Daily Mail
It's no longer grim up North – There's no such thing as the North South divide. The Lonely Planet guide says a dynamic development has transformed the North of England. The Lonely Planet guide to Great Britain says Manchester is 'one of Britain's most exciting and interesting cities', Newcastle has displayed 'miraculous powers of urban regeneration' and Leeds is the 'Knightsbridge of the North'. It also adds Liverpool had done a wonderful job in throwing off its 'largely ridiculousreputation'.

The guide also admires the British- generally describing them as 'uninhibited, passionate, aggressive, sentimental, hospitable and friendly. It hits you like a breath of fresh air'.
