Below I have briefly identified a range of different regional identities.
- 'londoners'
- for this region there are two main stereotypes, one is that they are portrayed as being wealthy, posh, snobby and upper class from central or West London. However, there is also people that live in North East or South London and these people are portrayed as being poor common, lower class, criminals and violent.
- Manchester / Newcastle / Liverpool – Oftenshown as being “chavs”, wearing fake designer labels, or tracksuits, drinking a lot, being aggressive, uneducated, criminals
- Yorkshire – Often shown as living in rural countryside, with rolling hills and cobbled streets, being quite old fashioned
- South England – often shown as being the centre of culture, modern, classy, clever, sunny, richer,doing middle class jobs such as managers etc
- North England – often shown as beingpoorer, bad weather, lower class, aggressive, lessculture, less clever, doing working class jobs suchas builders etc
- Irish – often shown as living in the countryside,working in rural areas such as farms, being veryreligious, being good at dancing and singing, veryfriendly but less intelligent
