Even though we are all part of the UK some of us can't stop believing those who live an hour's drive away are an entirely different.
These thoughts are unlikely to be changed by a new book, A Tourist's Guide to the British, which makes fun at the whining Brummie, the Scouse scally and East End spiv.
The writer of the book is Simon Henry, a Londoner who now lives in Bradford.
He has called on people to have a sense of humour about his regional caricatures.
