[SOCCERROO FOX]

If anyone votes either way on this they need to leave Leicester forever

With pleasure

Also your not related to little Kitch who hangs around the Blaby and Whetstone football club are you?

[Christoph]

If you based it on general population intelligence, I'd say North.

[ajthefox]

It's in the fecking midlands, no two ways about it.

Don't care what anyone says, I'm not Northern and I'm not Southern.

[DANGEROUS TIGER]

North is North, South is South, East is East, and West is West.-------The Midlands are the Midlands. How can it be anything else?

What a barmy post! :rolleyes:

[Lineker's Left Foot]

North because we don't say 'parth' for path or 'barth' for bath etc.. we don't put 'r's in words that don't have them !!

[Kitchandro]

Um... Why?

it was a joke...jeez

*LINGUISTICS NERD ALERT*

Well, technically it's just a different vowel sound that southerners produce, rather than the insertion of [r]. Insertion of [r] into words is found in rhotic dialects such as those found in the West Country or western areas of Lancashire in words such as "cart", but the difference between northern 'a' and southern 'ah' in words like "path" "castle" and so on is merely a different vowel sound. For more information Google 'Watford Gap Isogloss'.

I always think of Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds and Newcastle as the North. The South is always London and the stuff on the south coast. Except Cornwall, which is that-westerny-bit-that-isn't-wales.

Leicester, of course, is in the Midlands. Definitely not part of the great unwashed masses of the North.
