    South of Redcar is the Midlands.
    South of the Wash is the South.

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

    I'm from Durham so consider most people to be "down south". It used to confuse me when I was little and people said Liverpool was in the north as we had to travel a long way south to get there.

    Though these days I imagine England in rough thirds, using Wales as a guide - draw lines from the top and bottom of Wales (where it joins England). Above - northener, below - southerner!

    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! RLx

    I'm from Bath, Liza, but then again I am a Southerner, with 'unofficial' Northern roots.:rolleyes:
    Seriously though, I would say that the 'South' starts when they start serving flat beer. :beer:

    I live in Cheshire and it used to confuse me when I was young to hear people talking about taking the train up to London.

    If we considered this WEATHER wise, everyone on this small island is a Southern compared to us Canadians. You ALL complain about the winter and they are possitively BALMY compared to what I grew up with!

    However, I live in the Midlands but I consider this part to be the 'North Midlands' lol
