one of my friends started up the perpetual north/south debate via e-mail and explained that southern england was better because it produced better bands, such as radiohead, pink floyd and queen. from the north, along with the 'highly over-rated beatles', one of his examples of a crap band was 'wanky' new order.
so, if anyone meets GARETH STRACHAN from BEDFORDSHIRE at some point in the near future, give him a good smack on the head for me, as i'm too far away to do it right now. just don't hurt him too bad, as deep down he is a really nice guy.
