Urban75's north - south divide: definitive statistics

[brogdale]

No, it is asking them where they live. It is asking for a location and says nothing about demography.


The thread has no stated aim. However, regarding what the thread is examining, the OP talks about "people that live in the south of the UK".

It's really very straightforward.


No, because that is something entirely different.

Firstly, your thread and OP poses a spatial demographic or Geodemographic question.
Secondly, your thread claims to be predicated on the spatial hypothesis, or guess, that "urban75 is overwhelmingly populated by people that live in the south of the UK". This hypothesis borders on redundant truism as it is already known that the majority of the population live in the South of the UK.
Thirdly, the way to establish if the home locations of U75 members deviate from that established spatial pattern, then you should properly have determined you delineation line based upon the population centre of Britain at Snarestone in Leicestershire.

Thank you for sharing your assumptions about the purpose of the thread and poll question. But I am afraid that peppering your prose with academic/technical terminology does not change the fact that your assumptions are incorrect.

They aren't assumptions; they are quotes from your post. Are you suggesting that you didn't know what you were doing when you posted the thread?

I am someone who lives between the River Thames and The Wash. As far as I know, men in the North of England keep coal down their trousers, ferrets in their baths, and whippets down the pit.

If anyone wants to self identify, or refer to themselves, as "Northern English" or a "North Englander" then that's fine.

For you North Englander the war is over…

It's all based from a London perspective though isn't it? The political and administrative, financial, and by far the largest urban centre in the UK. So it's the provinces and regions from that perspective.

A week after Marks & Spencer launched its 'Best Ever Trifle', the retailer has revealed that the product is now their fastest-selling dessert of all time. Sales are said to be up 172% on the year and M&S reports that those living in Lancashire and Cumbria are the biggest fans, buying more trifles than any other regions in the U.K.

This is Marks & Spencer's fastest-selling dessert ever

Sales are up 172%!

Trifle is no trifling matter.

Glad to see it’s a proper trifle, and not an abomination including jelly.

Important to note that sales were best in Cumbria and Lancashire.
Roughly where the OP placed his line.
This can't be a coincidence.
