No but I'm not a dirty northerner :D:D

It depends what you class as "north", but, if you class me as "north" then I am a dirty northerner!:D:D:eek::D:rotfl:

(I'll go and have my tea later.)

Sadly(:rotfl:), I'm not permitted to be my total true self or to be "dirty" (whatever that means) on here.:rotfl:

Otherwise, I may be in an ill-defined boundary between north and not very south. For example, "Sheffield" may be clearly in "the north" but what about the very north of North East Derbyshire? Is the whole of Lincolnshire in "the Midlands", including that which is on the coast, or is part of Lincolnshire in "the north" or, indeed, is part of it actually "East Yorkshire" and, therefore, in "the north" as the whole of Yorkshire is in "the north". Is Buxton in the North West (of England) (being covered by North West Tonight on BBC TV) and, therefore, as part of the "North West" is "the north" or is it in Derbyshire and, therefore, the East Midlands? I.e. central England rather than north or south.

What about Stoke? Is that in "the north", being mentioned in a song by the KLF called "It's Grim up North" in the early 1990s, or, as part of Staffordshire is the Midlands of England, not the North West? Parts of it get Midlands Today from Birmingham (clearly neither "north" nor "south") but other parts get North West Tonight and are "north" but some get both, so where are they, and some even manage to get Wales TV yet clearly are not in Wales!

In the hypothethical situation that I live in any of the areas mentioned:rotfl:.

It's not clear to me whether I am a "north"erner or not, as I don't know the precise boundaries of "the north" or, for that matter, "the south". In fact, there is not any precise boundary and different people's views, if they have any, differ. And, of course, I may have moved from another area to the place I am now. Perhaps I can be an honorary northerner if not.

EDIT: Indeed "Sheffield" - in quotes as what does the term "Sheffield" mean? What about Hathersage in Derbyshire - Derbyshire is normally considered East Midlands and therefore part of Central England than the north - that recently featured on a news item - about 10 miles from Sheffield, not part of the metropolis but might want to join Sheffield as part of a northern metro. area if there was any benefit to the village. However, it is part of rural Derbyshire - so, does it align with Derbyshire - a mainly rural county - or does it look to Sheffield which is about 10 miles away? Is "the north", like any other "region", defined by counties and (former) metropolitan areas or by postcode regions or, probably, neither?

Anyway...can't stop to keep talking about this, must move on!;)

Oh, well, I'm definitely north of Watford! So, I'm in the north!:j:j:rotfl: (Not that I would have anything to object to if I were in the south.)

(I'm not giving anything away as you all pretty much already knew I was "north of Watford", having my tea, rather than dinner, in the evening.)

I could be in Blackpool for all you know:rotfl:. Maybe that is "south" (compared to Scotland)?:)
