So last week I met a few people and they were asking me where I am from and where I go to university… When I told them that I am from Northampton but go to university in Sheffield it started my all-time favourite debate...
The great North vs South!
Best question: What do you have on your chips?
Cheese? Curry Sauce? Or Gravy?
Cheese? Curry Sauce? Or Gravy?
Most annoying question I get asked whilst in Sheffield: Why
do you put an ‘R’ in Bath, Grass etc.?
This has caused hours of debating of which is correct!

Is it a bap, roll, barm, tea cake or breadcake? (The latter
left me completely perplexed when I first came across this)
I try to fit in when up North – I use some of the local
lingo and have tried the different foods (gravy on my chips) but after my first
term in Sheffield I came home for Christmas with an accent that was something
else… I started missing out random vowels and each time I said no it seemed to
come out as “Nuooooo”.
I absolutely love both the North and the South, and count
myself lucky that I have experienced living in both.
Have a great weekend!
