Yorkie Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Oh, and why the hell York & Carlisle are in NE? Can't speak for Carlisle but i'd regard York as North East. In the grand scheme of things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Carlise is like 10 miles from the west coast, how the hell can anyone consider it NE? south of York is very much where the North East ends I reckon.

Everything just feels 'different' south of there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't even get a passing mention on any of our sports shows (save FSC). We need this board more than you do, I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Oh, and why the hell York & Carlisle are in NE? Can't speak for Carlisle but i'd regard York as North East. In the grand scheme of things. You wouldn't find many of the citizens of York would agree with you - they are Yorkshiremen first & foremost., although not in the same way as, say, Leeds people are(people from W.Yorks brag about it more). To me, the North East probably ends at Scotch Corner in the south, Bowes in the west, and Berwick in the north. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
manorpark Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Can't speak for Carlisle but i'd regard York as North East. In the grand scheme of things. Carlisle should be North West I would have thought. Carlisle has always been a sort of 'honourary' part of the North East, because it gets its Regional BBC programmes from Newcastle, so it gets the 'Newcastle version' of the news, rather than (say) Manchester's. Have you noticed the BBC announcing . . . "In the North East & Cumbria" ? Geographically, it is of course in the Wild West! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
manorpark Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Newcastle Whereabouts in Newcastle? Are you from Walker perhaps . . . ? Nope, Gosforth Same as me, good old 'Newcastle 3' - the best part of Newcastle. Though I was brought up (dragged up through a holly bush) in Newcastle 4 (Elswick) and also Newcastle 2 (Jesmond).
