    Are you north or south of umea igor?

    I think you take the title of the most northern based person on this bored while one of the aussies in the southern most part of the country will take the southern title.

    As far as I know, Im the most southern whos based in England.

    I beg to differ my lovely Fin. Pori is only 61,5 degrees north while where I come, Tromsø is 69,6 degrees north. That is 3 degrees north of the Polarcircle mate :)

    But we share much of the same climate. When we cross the border into Finland where I come from we come to a place called Kilpisjärvi I think. Heard of it?

    I think New Zealand is further South than Australia. So Kiwi is probably the furthest Southern not606'er.

    As the chant goes, "You're so far south, you're practically French".

    I got 67% I think it was, which put me in Doncaster. Quite level with Hull, probably all the time I spend in Donny waiting for trains dragged me down that tiny amount.

    I believe umeå is a bit more north ound than Pori. Same goes with tromså norway but i believe i will be in top five in northbound list. Bully boy you are probably the most southern englander of the QPR people here. From those who live in england that is....

    Pie Barm, rather than Barn.

    You'll like this, it's a pie, but served in a bread cake.

    "43% northern
    That's somewhere around Wolverhampton."

    This whole thing is a crock of crap.
    I live on the northern Gold Coast, Australia .................................... I can tell you I'm nowhere near Derek Dugan Town.
    The only thing I have in common with the Doogs' is the handle bar moustache.

    Calling me an aussie is an even bigger insult than me not knowing that NZ is further south than australia.

    Ive got a mate who lives there and does triathlon, hes a brave guy going in that water!

    I think the only people who would be more south than me are Devon, Cornwall, IOW and the channel islands as well as west of me right on the coast.

    Proud to be Jersey as my experiences over 20 years fishing in Ireland with anglers from the north west of England was that I found too many Dinosaurs
    The Irish on the other hand same latitude possibly the best people I have met worldwide .

    The northerners attitude to us from the south over my time was laughable we are all ****s or soft and the attitude towards women I found disgraceful

    Make no mistake I know there are very bad people in the south worse than any people in this grubby little island
    but a north south divide still exists IMO

    I work with managers from the north now who when they choose to act northern they revert back to exactly the same culture ... Before switching back to a facade of southern mentality

    It exists in France and Italy too

    The south hate the rich north there and the north think the Southend are in general peasants
