Adding 'The Midlands' to the 'Northern' forum

[kabbes]

Woah, I thought a load of old posters had returned there, for a minute.

I would argue that Derby / Nottingham / Lincoln are definitely Midlands, Sheffield is definitely North.

Buxton, Chesterfield and Scunthorpe feel more North than Midlands, although Buxton and Chesterfield being Derbyshire are nominally still Midlands unless you argue for the concept of Hallamshire.

Unless you take the traditional south london approach to it all, in which case, geographically from the south, there is

a) the channel, across which there is foreign parts
b) the seaside
c) the country (i.e. Sussex and outer Surrey)
d) where the stockbrokers and other posh gits live
e) South London, the Catford Cat marking the scientifically proven centre of the universe
f) The River
g) Up West / The City (where the posh gits go during the daytime)
h) north london (bleurgh)
i) up north somewhere

Nottingham's a northern town, no? And is Chester really north?

Pffft! Cheeky fucker. Just cos the Shrewsbury fans sing "You're Welsh and you know it" doesn't mean we're not the hub of the North West you know

I appreciate this isn't going to go down well with one and all, but I'm trying to fix an annoying problem with the current selection of ' Travel & places' forums.

To keep everyone happy, I'm even prepared to change the title around - to, say, Northern and Midlands forum - every three months or so.

Fair enough?

Ahem! Cough, cough

Everybody knows anything south of Cheadle Hulme is Cockney anyway so this Brummie business all needs to be in the London forums.

Wolverhampton is where 'the north' really starts

God no. Wolverhampton is a dive in the South.

God no. Wolverhampton is a dive in the South.

Wolverhampton is an arsehole in its own universe.

anyway, Cheshire is Essex with more scousers, while Shropshire and Herefordshire are like Cumberland and Northumberland - beautiful, but with savage foreigners on one side and savage natives on the other.

And the proper north starts somewhere past York

And the propeyr north starts somewhere past York

when i lived in Richmond, there was a widespread feeling that anything that happened south of Thirsk was not only of no importance, but likely to be infected with 'southern poovery'...
