I'd say south of The Wash too...if you kind of draw a line from Bristol over to The Wash, it's that section underneath - I think.

It's true that us southerners consider the north to be anywhere further than the Watford Gap. But don't confuse the Watford Gap with Watford, Hertfordshire, as some people do!
Hertfordshire, Essex, London, Middlesex, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Cambridgshire are also considered to be in the south along with Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, etc.
Weather's much better down 'ere by the way!

As someone who was born and bred in Newcastle but moved as a 20 year old to London I'd say - as soon as anyone realises you say bath instead of barrth!
Seriously I'd like to say south of Birmingham but southerners say south of Watford.

Has to be. Southerners are so soft they'd freeze to death with proper weather.

When I was a kid I lived on the Sussex coast, and we considered London to be the Midlands!
Anywhere beyond Bristol - I lived there too - is the West, not the South, by the way!
