Guest alex Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Geordies politest people in Britain. FACT! http://www.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30000-13452397,00.html ://http://www.sky.com/skynews/article/...452397,00.html IS MR RUDE A BRUMMIE? Brummies are the rudest people in Britain, a survey has revealed. And contrary to their aggressive image, Geordies are the politest, closely followed by Scousers. Researchers went undercover to measure the civility of residents in eight cities around the country, subjecting them to a series of "courtesy tests". They checked whether shop assistants said please and thank you, and whether people going into public buildings held the door for those behind them. Drivers were observed to see if they thanked those who let them into rush-hour traffic from side roads, while passers by were assessed for their willingness to stop and help someone who had dropped their shopping. The research for Readers Digest magazine found that Britons overall were polite 59% of the time, but that in Newcastle the figure was 77%. Liverpool came second with 70%, while Birmingham came bottom with residents managing common courtesy on just 43% of occasions. The other cities tested were Exeter, Cardiff, London, Southampton and Edinburgh. The north emerged as politer than the south in the tests , each of which was carried out ten times in each city.

Asprilla 96 Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 After the welcome I have received here, I can only agree! When you go somewhere new you can't help but notice any hostility as you are not in your natural environment. As time goes on though, you realise arseholes are arseholes and really there's not much more to it than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway I heard about this survey on Radio 5 this morning (before nicking the link from N-O) and it wasn't conducted in the most scientific way. I would agree with the results however Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
