Mentally, what is the difference between irish and english ?

“You could have given an example or two but instead it's 'trust me, bro... “

I agree with him on this.

We wanted to hear what his truthful insights were, and you didn’t provide us with any.

I am not talking about who knows UK better. I just want to hear his truthful insights.

I've given you an example. An insight is knowledge, it's arrogant of you as a foreigner to think you know better.

So do you agree with this pearl of wisdom from Oliver? Do you find that comment insightful?

Read my earlier posts and don't ask me stupid questions.

Well don't be encouraging him by giving him credit for his stupidity. You tell me not to ask stupid questions and don't pull him up on his absurd theories.

My literal first reply to him was calling him out on nonsense.

Graham has Cumbrian origins. He's not unhappy to be associated with Northern English.

Obviously Oliver's statement about Scotland being a region of Northern England is cuckoo, but there is an element of truth underlying it about Northern English being more culturally similar to Scots than to Southern English.

Bold part can be the case. I’m not opposing that.

I opposed the first part.

Oh come on when I visit Leeds I feel like I am in the same foreign country as Glasgow, imo Brits north of Chesterfield are barbarians.

However, you can easily see Oliver’s bias here.

What bias? I just don't feel like I am in a different country in Leeds than Glasgow
, it's pretty obvious that Leeds and Glasgow both feel quite similar, it isn't like the difference between say Cologne and Lyon which would be very different even where food and drink are concerned.

I've given you an example.

You didn’t give us in the first place that was the problem.

it's arrogant of you as a foreigner to think you know better.

Your fantasy. I’ve never claimed I know UK better than anyone else.

“imo Brits north of Chesterfield are barbarians.“

Bias is in this part.

Go ahead and share your opinions with Scots in Glasgow. Go tell them you are a region of Northern England. I wonder how they will react.

If they were Rangers fans they wouldn't mind that much, history is more complicated.



Northern English are a lot more similar to lowland Scots in all ways than they are to people from Essex say. The bigger question is if lowland Scots are more similar to them than they are to highland Scots.

Why? They are northerners so their character is different, a bit more brash, more outgoing, a bit more rawer in terms of emotions and less cultured.
