The NORTH??? You think Blackpool is in the north???
Gets out map of GB to check orientation... nope.. HUNDREDS more miles north of Blackpool (in fact more north than south!)
smile :)
Am sure that Caul was right! it is "North" for the World champians! yes?
It's the North of the civilised bit anyway wink

It's rather obvious Jags that a lot of people never listened to Geography Lessons at school. I even heard a BBC Radio 4 announcer stating "We are now going to our studio in the far north" the other day. Where was it? In Manchester, good grief. Even the Beeb can't get it right these days.
For those ignorant peasants in the south of England let me remind you that it was from Northumberland that England was dragged out of the Dark Ages, Christianity in Britain originated here and so did beautiful works of art (Lindisfarne Gospels etc). Later came the inventors of the Electric Light Bulb, (Swann), The first successful railway locomotive and railways (Stephenson) Hydro-electric generators and steam turbines (Parson) The first accurate rifled breach loading artillery (Armstrong) The first steam turbine powered ships (Armstrong and Parsons) All these were invented on Tyneside. The Oldest Natural History Society was founded in Newcastle, in 1829. The oldest Aero Club in Britain is the Newcastle Aero Club. I could go on but I think that's enough.
The rest of Britain owes a hell of a lot to the North of England, and contrary to popular opinion it does not start at Watford Gap. Manchester and Blackpool are in the midlands as far as I am concerned. To a true northener the Midlands starts at the River Tees and goes south from there,
The south of England are those counties south of London.
Rant over.

A true northener and proud of it.
I am so glad you used the writtem word and not voice to tell us all that Harry otherwise I would not have understood a bloody word of it!

Hope you are well now, my friend, and looking forwards to the festivities - even though you are in the north! lol :lol:
redface surprisedops: :oops:
Well, I would have said I was a Northerner (and proud of it), even though I live about 30 miles South of Blackpool (roughly, my Geography is crap - OK, I was one of those that never listened! :mrgreen: ). I suppose if you were looking at Blackpool in relation to the whole of the UK it would be somewhere in the middle, but it is officially the North West of England, therefore I guess you're all right.
I don't care where Blackppol is provided they keep on making pink rock - hmmmmmmmmm lol
Harry, I must say you have an impressive knowledge of history worship
Harry is correct.. AND there is another posting somewhere on the forum in which DJohn says (correctly) that Haltwhistle is officially the middle of Britain, and that's left and up a bit from Newcastle.
So, let's have less of 'up north' being Blackpool... (peers over rim of glasses at assembled forum readers)
smile :)

1. You asked for it by saying 'the north
2. Blackpool is not north - it's just up a bit from Watford, not the same thing
3. Don't know!
