I assume you mean Peterborough....... and since 75% of its non-EastEuropean (AsylumSeeking/MigrantWorker) population moved from London (thanks to Roy Kinnear and the P'Boro effect) I think it counts as an honoury London Suberb rather than "oop North".
NB The other 25% is made up of:
A fairly large italian Population who never went "home" after they opened the camps at the end of the war.
and of course the in-bred "Swampies" who escaped thier Fen Villages.Comment

One thing that makes me laugh is all the Southerners who have moved to rural France to escape the crime/arrogant gits/high prices/pollution/overcrowding. They could do that by moving out of the South, but they are so ignorant they think the whole of the UK is like their small hellish corner.Comment

2. Southerners in general don't really care about the North.
3. People from the South think that the South starts just below Peteborough, and conveniently does or doesn't include London as part of any argument as and when it suits them.
4. Birmingham isn't in the South.
5. The South regularly enjoys sub-tropical climate all year round of 25+ degrees, where as it's always snowing and cold in the North.
On a more serious note, should it be 'South' or 'south'? (Or 'North' or 'north'...?)
Are they proper nouns? What about 'Northerner' versus 'northerner'? (I'm thinking northerner is correct.) Can the CUK grammar police help?!Cats are evil.Comment
