    Geordies are the politest

    Brummies are Britain's rudest

    Brummies are the rudest people in Britain, a survey has revealed.

    Geordies are the politest, closely followed by Scousers.

    Researchers went undercover to measure the civility of residents in eight cities around the country, subjecting them to a series of "courtesy tests".

    They checked whether shop assistants said please and thank you, and whether people going into public buildings held the door for those behind them.

    Drivers were observed to see if they thanked those who let them into rush-hour traffic from side roads, while passers by were assessed for their willingness to stop and help someone who had dropped their shopping.

    The research for Readers Digest magazine found that Britons overall were polite 59% of the time, but that in Newcastle the figure was 77%.

    Liverpool came second with 70%, while Birmingham came bottom with residents managing common courtesy on just 43% of occasions.

    The other cities tested were Exeter, Cardiff, London, Southampton and Edinburgh.

    The north emerged as politer than the south in the tests, each of which was carried out ten times in each city.

    I wouldnt say Geordies were the politest people.

    Its a wierd one since you get some really nice and friendly people in clubs (for obvious reasons) ...... but outside of that i wouldnt say we were necessarily a nice bunch of people. Some of the most arrogant people you will ever get are in newcastle bars 'thinking' they are it.
