It’s like a regional version of “better a heathen than a heretic”
As an American, in Tennessee, I don’t understand it. It’s not like the Brits have to deal with fucking Kentuckians, the cousin banging weirdos. Why do they hate on their neighbors so much? I mean, I have to live next door to yankee posers who fuck their sisters and made meth the state bird. And you don’t see me hating on the neighbors like that!
Scousers’ opinion of people from Sefton, Knowsley, St Helens: yeah, sound, bit odd but whatever. Scousers’ opinion of people from the Wirral: plazzy Scousers, the dark side, woollybacks… It must be something to do with rivers.
It’s more sibling rivalry than hate. It’s far more terrifying. It gets even more so when something actually threatens either one. Anyone who’s seen the result of picking on the youngest of 3 brothers knows exactly what I mean.
British people hate people from the next county over more than they hate Gypsies and foreigners combined

where’s this joke from? it feels familiar.
If I got it from somewhere I’ve forgotten. Closest similar joke I know is mosquito is the state bird
Doesn’t even have to be the next county over for Newcastle and Sunderland

Gateshead is just getting caught in the crossfire
Next county? What about those swivel-eyed, inbred, sister-marrying, six-fingered, funny-talking loons from… the next town along?
