Regional identity research

Regional identity can range between what you sound like to your overall appearance. As well as this what you like and how you act can also be considered.

Northerners: much more brash and strong accent, vowels are deeper and you are shown not to pronounce words correctly
Stereotypically working class with sometimes being much nicer and friendly but also rude and hot tempered, these are considered more of a community than those down south

Southerners: stuck up, posh accents, rude snobbish tendencies, live in cities, busy upper class workaholics etc. Dress sense much more stylish and up do date

Country: strong farmer accent, working class comfy clothing

The most used regional idenitities consist of
 scottish: loud, angry, ginger and pale look
irish: again pale, stong accent, possibly traveller persona etc
english: snobby, obsessed with beer and football, slightly racist
welsh: dumb, not fully aware of whats happening everywhere else. often shown to be living the middle of the countryside.
Londener: cocky accent, rough and tough. criminal eastender persona/ posh, uipper class hugh granyt characater stereotype.
Yorkshire: olf fahsioned and quiet, friendly. cobbled streets and hilly.
Lanchasire, Liverpool, Manchester etc: chav, poor fashion, fake designer clothing. Drunk or involved with drugs overall not a good persona of people.
