    Well you seem to be at pains to educate me about them. Having been to both they're both pretty awful, in roughly the same part of the country unless you want to segment it to the point of the East Riding of Yorkshire being its own region and just a bit grim. I doubt anyone down South really cares in the same way I doubt you care how close Yeovil and Ilfracombe are, which incidentally I couldn't care less about either. With a bit of luck I'll be out of this country before I'm 30.

    It's what you've projected but having said you've traveled this country it's clear you're just ignorant. After all you've just grouped two small cities over 130miles away as in the same are just because they've suffered a lack of investment. So I sorry for the idiot remarks. <ok><laugh>

    Maybe but I would have given anything to have visited Stoke while the Golden Touch was open. To be a part of a special movement, to be part of escapism which defied the decay of an area to pull visitors from all over the country

    I never said either were nice places. Not like the concrete jungle. Sunderland and hull have a national park between them. Go and take a look, bring waterproofs.

    No because there's no cross river rivalry anywhere in london is there. London isn't full of people who are borough proud and who resent any confusion or correct any confusion is there? <doh>

    You tell me. Would be a bit ******ed if I called someone from Sunderland or Hull a Geordie and people for some reason don't like being referred to as cockneys. I don't know anyone who is "borough proud". No one really gives a **** about their borough.

    A geordie refers to more than just Newcastle and has no strict geographical definition.

    You miss the sacrastic irony in my postings. I know Cockney's are within the sounds of the bell, I'd have to look up the name of the Church. But i know it's limited to only a small area of central Lond.

    There are plenty of people for Sunderland who call themselves Geordie and proud. You're heading into an area you can't even comprehend.

    It is Bow bells and it's East London.

    You're sort of both right. It's St Mary-le-bow Church and it's on Cheapside in EC2.

    Sorry, East London. Please excuse my ignorance, though it's not quite thinking two cities who are a 120 odd mile away being in the same region. :)

    I'm not really arsed. I doubt anyone outside the area is.

    I'm glad you're not arsed, proves my ignorance theory plus I don't have to explain it. It's win win for me. <ok>:)

    Being not arsed doesn't equate to being ignorant. You've decided I'm ignorant for lumping Hull in with the North-East when all I'm guilty of is not segmenting the country as minutely as you. Really you've just been a bit of a pedant.

    No, I've been correct. England is approximately 398 miles from north to south, you've pigeon holed over one quarter of that length as being the same place <ok>

    There are five regions if we look at the country as top line as possible- NW, NE, SW, SE and Midlands. The term 'North-East' doesn't just have to be your definition of it.
