Nottingham are northerners. So there is my line.
