Liverpool amongst UK's friendliest
Source: Grantham Journal
People in Liverpool have been voted amongst the UK's most friendly in a survey of 14 cities.
The north-west cities came second and fifth respectively in the list of the UK's most hospitable places in the study by travel company Wimdu.
Voters said Liverpool was one of the least expensive places, coming in 11th position, with 91% of UK residents who took part in the poll naming southern cities as the priciest.
The south was, however, voted the hub of culture in the UK by over half of Brits, with a score of 52%.
Northern cities received 40% of the culture vote, while London was voted as the hub of UK culture with 39% of the vote.
Meanwhile, Liverpool - 2008's European 'Capital of Culture' - was voted the UK's fourth most cultured city, while Manchester took seventh place.
Cardiff, which was 2008's 'Centre of Culture' was seen as one of the most uncultured cities, and received only 1% of the vote. Newcastle, Leeds and Southampton came at the bottom of the most-cultured list.
Wimdu UK's CEO, Michael Riegel, said: "There is a clear dotted line dividing the nation. The results show that the north south divide is not our imagination, but it's stronger than ever.
"Britons instinctively head to the north for fun and friends and the south for culture so when you're choosing a city for your weekend break this autumn, you should decide what is most important to you then choose your destination."
The travel company's survey was filled in online by 2,143 British adults, who were asked what they thought of 14 UK city break destinations.
