    ... now now ... don't tempt me <grr> ... I might just morph into HAG (absent less than impressive trouser luggage) and embark on a meandering sojurn of stats, maps, rumours, mis-quotes and dubious fabric stains to convince everyone (OK perhaps just me) that the times they are indeed 'a changing' <laugh>

    Stoke is classed as being in the Midlands and must therefore be at the Northern apex ... in terms of South Midlands I played a bit of footie myself in the South Midlands League ... seemed to cover Beds, Bucks, Herts and Oxfordshire - none of which I had previously considered as being in the midlands ...

    Northampton and MK Dons are often mentioned as midlands teams - so i would presume that they represent the Southern extremities in terms of league football ...

    Further information is available from Google Maps <laugh>

    Is there a midmidlands?


    Useless fact you didn't want to know: the center of South Carolina is also called "The Midlands". We have the coast, the Pee-Dee, the Midlands and the Piedmont.

    The Midlands is the ugliest part of the state.

    I played footy in a West Midlands Inter Service league (which we won), I was based in North Wales at the time. A bit like Swansea in the PL.

    Stoke is North Midlands and Gloucester is South Midlands.

    I live just south of central Midlands, far enough

    Fixed <ok>

    How is that possible? Has plate tectonics caused Milton Keynes to move East 100+ miles since I left England?

    In 100 years Milton Keynes will be in Poland.

    Well I do know that Milton Keynes was once part of Wales... So the whole traveling east thing has merit.

    I know it used to be part of Wales because our resident Welsh gentleman said this:

    England is just the **** part of Wales that we don't talk about.
