@lungshadow yeah I'd like to think not all of us are that shallow but who knows 🤔😢
@lungshadow because the english have never been racist to the Irish... please don't associate the Irish with the english, it is offensive. Americans don't have an equivalent to compare too, so as a thought exercise: imagine people just assuming You, Martin Shkreli and Ted Bundy are the same guy.
That is close too but not exactly enough to convey the insult inflicted by the thoughtless association.
@lungshadow Do you get an attitude every time you attempt to do an English [southern] accent?
I'm a foreigner and took a train to the north once. And, people in the north are the kindest and friendliest you've ever asked for. Many thanks to the ladies and the gentlemen in Edinburgh who went out of their way to help me find the hostel in the midst of the evening rain and snow. Without their help, I'd be totally lost. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Scotland isn't really what we mean when we say "the North".
Scots are on the whole a bit nicer but they're not in the Northern cultural catchment area.
Cuturally the term can mean anything (depending on you you ask) either from the top edge of the M25 up (ask someone from Sussex) to just above the Midlands (Birmingham or Leicester) upwards (if you ask someone from the Midlands).
Both definitions however generally end by the time you reach the Scotish borders.
@neil1691 Birmingham and above is the North, anything within the M25 is London and anything below London is the South.😂
@@alexg1778what are you on about. Anything above Manchester is north mate. Birmingham is very much midlands
@@alexg1778Literally only Londoners think Birmingham, a city in the west *midlands*, is in the north.
It's generally accepted that Manchester is the southernmost northern city.
No. By the North we mean North of England 😂

Chloe had three different actors and this was probably the best one.
I’m Aussie and I travelled all round England many years ago. Hands down the friendliest people I met were in York and Leeds. The whole North East is full of fantastic, unpretentious people.
Agree. Whitby too. Even the wild men of the Tees were super nice when we had to go through Middlesbrough.
Leeds is not North East but it's an easy mistake to make.
I love York
When Londoners visit Sheffield they're shocked to find people do talk to them at bus stops or on the tram. Oh my goodness me! 😂😂😂
Your from Australia 😮 omg no please don't kill me
I’m an American who used to live in London . I used to amuse myself in the tube standing by the tube map waiting for the train. When a local would ask for directions, they would shrink in horror upon hearing my accent. 😱
Really? English tv is full of American shows, it was when I was there, anyway.
It depends on the American accent, as we, like the UK, have many different accents, that are interpreted to mean certain things about who you are and where you come from. As I come from the upper-east-side of New York, and have a flat midlantic accent (think US news anchors), I actually had a Londoner with a distinctly estuary-tinged accent referring to my accent as “posh”, while downing a pint after work.
If I had a west-Texas, Minnesotan, “Southie” Boston, or Brooklyn accent, I suspect the reaction would have been different. Brits and Americans can, based on accent, make many (albeit often unfair or incorrect) assumptions regarding education and socioeconomic status, and they can do it even on transoceanic basis. Most Americans, even if they don’t know the history or geographic locality of a cockney accent, know that it denotes a lower-status than someone who sounds like “The Queen”. The same is true if you’re walking around London with an accent that sounds like Tony Soprano or Peter Griffin.
That said, it’s not nearly as “weaponized” in the US as it is in the UK. The English educationally institutionalized “Received Pronunciation” as a baseline method of verbally differentiating between classes. In the northeastern US, we had our own version of this briefly in the late 19th and early 20th century, which still lingers as the “generic” midlantic accent, but it was pale imitation of the English equivalent.
That said, this skit perfectly illustrates the absurdity of such behavior. I also happen think Northerner accents are quite lovely sounding.
@@smakfu1375 Brit’s love southern accents though
im an american whos never been outside north america and id like to say what the heck is a tube map? and you say you amuse yourself in the tube while waiting for the train? are you some kind of pervert? please explain

A quote from Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw-

I moved from Sunderland to Bournemouth for uni and you wouldn't believe how many times i smile at people on the street and see their fight or flight engage
i spent many happy years living in Sunderland surrounded by warm funny hard people, the collieries were still open back then and thats why i was there, christ I miss though days, my son was born there and is a permanent reminder of much happier days.
Hahha I have been this nanny ! My employer made me say "months" over and over again to her and her posh mates whilst laughing their heads off . Alongside questions such as " how many ponies have you got?" And " oh so your parents house is actually attached to someone else's?" Jeez hell of an experience for a 17 year old. I still have nightmares I have been sent back to work there and I am now 50 !!!,
What awful people. With luck they lost all their money and were forced into employment. Possibly a fairy godmother was involved.
that's just wrong
The way that some treat working class people is unbelievable. When I was around that age I was a waitress and I learned how horrible people can be to those who serve them. Workers can be rude too, of course, but it feels much worse when people whom you're trying to please treat you like garbage.
jeez
People like that are so awful. It sucks you had to endure that sort of degrading treatment.
I'm from Manchester originally and live in Yorkshire, Northern born and bred, and I love saying hello to people on the tube. The hatred that is returned is a pure delight. Once I was with a mate and he went absolutely ballistic after I'd said hello to someone in the Docklands Light Railway. It was so funny. Through clenched teeth he went bananas. Hilarious.
My mum's from London but we moved 'up north' a few years ago so she's mellowed out a lot. She tried saying hello to the bus driver when we went back to london and the look he gave her could have killed. Hilarious. She said she had forgotten how cold everybody is down south. Only took her a couple of years being up north for that to happen!
bloody southerner
The polarity is reversed here in the 'states. I'm from the mid-south (Kentucky) and once, fresh off the train in Boston, I moved to hold the door open (as a southerner does) for a couple entering a Burger King right behind me, and they flinched as if I were about to commit an assault.
I'm Australian, and my first few trips to the UK only covered London, and frankly I thought the UK was a truly awful place, full of absolutely dreadful people. But then later trips took me to Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow, and I realised that London was the problem, and the rest of the UK was full of fantastic, friendly people.
@@AlanCanon2222 Yes. Im Australian and I once gave up my seat on a bus for an elderly man in NYC. The bus went quiet and he refused the seat. It happened again when I thanked the driver.
Almost pissed myself when Catherine says she's from the North 😂 maybe as far as Sunderland lmao 🤣
As a visiting doctor , I worked for the NHS between 2004 and 2008 from the suburbs of Sheffield initially to Oxford and Cambridge deaneries later on . I loved every minute of my interaction with the people in Sheffield !! Felt like they were family ..... I mistook their genuine interaction as a sign that everyone in England were the same ! And then .... I headed more towards the south with work ! It was quite a shock initially but then , I knew how to get accustomed to their ways as well . In general , I loved every bit of England that I had seen .

As a foreigner who studied near Manchester for 4 years, people can immediately tell where I got my accent from. It´s hilarious when people expect you to have Eastern European accent, but you go Manchester on them. North is just great. I love how everybody is so friendly and chill.
There are so many nice touches to this sketch. Many have been mentioned by others but the packet of Alpen muesli on the table (nothing as common as corn flakes!) and the fact that they still presumably get their milk delivered in bottles were two things that amused me.
Northerners: yup, that's how it is
Southerners: Yes, that is how it is.
Scotland: Aye, stroo.
*Northerners: Yup thas 'ow i' is
I know its a joke but thats not how southerners talk
@@alecneate76 It is representative of RP. Obviously Eastenders are different and West Country accents are very different too.
The majority of the population in the North consider Southerners to be posh, rich and power hungry, Catherine Tate is playing on that absurd misrepresentation in this sketch. She is a Southerner, but not posh herself.
@@angrytedtalks i understand that but even most southerners do not speak rp. I'm from Hertfordshire which is seen as a posh and wealthy county but almost everyone I know speaks with a partly local, partly cockney accent. 100 years ago and most people in Hertfordshire would be speaking something like an East Anglian accent which can still be heard today, especially in older people. I do know some people that speak rp but they're often laughed at for it.
@@alecneate76 I completely agree. I live in Bucks, kids were schooled in Herts.
Catherine is playing to the Northerners to perpetuate the myth that Southerners are posh and fearful of over confident Northerners. I was born in Cornwall, learned to speak in Australia (very South) and lived in Leeds ("The North" - Johnny Vegas), Nottingham (Sue Pollard) and London (Bermondsey and Dulwich).
My accent is considered RP by many and "posh" by some. It is a mess in my opinion.

As an American Southerner, people in the north of England seem more friendly and open to me and more like what I'm accustomed to in behavior. I am used to strangers talking to me randomly and sometimes even asking me personal questions. I was in Newcastle and rural Northumberland and Cumbria last time I was in the U.K. The Geordie dialect's still challenging to me at times, but I think I'm getting better at understanding it.
Thats ironic because the Southern USA was settled by English Southerners , mostly Devon and Cornwall. The New England settlers were from Northeast England and the Midlands. There is no cultural connection.
@@MeadeSkeltonMusic That's probably true as to geographic origins for the different regions of the U.S. I haven't seen a lot of the West Country, so I am basing my reactions more on some parts of the southeast of England.
@@MeadeSkeltonMusic Is this true? I speak mostly East Texas with some S. Louisiana thrown in, having moved as a child (and never assimilated much with my peers in Oregon, lul). The way I say “say-yoh-th” for South, M- Mouth, etc., sounds like old working class London accent. Also many “Scotch-Irish” came over during Potato Famine in 1840s. Maybe Irish don’t count, though aren’t they originally Scots? I honestly do not know what makes folks more friendly, but I found plenty of helpful folks in the British South, as though it seemed everyone in the service industry should have been out doing something which involved no human contact, as ill-suited for it they were.
@@fritzkongi4708 There are many Southern accents, of course, but they have almost nothing to do with working class London accents. I would say the New York city accents sound more akin to Cockney , IMO. Virginia Tidewater came from the Southwest England and spread West to Texas- it is more like the West Country of England- very rural dialects. The Irish and Scots influenced the Upland South- definitely in Appalachia. The South was indeed influenced by London speech, but the on the Coast- Especially Virginia and the Carolinas it was upper Class London speech that influenced the plantation dialects ("r dropping" came in around the late 18th Century) , and the upland South mainly came from the Ulster Scots. Bill Clinton's Arkansas accent sounds very Ulster, IMO.
@@MeadeSkeltonMusic Not 100% true for all of the south. Large parts of the Appalachian region of the South were settled by Ulster Scots from Northern Ireland.

I once had to take a group of York students to London for an art exhibit, we got as far as the first tube station, me lining them up against the side wall to keep a count, before some toff in pin stripes had a total fit about us ‘out of control’ northerners being too numerous for his comfort, and it continued throughout the visit, posh women glaring at us clutching purses, posh men exploding at us to get out of the way, and when returning, after looking down the train, making sure everyone was safely onboard, I hopped on to the first carriage as the train started moving and had to walk through First Class to get to my carriage/seat, and they reacted as if it was a terrorist take over, wide eyed terrified looking grown men were leaping up out their seats, red faced with a combination of fear and outrage as I passed by, brandishing broadsheets at me like shields, and shouting for the guard.
On the plus side from then on I understood what the major problem with this country was.
I have came to uk about 20 years ago , completely stranger and head straight to Newcastle for couple of months than to Gateshead for another couple of months , than to the south until now , northern people absolutely fantastic and friendly People will never forget in my whole life . Love you northern .
I love how she pronouces Sunderland as Sunder Land
The attention to detail! They've even got a typically (super posh) London lock on the door! A Banham rim nightlatch.
On me meter of strong accents that Goerdie accent is still pretty low down.
That’s what makes the joke more ridiculous
... that's what makes it funny.
Yes but nobody wants Geordie Shore levels of Newcastle do they? Charlotte-piss-the-bed-Crosby is nightmare fuel to everyone not just to poshos lol
The nanny woman is actually geordie
@@karlsanderson8127 lol 😂
Living in the south for many years i changed my accent almost immediately, because southerners are terribly snobby about northerners. Even though in the north they are so friendly, kind and warm. I can't bare it, its a class system.
You even titled yourself Lady uh? That's really taking the high road there.
@@Berkhoi No it's not taking the high road to have a tittle at all, its ancestral and beautiful and tribal. Its part of European Culture. I do not see myself as higher than others at all.
@James Furey For me its ancestral and beautiful. Being titled does not mean rich by any means or being part of the house of lords.
your stretching it soooooo much further than it actually is lmao, i live in manny as a student half my mates are northern an none of this is a big deal or brought to attention
@@tm-pm1rp oh I'm talking 25 years ago when I went to live in the south lol
I grew up in London, my dad grew up in the north, when walking down the road if he saw someone walking past he’d always say “Hey” and ever time he’d get an awkward look or a nervous “Hi” back. Pretty much sums up the north vs south divide.
It would be the same in any northern city 😂
Hilarious, if it wasnt so accurate, some nannies have an awful time of it, especially during the pandemic. What I like is that the nanny is kind, friendly, level headed and the other three are clueless, insensitive, self entitled idiots who lack any empathy. Brilliant satire, that's needed back on our TVs👍👍👍✌️😄😄
As someone who comes from Newcastle!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SKETCH! It's also true! I went to Uni in London and people didn't understand a word!!!
Which is sad, because I'm American and I've got about 90% + of what she's saying. She lost me at specific breakfast foods. 😂
@@bast713 Cup of tea & biscuits mate....Milky Brew & Biccys
“I’m told Newcastle but it may even be as far as Sunderland” Newcastle is like fifteen miles north of Sunderland hahah
The way she said Sunder.....land. like it was a place out of Lord of the Rings lol
@@rivolinho Thats birmingham.
hehe yeah, I thought "hang on"...
Had to check though :D
That was the joke, that she had no idea of Northern geography. Went over your head, eh?
@@FFM0594 I doubt that. You’re giving BBC writers too much credit.
Lol Posh Family Drama 😂👏
I’m a Yorkshire man, my kids are growing up in Oxford. Once my kids said to my wife ‘can we have a daddy who talks like us’😂
Brilliant! Utterly marvelous stuff! She’s from the north!
0:35 "This......person" Love that long pause. As though someone from the north doesn't quite qualify as human.
Love it!! Same happens here, only in reverse. I swear, when I visit family in the North I am a “specimen”. The whole town stops and stares…anyhow, brilliant comedy as usual!!!
The kids acting is absolutely great.
Like the best comedy, more than a ring of truth in the narrative.
Try the Inbetweeners that's really good
New. Castle. maybe as far as Sunder Land 🤣
They've barely been to Totten Ham!
I’m from northern England and I know this is acting but the southern people In England immediately recognise where we’re from and joke abt it 😂😂❤❤
Good Chap, you appear to be located in the North of our great terrain. How very silly!
We southerners are civilized and speak in the proper tongue.
We kindly reject your kind for "greater" beings, if one does exist that is of course.
Good Irony how the nanny is so bright warm and friendly
Lol “what is she saying” 😂
I'm getting such a kick out of this. I have lived in NYC for the past 22 years.. from North Carolina and it's very interesting for me to see how the south views the north but in England.. never knew..;-)
I felt the same thing! I’m from New York and my parents moved to North Carolina. It’s the absolute reverse in this country.
Just add Wales and Scotland and stand well back!!!!!
It's reversed here. The way the North views the South in the USA is how the South views the North in the UK 😂
Also in the North UK the accents are nicer whereas in the US the southern accents are so much nicer
As someone from Northern England its not quiet the same
0:43 lol look at this kid looool!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The thing they get wrong is how well behaved and respectful the children are.
BRILLIANT. They should also do one in reverse.. for when northerners get a southern Nanny :)
Somethings are just too far fetched
I don't think that would work!
Why would they need one? They have family.
@@johnflannery6763 Not too far fetched but too risky for sure. Northerners can't laugh at themselves, as u just proved :)
@@richardamner7432 It would! I've seen a lot of anti-southerner prejudice in Manchester.
The way she says Sunderland is gold 😂
As an American I have absolutely zero context for this but I still kills me every time I watch it
Clarkson's Farm Season 3 reminded me of this; Kaleb being down in London with Charlie, and trying to say "goodmorning" to strangers on the street 🤣
Funnily enough, Sunderland is closer to the South than Newcastle is (just), so the mother doesn't really know her geography. I guess it's all the North. :P
i think that's part of the joke??
That's the point.
@Shane Gallagher Yeah, but she says 'even as far as Sunderland', implying Sunderland's further away than Newcastle. That's what I was getting at. So yes, the joke is it's all 'the North' to her and she hasn't got a clue.
Anything north of London is "The North"
The North is the North. It's all the same place.
I live in the south of England, I find Northerners really friendly. This is hilarious
My Mam was from there too! Which part of County Durham is it?
#
There's a sketch about a northerner getting off the train at King's Cross and going around London saying "hello" to people.
That’s funny because northerners way of saying “hello”
Is “you alright? “ lol. I dont ever hear northerners say “hello” lol
@@christina7215 As a Northerner that's limited to the over 50s . Hi or Hiya os used largely in the under 50s .
@@ShireGeordie my cousins in County Durham it was friendly when I visited from the south with family
We are not snobby at all in Surrey. Only last weekend I asked my two children, Tobias and India, whether they would like an adventure holiday in Leeds. Apparently Leeds has a Harvey Nicholls, so it would be a gentler introduction to the North rather than jumping in at the deep end.
Gosh! Leeds has a Harvey Nicks? I'm quite shocked
@@hopebgoodi knew a bloke from Bradford called Harvey and he got Nicked if that helps🤔
The thing is this is real. I grew up in the south, then moved up north for 7 years of my teens and then moved back south on my own. I aspire to move back to the north to be honest. Since coming back you realise how snobby it is. I just miss people being honest about themselves and with you. Makes your day better being able to say hello to everyone. I miss having neighbours I'd have a chat with. I don't even know the names of my neighbours down here. Feel sorry for elderly people too, seem to go to pot down here. Don't get looked out for the same way if they don't have local family.
Lived and worked in that there London for a number of years. Never again. Very strange people and the City was filthy. Was glad to get back to normality in the northwest.
"...a milky brew"? Omigods, we ARE going to die!
They're probably bloody vegans.
And yes, before I get any hate, I am a vegan myself. But let's be honest, most of them, like most Guardian readers (and of all the papers, The Guardian is the only one I ever read), are utter w*nk*rs.
In another episode, the mum said she had sea bass on the griddle and in another, they panicked because daddy couldn't find any brie cheese 🤣
@@GregOrCreg I’m a vegan, and I hate 99.9% of other vegans too.
@@Autumn_Forest_ Yeah, a lot of us are w*nk*rs.
Good to listen to classic BBC English from time to time 😁
Funny thing, we have the same stigma in France and that's in French too! 😂
Call me sentimental, but what makes this sketch work is the bond of love these characters have - this is what makes it believable that they would have zero self-awareness, because they are surrounded by people who agree and accept them. Basically my point is that a healthy family dynamic can make you weird.
A psychologist once concluded that the healthiest family dynamic in TV was in The Addams Family.
@@zacmumblethunder7466 well hes right
Are we watching the same clip or do you have brain damage?
I love most how the nanny looks as if she's experienced this reaction a hundred times before.
Absolutely hysterical!
Thank God she's not from Hemel Hempstead . 😂
Even the notion!!!
