Where is The North?

[Ekona]

I don't trust anyone who enjoys the cold that much

[PPod]

I still wear shorts and a t-shirt currently in Scotland  

[LRF4N]

Oh we don't enjoy it....but no use moaning about it- we’re kinda stuck with it lol

The North starts where people are friendly and say hello when passing in the street, end of story.

It’s not that there’s Gregg’s everywhere, it’s the population density per Greggs!

Any thing south of Gateshead is France. Newcastle up to Scotland is the real north lol

[docwra]

Huddersfield and Preston are in the South?

[Jay84]

Cov-Stoke midlands...But here (in the midalnds) we also have East Midlands, which for some reason is Derby to the Coast. This leaves a tiny bit to split between us and Wales.

[Jay84]

Anyone who is southern, to me pronounces nuts as nats, or not with a hard u (like a grunt) sound.

i just can't see Lincoln as being northern 

[rabbitstew]

Ive got to drive to Newcastle & back on Friday. 4 hour`s each way for me. Pretty sure thats up north somewhere.

[Lurch]

I have to say I grew up in Yorkshire and live in Scotland. Anywhere past south yorkshire is the south. Anywhere north of that is the north. 

 

Having said that that it can be measured different ways as has been suggested. Population density has it in snareston. 

 

People per gregs has it on some weird line 

 

and actual distance has it at Leeds. 

 

[gsexr]

Anywhere over the thames 

[Rock_Steady]

Lincoln is without question in the North. 

 

And only people in London pronounce "nuts" as "nats" or "house" as "ass"

Nah, Lincoln is in the Midlands - the Limbo Land.  The weather simply isn't bad enough there to call it 'North', they get sunshine for goodness' sake!

Lincoln isn't North or South, it's just a blurry area that no one really knows exists!

 

 

[Whitevanman]

Lincoln is on the east midlands border and shares a lot of other towns post codes as well like ng(notts)

pe(peterboro) dn(Doncaster). as well as the ln(Lincoln) postcode. so Lincoln isn't north or south we are definitely in the east, so either east midlands or east coast.... that's how I see it anyway....

[Ekona]

Lincoln, east?! Lowestoft is east, Ipswich is east, Lincoln is firmly in the north my friend as you’re practically level with Sheffield!  

[ATTAK Z]

@Ekona

 

sort tha sen art Dan

 

 

1) Lincolnshire stretches from the North (the River Humber) to the South (Cambridgeshire) and is therefore clearly Midlands

 

2) Lincolnshire coast is longer than Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex and Kent combined

 

that makes it East Midlands

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

P.S. I may have lied in point 2

[Whitevanman]

Sheffield is over an hours drive from Lincoln travelling north west, Yorkshire is the true start to the north granted and parts of north Lincolnshire would be classed as the north but Lincoln itself is not in the north.
