North/South devide

[chris79]

The trouble with the "North" is that it's so far away from anywhere else (Except Scotland).

Actually it's quite the opposite, the further away from 'the south', the better as far as I'm concerned.

You're confusing the "South" with London.

Somerset, Wiltshire and Dorset are in the "South" and have a fair bit of countryside.

The trouble with the "North" is that it's so far away from anywhere else (Except Scotland).

I live in the North and I find Rome, Brussels, Paris and Munich etc are much easier and cheaper to get to than the South.

You are right about confusing South with London, but I usualy find that Southerners who are not from the Metrolopse tend to have less of an attitude to the North.

Well, it makes it quite hard to commute to Europe (extra 2-4 hours).

I wouldn't mind living in the North if there was a major transport hub there.

Really? Flying to Moscow is a real bitch from Newcastle. Two flights instead of one, but I guess (as with most things) it depends on your individual circumstances.

OK, should have said sarf east innit.

If you are talking north east or cumbria then maybe, it's 1hr 45 to london from my nearest train station.

<pedant> Suffolk and Kent are only 50 miles from Lunnen and is still as rural as it gets, and is still the South East.

I though Suffolk was classified as East?

Spot on, having lived, both North and South and Midlands (they always get forgotten), I'd have to say it's more grim down south, with a few exceptions.
I much prefer countryside to concrete.

The middlands don't get forgotten they just get overlooked as theres nothing there other than the motorway joining the North to the South....

Yeh i think it is in terms of London-centric BBC news programmes who think that Northamptonshire is 'the north' , but geographically, it's south east of the UK.
