You also have to remember that Northeners have being so awesome upon times that William Conquerer decided the only way to balance out the awesomeness in the Country was to massacre the North. It had nothing to do with the North being rebelious.
It was the same with the Scotts and the constant raiding of York (Nothing to do with the fact the city was built on essentially flood plains and thus was easy pickings)

Viking occupation of Northern England. Lots of local dialect words and names in the north have scandinavian roots.Mau95 said:
The divide is that straight line just below Yorkshire where you instinctively don't like anyone from below it. Come to think of it though, anywhere outside Yorkshire is a bit iffy. As is North, East and West Yorkshire. And Sheffield, Doncaster, anywhere that isn't Barnsley really. In fact, I'm not a big fan of those dingle easts either.
It's just one of those things that doesn't mean anything and is just fun to jibe at. Someone might call it a humorous satire on old stereotypes of insular British people afraid of the unfamiliar. I wouldn't though, not being one of them southern folk.
