A True Gentleman

I have to visit the North of England soon and am scared of the deprivation I'll find. Is it as bad as I fear?

The place is Harrogate.
Additional Details
I live in very comfortable village in Hampshire.

Whilst dodging the bullets whipping down James Street, and avoiding the youths with knives in The Winter Gardens, I'm sure you'll manage.

After all, LK Bennett, Space NK, Escada and Voyage have all recently found it safe enough to open boutiques there.

I would watch out for the Louis Vuitton carrying, champagne sipping millionaires in Hotel Du Vin and Ministry of Sound Minibar though. They can get a bit aggressive if you don't have the right shoes on.


peroxide.pixie
Oh dear, you really should remove your head from your own anus as you sound rather full of it to me. I am a southerner but have been living 'up north' for a year and its just fine.


3thinker
Hmm, I wouldn't visit Yorkshire. They're all loonies.

Lancashire is very civilized.


Blitz
We're walking on money here in the north with not spending every last penny we earn on our mortgages due to over priced housing.

I think you'll find Harrogate to be a very nice place, just as comfortable as a little Hampshire village.


jed slade
you will be amazed at the civilised way they live in Harrogate,a very upmarket place to live.Unlike hampshire the northerners have a good sense of humour,and will be fairly tolerant of your presence in such a hallowed place.ENJOY.

Thats why the North is full of rough and ready's - they don't worry like the nancy southerners..

Welcome to flat-cap country! Harrogate is the retirement capital of Yorkshire with one the highest average income.
You are kidding, of course.


Gem Gem
HA HA HA, You should come and visit my work for deprivation!!

It's worse than you can imagine. I visited Harrogate once but was turned back by the foul smell and poverty stricken locals begging for some change from the rich, elegant Londoners. Please reconsider your decision and protect your sensibilities.

Aye lad! It's reet grim up North, won't tek us long though to whip a southern jessie into shape and send him home a man


spacedoutangel
The North of England is basically the same as the south apart from we have a better sense of humour, better dress sense & have the ability to tolerate jumped up little squirts like yourself.

Nah you'll find no deprivation in Harrogate it's a lovely place.

Harrogate is one of the most affluent places in Yorkshire and it's a beautiful town. Close by you've got great places like Leeds, York, Thirsk (nice market town), The Yorkshire Dales ....... You'll love it up here!!!


John H
ya southern twit!!

Harrogate is quite nice actually!!

I've lived in the deprivation of the south (east london) and believe me its far worse!!!

tha cheek of it!!!!


(ps - I'm trying to get my a** down to south devon because of the amount of northern monkeys that live in the town near me!!!)

You should be safe enough in Harrogate! Don't forget to take your Northern phrase book with you though, the locals like when you speak the language. I'd stay at home if i were you, it's safer. By the by, are you by any chance the only gay in the village? or maybe a laaaady?


Arthur B
Harrogate is definitely very deprived.
The unemployed, which make up 90% of the populace only have one widescreen LCD HD tv per room.
Less than three cars per family and most people have to share their house with other members of the family.
Seriously Harrogate is an excellent place to visit with Cutlers on the Stray being a wonderful little hotel near the town centre. Go there and enjoy!!!


Candiceâ„¢
I would suggest you first visit the colonial settlement for convicts known as Australia ,have a look around then make your decicsion,Harrogate will then be walk in park LOL ♥


gardener
we dont want a southern t--t like you up here.stay where you are.


jk_thegooner
You might want to soften the blow at finding such deprivation by taking a trip to Ethiopia first. At least it might prepare you for what is to come.

LOL

Better and more civilized people up there than down here in the south.
thats coming from a white anglo saxon southerner who moved back down south

Not nearly as bad as you might be imagining Weallth and poverty in all areas.


Monkey Hanger
When will you southern people stop trying hurt us northerners man. We always friendly and we're always help you lot. And it not bad as you think mate.


♥Sophie♥
why oh why are southerners so harsh to northerners. we are happy, kind and helpful. Everyone thinks we use candles as lights, well guess what some one from up north invented the lightbulb he was called Joseph Swan and came from Sunderland. Southerners think northerners ain't got any money, that aint the case. 63% of the English population that are in debt come from down south. Don't bother cuming up norht ya wont be welcomed

Orwell made this epic journey before you, The Road To Wigan Pier is an exact reflection of my life in present day Manchester. Bring a cap and muffler.

Oh yeah we're all living in shanty towns with no sanitation and red crosses painted on our doors - honest!!!!

What the hell are you on mate???? It's the year 2007 not the bloody time of the the Great Plague!!! 1700's wasn't it??

We have a toilet in Harrogate now.
Soon we will get electricity and electric lighting, though I dont know why since you ont be able to see far on the streets due to the smog.


C C
It's probably Y0UR worst nightmare. Full of cobbled streets, gas lighting, satanic mills, people in cloth caps, girls with no shoes and Newcastle.
Need I say morer?

i live in a very comfortable village in dorset and strangely enough, i can recognise a tongue in cheek question when i see one. unlike most of your other answerers.


pablothehat
Dinna ye worry hinnie..'arragote isne reet up North,
tis in Yorkshire lad..you know, pit ponies, cloth caps.

And as for lack of amenities and deprivation, I'll have you know that each house now comes equipped with two tin baths, one for you and one for the coal, (that's if you can find a pit that's still operational after the 10 years of Tory mis-rule).


Suki Boo
Don't do it - you may start talking in a funny way!

There are worse areas though - try Ballymun or Tallaght on the outer areas in Dublin - Tallaght is actually nicknamed Tallafornia! Dublin is actually very nice though!
