Do you think northerners have more fun?
I spent some time down south earlier this year and it’s a lot harder to get meets. Do you think southerners are more reserved in swinging?

No, they're miserable fuckers. I should know, I am one lol.. (that was a joke btw)..
Northerners tend to be a lot more friendlier in my experience. They say exactly what they want too, which helps.  |

We are originally from the Black Country region of the West Midlands, but didn't start playing till we moved South.
We do ok for meets and party invites in the Southwest, but we also do ok when we go back to the Black Country and we usually end up at Chams 
We went North to Yorkshire this summer and didn't get one reply to our ad 
We are looking forward to the Skeggy social, although don't think thats actually North is it? |

midlands/northerners are more friendly in my experience. I'm a midlander living down south and i've had lots of comments from locaal contacts about how smiley and friendly i am so i think it could be true. |

During my many years of traveling the whole of the uk i would have to say the north is better but having said that i can think of places both north and south that i would not want to be a stranger in.
Hell even the Mancs around here are nice to me and i am a Yorkshireman. lol

Well i live in the east midlands and would definetly say there is a strong divide between the north and south. Both have good qualities and both have bad, would probley say that northerners where more outwardly friendly where as the southerners more subtle |

As a couple of southerners living in the North, we would say we get much more fun up here. We're going down south next week and tried to arrange a meet whilst we're down there and gave it up as a bad job in the end. I realise this time of year a lot of people are on holiday themselves, but by what we've looked at the fun is definitely around these parts. So glad we've relocated!! |

"Where does North actually start
to most it starts at watford
to us northeners its leeds
bloody hell leeds cant be the start of the north. that would put Barnsley in the midlands lol.
Steve "
good point that.... I tend to call anything from south yorkshire upwards "the north"...... |

"having travelled fairly extensively round the country i would have to say the northerners are the friendliest and most playful crowd. certainly more welcoming to strangers to the area, inviting them to join in the hospitality and fun
"
Have to say, having cycled into Sunderland city centre on a saturday night having cycled all the way from Workington in Cumbria i was apprehensive to say the least...
Doing the same in Manchester city centre at 10pm at night would probably end in a kicking & your bike being nicked, but everyone we met/saw was really friendly and encouraged us to keep pedalling to make it to Roker Pier.
It's true about the women though - they don't wear much!  |
