25 Jan 2005

Hi All,
After been heer for just over 2 months now, I was intrested to know the North South devide on ppl from SH.
Now from my previous experiance from other sites that members tend to be from the north. For those that is higher in laditude than the watford gap.
I have put UNSURE because I know some witty person will ask where the watford gap is.!!! wink

Ah, you poor uneducated BBC listener you, believe me, the Watford Gap does not delineate between the north of England and the south of England.
There used to be a sign at Watford Gap, at the side of the A1(M) which displayed a vertical arrow and the words To The North. That does not mean the north begins on the other side of the Watford Gap.
As far as true northerners are concerned, the north begins at the Yorkshire/Durham border and only includes the counties of Durham and Northumberland, some 3,000 square miles in area.
I realise that some members who live in the Manchester area think they live in the northwest, well they must be northwest of somewhere, I suppose. :shock:
I see from your profile you seem to be of no fixed abode, which would tend to indicate you have little idea of where you yourself are. :cry:
The BBC is directly responsible for the poor lack of geographical knowledge of the populace of this country. Apparently they use a map drawn up at the time of William the Conquerer's Doomsday Book. The writers of this catalogue of the wealth and value of England never got further north than Yorkshire thus missing the two true northern counties. I admit the BBC has heard of Scotland, but only because the Queen goes there on holiday occasionally.
It never ceases to amuse me then I hear a London based BBC announcer say:- "We are now going to our studio in the far north at Manchester". ROTFPML.
Should you wish to divide up England into separate regions then the North is as stated above. The midlands extends from the north Yorkshire boundary to London and the south is any lands south of the Thames.

If there are so many southerners here, why are there so many posting from up north. I always thought they were in the majority. What was that about southerners shouting so much Venus?? lol

Havta say, this thread makes a nice change from the usual `who is best`, like a generalisation makes a difference to the individuals here, however, there ismore action up North, (at least as far as Swinging goes, I *think* dogging is quite popular down here), is it possible to work out why without making sweeping generalisations that Southerners are prudes....or are they, and the ones here are merely exceptions to that rule?

With the price of property in the "South" and the price of property in the "North", I guess I'm a Northerner........

Well, I usually start spouting Scottish ancestry at this point, but as recent investigations have revealed that my previously unblemished family line may actually turn out to be a curious mixture of French/Irish (which is a combination too scary to think about) - I have decided to stick with being a Southern Fairy. biggrin

Perhaps if your origins are northern, and you currently live down south, you are a southern monkey
and if your origins are southern, and you have moved up north, you are a northern fairy.
or vice versa confused

Well I`m about as Southern as they come. Anymore south and I`d have to swim, and I can trace my family back to the beginning of the eighteenth century by the way of just two village parish records (hence the six fingers)
