If you're Northern how ignorant are you about the South?

I'm terrible sometimes. Today was talking to dh about a local football team who are playing Swindon. I actually thought that was near London. Always have. I seem to have a block about southern geography. I know where London is obviously 😂 I've been a few times. Hate it though. I only went for events etc.

You say this about the north but it equally applies to south countryside/coast

Absolutely, but it applies to the countryside and coast everywhere. You rather expect it in rural areas - it comes with the territory.

But in the North we're talking major cities where transport links are broken, or which never worked in the first place. Leeds to Manchester should be easy; like Brighton to London is. It's a similar distance.

But there's half the number of trains; the journey takes far longer, and one of the lines has been a rail replacement bus for several weeks.

Excellent post
