North South DivideWhen I moved house from Liverpool to Northampton, I experienced first hand the North/South Divide.
On leaving Liverpool, the last piece of graffiti I remember seeing was scrawled on a vomit-stained cash machine at Liverpool University. This machine - a Royal Bank of Scotland one I believe - had emblazoned across it in black marker 'Danny and Ste are kiddas all the way!'
I don't know who Danny and Ste are, but their occupation is apparently full time kiddas. What is a kidda? Who knows.
Arriving in Northampton a week or so later, there was some graffiti on a blue fence wrapped around the half-finished leisure complex Sol Central. This was in black spray paint and read 'I recommend you listen to these distinguished gentlemen'.
I was taken aback. Even the graffiti is posh in the South.
