What are the main cultural differences between North and South England?
I think there are differences between the North and the South of England. I think what you find in the South of England is it’s in a way much more American, friendly enough, it’s a bit relatively speaking, it’s more transactional, and less personal than it is in the North of England, where people want to get to know you, know a little bit more about you. You’re interesting, and then let’s go down to the pub, and actually do a deal then, but I want to get to know you. And I think in the South, it’s taken on some of the American tendencies, maybe in part because there are so many American companies in the city of London and the South East. Generally that could be, but certainly the American business culture feels like it’s more present in the South, because in part of that transactional way of working.
