You haven't even listed all the regions hmm, wonder what http://www.northeastengland.co.uk// think? Or http://www.englandsnortheast.co.uk/? or http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/england/regions for that matter? Hmmm. please log in to view this image
You could have London too but I don't see the need for that to be separate from the rest of the SE. You can post all the cool gifs you want though. They impress me a great deal and are always a lot more interesting than the points you make. As for the links, cool researching but once again, not really arsed. I'm well aware the North-East can have a variety of definitions.
Sorry to inform you but I didn't use it to impress you, . It was entirely for my own amusement, good work second guessing there. I don't care if you don't feel the need to be separate, that's not what this is about, it's about you getting you geography wrong and when being informed so, instead of saying i stand corrected and taking in your new found information, you turn it into three pages of arguing the toss as you won't be told. See post 293 of how easy it is to acknowledge when you have got something wrong, no matter how slight it was. I've now learnt the bow bells is situated around the east/central London area without a hint of hassle. Dead easy if you're not a dickhead about being educated by somebody who's in a better position to inform you.
I'm glad you can take some sort of smugness from it. As ever, not arsed by this most mundane of topics which seems to matter to you for some reason. I stand by the point that Hull and Sunderland are similar places full of similar people in a similar part of the country.
East Yorkshire grim? It is a fairly sparsely populated area full of green fields, market towns, the largest bay on the East Coast, the second highest cliffs in the country renowned for its bird colonies. Which is why a lot of people retire there. Something they wouldn't chose to do in Watford.
What's different about them? Both pretty dull, grim towns which people will move away from if they have a semblance of ability. Both in the North. Both in the East. They should probably merge the football teams.
So despite more education do you still stand by your comments? How much education would it take. Like I said. Ignorant.
I've had however many years of school and four years of an Economics degree. That's enough education for me without some sad act thinking he's educating anyone by posting links from the first page of a Google search.
Why would I continue to try and educate you. You've proved to be nothing but an ignorant closed book. I'd rather continue to take the piss out of you.
And a fine job you're doing of it too, clearly. Ignorance is not having knowledge or information. I've got both those things, partly thanks to all those links you lovingly provided me with and come to the conclusion that there is more than one definition of the North-East. Distance is important, to some extent, but no more so than culture or demographics.
Oh yes, of course you have all the knowledge and information in the world and have no resistance what so ever to some that you may have missed
I suppose you vote Labour. An ever-dwindling breed and probably soon to be dead altogether if Corbyn gets in. For the record, I've been a Tory voter in the past but didn't vote in the last election. My area is too safely Tory and the voting system makes it a bit pointless. Is it necessary to be Tory to go to school and/or get an Economics degree?
I'm not resisting it. I had a quick look at all the links you provided. All equally mundane and not really answering the points I made.
I vote for whoever's manifesto best suits my personal circumstances and best represents my social moral backbone. I didn't vote last time, this time I voted Labour because it was the best chance possible of getting the Tories out after seeing my elderly isolated neighbour plunged into 3rd world poverty despite working her fingers to the bone her entire life. If the Tories weren't so ****ing evil I wouldn't have voted as everybody was weak.
