bodleing2: You might be right. The quote comes from Geoffrey, Jo's gay friend and soul mate. The part was played by Murray Melvin who was born in central London. I think he was playing the part of a Northener in the film but I can't be sure, it's a long time since I've seen it.
Great quote from an old classic film though.
We have a bit of an anomaly here, too. Many of our cowboys, born and reared on rural Oregon ranches, talk with a southern “drawl” particular to Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, etc... and they’ve never been farther than the Snake River gorge! Go figure...guess cowboys just talk like cowboys..

I don't think so. It was one of a gendre of classic black and white British films, Saturday Night and Sunday Morning starring Albert Finney being another. Usually a portrayal of life as it was, warts and all.

Anyway, I've found a short clip from a Taste of Honey with Geoffrey and Jo containg the quote you posted. Geoffrey is definitely talking with a Northern accent.
This scene was shot in Stockport town centre about a mile from where I live.

TheDino1: Nice one Rohaan, I like that one..
just had to get back to you about “A Taste of Honey”—with a little help from Bodeling, here is the exact exchange between the two characters (I was slightly off..)

Geoffrey: “Do you like me more than you don’t like me, or do you not like me more than you do?
Jo: “Now you’re being Irish!”
