For a while after we moved south I thought that anyone who was nice to me must come from the north - meaning Lancashire I suppose. The irony was that when I met Lancastrians in later life they had difficulty believing I was a Lancashire lass.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01529798893653033970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20735769.post-85554972243838684122018-06-19T11:43:17.953+01:002018-06-19T11:43:17.953+01:00I suppose the other question is where the North/So...I suppose the other question is where the North/South starts? <br /><br />I'm reminded of that sign I passed on the A1 the other day which said 'Newcastle and the South'.

However for quite a time if anyone was really nice to me I'd be convinced they or their forbears must have been from the North.<br /><br />Exile: not a compliment but more a mocking appraisal.

I'd think you'd look forward tothe peace and quiet.<br /><br />I'll bet I could've listened to Marta’s husky accented voice all day, too. Meow. And thus began your modeling career. As a lark. <br /><br />It made you furious to be told you were pretty because it either a) made you sound trite or b) you didn't know how to take a compliment.<br /><br />The last sentence is foreboding.
