What do you consider to be "The North"? (lemmy.world)

I love asking UK, especially English, people this question; the answers vary wildly. Once had a Londoner describe the north as "anywhere north of the M25".

So, lemmings, where is 'the north' to you?

I mean, London's a big city but I've never heard any Londoner say this in all my life living there. It's always been "comedians" usually Northern ones as a cheeky insult to Londoners: "Oh look they don't even know geography". Which, to be fair, we probably don't.

Personally I'd say anything North of Sheffield is da Naaarth. Roughly anything above Wales.

This would mean that Liverpool isn't in the North, and Manchester just barely squeaks by (though most of Manchester is at or below Sheffield Latitude). They all dance around 53.3-53.5^o Lat.

Roughly my friend, roughly.
