I would say that the north of England is more direct (blunt) speaking than the South, presumably due to a greater influence of the Norse occupation in the Viking era

Why do British people love dim yellow lights in their homes?

Posted by drtrivagabond@reddit | AskUK | View on Reddit | 1919 comments

Not all of us like the yellow light - but the ones that do will moan about bright lights or "supermarket lighting" as if no-one else in the world has a valid opinion One day I think a study will find that people have different reactions to light and not everyone feels the same - but some people moan more than others

I have worked in an office where we would take occasional payments from customers on Amex, and I developed a dislike of them. The % they charge the merchant is about double what other cards would charge. Also their payment to us of money collected was done in a way that always made it hard to reconcile to original purchases, so it wasted extra admin time. And their support for merchants is not as good as it is for cardholders - even though they are making more money of us than they are off you.
