And as a Geordie, I've not once been given any grief by Londoners, Scots, or Irish. I can't remember the last time I heard someone slag off anyone from another British region. But then, I live in a mining community, and everyone here is so kind you could brick their windows and they'd ask you in for a cup of tea and a biscuit.
