<p>[QUOTE="Ownedbybear, post: 8793105, member: 29"]The denizens of the different villages of London have a tendency to regard other villages with suspicion. And they do vary wildly in character, housing styles, even. Ask a Londoner where they’re from and they’ll say Hackney or Ealing or whatever. The most suspicion is between Norf and Sarf. A black cab driver, hailed, will suck his teeth and mutter the immortal words, “I don’t go Sarf of the river, guv.” </p><p><br /></p><p>Even the transport is different. The Tube never really got Sarf , mostly due to geology but some down to politics. So Sarf London has overground trains. Norf, we have the Tube. And Sarf is way newer mostly only a few centuries.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
