North, South or Midlands?

[DiamondsR4ever]

I got told at Uni that anything North of the river Trent was Northern and anything to the South Southern (i now regret not listening to the rest of what the lecturer had to say as i probably would have been able to give you all a reason why..)

From living in Bournemouth for a year and living with Uni students from london the following statement was made to myself by one of them when discussing this very Topic ...

" Ur Northern as anything from watford on-ward simply say's on the road signs The North "

Gotta love Uni logic

I've heard anything south of Manchester is the south :lol:

There you go then its sorted anything south of Manchester and north of the Watford can be deemed the midlands

This is much easier in Ireland, where we have borders for this sort of thing ;)

Your banter about who's Northern and who's Southern extends waaaay beyond songs though. ;)

The middle of england is actually around 50 miles north, i tried doing some calculations doing google earth and it came out that if i divided the length of england by 3 we are about 5 miles to far north to be in the south.
