Wullie Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Aye Go on then, explain. Are you just saying that anything south of Newcastle is classed as South? York is the cut off point. Used to be Northallerton but I like York so I moved it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to be Northallerton but I like York so I moved it. Actually, geographically you're about right. Get a map of the country, find the most northern point of England. Write down the approximate latitude. Do the same for the most southern point of England. Use this to divide the country into 3 equal sections, and you'll find the dividing line between the north and the midlands runs between York and Leeds. Humorously enough, Manchester is closer to Wales than it is to the north. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about Cheshire then or am I classed as a Southern fairy?! Cheshire is below York, so it's firmly in the midlands. Unlucky. Sheargol - It's universally accepted that there's such a place as the midlands and geographically, Leeds and Scunthorpe are in it. York and above for the north, I'm afraid. If you don't like that, move house! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1878 Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Cheshire is not in the midlands at all, it's the north west. You don't just divide a map into equal segments with straight lines, that's not the way it works. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gbolem Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Ipswich boss Jim Magilton is poised to break his transfer record by some distance after Newcastle accepted a £3.5 million offer for out-of-favour striker Shola Ameobi.
