Title: North or South
Post by: jrichards1 on January 04, 2013, 16:20:59 PM
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!    ;)

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).

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

Very very rarely do you hear southern accents from the majority of visitors around Hisaronu during the season.. also the gangs of girls parading down bar street at night are always  northerners  :-[    On our complex of ten we have, one swede, three brummies (including midlands) two northerners, four southerners ( me included )

People from Northampton are southerners and people from Coventry are Midlanders. My lines are becoming quite clear now  :)

Well as long as you don't count Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, Somerset, Dorset, Devon, Cornwall and, of course, the historic county of Bristol as part of The South I won't complain.

I live in England but I'm 120 miles north of Manchester, so Manchester is the midlands and anything below Birmingham is the south, so there.
