replying to simmo, the North starts at Sheffield or Liverpool/Manchester, depending which side of the pennines you are on (the east or the wrong). I've got a theory that the reason people are so violent in Nottingham is because of insecurities about not quite being "North". Once you get into Yorkshire, people don't have anything to prove anymore.

I loll-ed, I loll-ed indeed.

Everyone come to London and buy up our really cheap property! Bargains abound!

I always thought the north was anything above the river Thames.

Hoxton is sooooo twenneth, bred.

Simmo - anything north of Nottingham is proper Northern. I judge it on the incomprehensibility of the accents and the relative popularity of Coronation Street.

Wow, you're way the hell up there, Tommy!

That would make a lovely Spend you holidays in Peterhead tourist ad campaign poster.
