TAAT. Where does the north end?

[ArseInTheCoOpWindow]

Where?

Sheffield? Birmingham? Below the Humber, Lincolnshire?????

I live in Sheffield. I think we are bottom of the North. Nottingham and Derbyshire which touch on us are Midlands.

Manchester is north but is Cheshire?

So did I. And we are definitely Northern, lol. Weird

I went to Chillingham.

It was well named🥶

Or if I go with what my heart tells me .

And anything below Worcester, Northampton, Cambridge (roughly) is the South.

I live in Brighton, and I put Peterborough, that's where you hear the accent change.

I agree OP. The north ends at Sheffield. The South starts at Milton Keynes. And the bit between Sheffield & MK is the Midlands, which is where I live.

People are making a random judgement relative to where they live, I think.
That's not how it works.

And, yes, Birmingham being in the actual West Midlands is a bit of a clue that it's not in the north. Nowhere near, in fact.

Does my pips in when people who are not northern claim to be northern. Just because you live a mile north of the M25 does not make you northern 🤨

What's with the oooop thing? I just don't get it.

I’m with this map 👆🏻…. Oh and Manc is deffo not midlands 🥴

Yes my sisters have been on Brighton years and they are proper southern and I have a very northern accent compared to them..I'm actually from Lincolnshire but I live in North notts right on the border of South yorkshire and they deffo have a northern twang here. I also have friends in Peterborough and even they sound a bit southern lol

If we're expected to struggle to survive harsh Newcastle winters, we at least want some recognition and respect for this 'cos gannen oot clubbin' in ya undies is no mean feat!

I think Stoke-on-Trent is the demarcation. Staffordshire in general, it's sort of half Midlands, half north.

Derby/Nottingham/Wolverhampton/Leicester etc are north of Birmingham but are Midlands cities.

Where does the is north end?

Preston.

It's a misrepresentation of the word 'up' spoken in a northern accent.

Unless you say hoop and cup to rhyme with each other, it's plain daft.

Lincoln is definitely not in the North.

Anything above Birmingham is north.

The North starts at Crewe. Stuart Maconie says so, so it must be true.

Also, I'm from Crewe and you can't tell me I'm not a Northerner as that's fighting talk where I come from

Mind you, everything is fighting talk where I come from, as I'm from Crewe.

Thankyou, I thought it was me going mad.

It always pisses me off because it feels so lazy and inaccurate.

Also to add. I live in the West Midlands and still think that anything north of Birmingham is north.

My auntie used to say luke instead of look. She was from Sheffield.

Which is definitely in The North 😁

I did say this earlier on on the thread and was thinking of Stewart Maconie 😊

It's definitely Crewe 🤷🏻‍♀️😁

Using the A1 as a guide I’d say Doncaster is where i consider myself north, anywhere with Yorkshire attached to it is north to me.

To the Midlands perhaps- not to the North.
