North North east North of River Tees North Tees down to Leeds M62 Midlands M62 down to South of Brum South is South of Brum to River Thames Deep South is Thames to South coast
I guess I see people from the Lothians, Roxburghsire and the rest of the eastern borders as Northern English people who have suffered centuries of Irish propaganda rendering them convinced they're infact Scotti.
Always thought Watford Gap was the start of the North of England if you lived in the Home Counties or were a minister in whatever government was in power.
No-one from Wakefield would ever say they were from the Midlands ... ... no-one from Coventry would accept they're Southeners.
Would agree mate, living in Wakefield, made in Sunderland Driving to the match always feels like coming home.
There's plenty of people in Sheffield who claim to be northerners - mainly because none of them want to admit to being midlanders. My missus is from Leeds and to wind her up I say that the north starts at Wetherby and that the entirety of the M62 corridor is in the midlands.
Me too spirit. I actually live in Kirklees but I'm closer to Wakefield than Huddersfield. Although I haven't lived in Sunderland since I was a babe in Arms, i's still always been home to me.
An approximate line between Bristol and Great Yarmouth is the border between south and midlands to me. Border between Chester, through Lincon and to Skeggy is midland to north. That has always been my view.
It's never bothered me much, though when I was travelling around I got the impression that Midlandish sort of people and anyone South of there would say "Up North". I'd say the North was north of the Tees, and south of Arab occupied territory above The Tyne river, though of course, many of our supporters live there!
some of them have not been further north than Watford i reckon, the new Wembley should have been built near Derby i say, proper transport set up etc too far for your southerners up to travel, London worst place for traffic in Britain as well. in the EFL cup Wolves were north as well as Leicester yet Norwich is further up but they are South surely. Berwick English but play in Scotland for some reason.
