Theres still a fair bit of ethnic tribalism in England, with a strong divide between Northerners, Southerners, Londoners (and Kernow (Cornwall)*).They may have blended but Northerners are still loathe to being confused for the pompous morons down south and as for Kernow,well England is a foreign country.
Really? I mean, from experience we tease people from certain cities for that city's stereotype, but I've always considered it to be like insulting your best mate.
