[Monte]

Away from the planets surface.

Not if the planet is upside down or you are in Australia.

Australia still has “up”.

Interesting to see the North south divide here. Note the very consistent temperatures across the quintessentially southern cities like Liverpool, Bristol, Hull and Plymouth.

Isn't it the case that geomagnetic reversals take place, on average, every 450k years and the last one occurred 780k years ago?

Like the look of this map

Hmmm, I see your thinking, although that variation invokes a scenic detour to Tebay Services (reasonably handy for those who wish to thumb a lift to Kendal) but only if playing by the High Barnet Rules (Version 3.1.1) and if carrying a copy of New Scientist.

Finchley Central!

If the border between north and south was placed such that there was an equal number of people to the north and to the south, where would the border be?

Mornington Crescent!

[moochedit]

Ok i'm south of the op's dividing line then

Guess i'm on the list now

Kendal and Northallerton were popular puppets in the British version of the Czech children's programme The Old Tram Station.

Er...you were aware that Mainline stations were wild? Back you go.

When that happens all southerners become northerners.

 

[moochedit]

Being from the midlands, i reject the op's north/south division anyway

It’s fab.

Literally the world turned upside down

I may not agree with what you eat, but I'll defend to the death your right to eat it. But you do make it hard.

No, the world will still be the same way up, and north will still be north. Compasses will point in the opposite direction. There will a fortune to be made in producing compassed with the south pole painted red.

I surprised that the thread has gone well past its use-by date and reached page 17 without anyone commenting on the fact that in setting an arbitrary dividing line supposedly delineating "Northern" & "Southern" parts of the UK, the OP chose to illustrate the line using a settlement explicitly named after the prime cardinal direction.

Also, we can only imagine the consternation amongst those denizens of South Northallerton who would find themselves defined by the OP as Southerners.

Well, yes....but magnetic North would be South.

Welcome to the thread - good to have someone from the Kendal/Northallerton area with us.

 

[Serene]

Rayner will build a lot of mills in the south. Lets get some soot going. She plans to build a lot of terraced houses in westminster, with cobbled streets.
