Urban75's north - south divide: definitive statistics

[teuchter]

My guess is that urban75 is overwhelmingly populated by people that live in the south of the UK but let's see.

The line is determined by a latitude midway between the northernmost and southernmost points on the mainland of Great Britain and I expect some people (living in the southern region) are going to get upset by this but before you start complaining, consider that I could have included the Shetland isles if I'd wanted, ok?

I think you mean a line of latitude.

Absolutely I am. But it is just a stupid place to put the divide and completely ignores the common understanding of a North / South divide and makes you whole poll pointless. Unless your aim is just to troll of course.

Where's the option for: Wtf! I live south of Northallerton but I'm not a Southerner! * harumph *

 

[Throbbing Angel]

So Manchester, Morecambe and Milnthorpe are 'the South' are they?

Like fuck! / Shite Poll!

Beijing 39.9167; Kendal 54.3288. It's a fair cop.

ETA Oops, missed the UK stipulation. Gloucestershire a touch south of Kendal too.

I live in the South, but I recently spent a week in the North.

It were cold!!

I do. My apologies.

But solidarity Southern comrade.

Well, it makes as much sense, or more, as teuchter's definition does.

Consider me flummoxed..although not living in the UK, was was born at Helm Chase..which everyone knows was the maternity hospital in Kendal. The current Westmorland General is SOUTH Kendal, but I think the old Helm Chase was more NORTH Kendal.

poll should be are you wearing wellies or not

I think trolling is an unfair assumption to make about this poster

Read somewhere once that living in London knocks ten years off your life, oh well is that why everyone is like this?? do you get it added back on once you leave? I can believe that, this city is well hostile.

Should be self-determined northern/southern-ness, to allow for migratory urbanites.

These terms are relatives, not absolutes, when it comes to culture. So your statement will be true in geographic terms but meaningless otherwise.

No map?

When people refer to the north they don't mean the UK they mean England, which is around Birmingham.

Any map that omits the MIDLANDS is too flawed to be engaged with or taken seriously. Next.

 

[JimW]

Expect most are Easterners too. Sketchy bunch.

It's obviously yours. Watford gap is the dividing line, then there's some barren wasteland above Kendal on the way to Iceland, but only sheep live there, with the odd sheep worrier.

This thread is about the UK. It's also written by me and when I refer to the north it depends on the context of the discussion. If you want to do an Englanders only thread, feel free. I know it's the most opressed nation of the UK, such a tragedy.

Still, nice to see teuchter get a bit of latitude on here, he's normally shot down shortly after takeoff.

No, Watford, and bit Watford Gap is where the dividing line is, but it bends further north when it hits Essex.

No, he had a bit of longitude, but thought that gave him latitude.

 

[Puddy_Tat]

there are places north of the thames?

 

[JimW]

Sure that's the thirteenth Baron Wasteland, not his cousin Earl Wilderness?

Who lives to the West of Greenwich meridian?
