''look north'' bbc news starts in liverpool manchester, however the call it the same in the north east??
It's called "Look North West" in the north west. Oddly enough. But while TV regions are a useful guide our beloved government has its own geographical map of England with nine regions which differ to TV.

Cheshire, Merseyside, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cumbria form the North West.
Cleveland, Durham, Tyne and Wear and Northumbria make up the North East.
Derbyshire falls in to East Midlands so is effectively not the north.
South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, North Yorkshire and Humberside (including the bit south of the ah Humber) for Yorkshire and Humberside. I think every Yorkshireman would argue that this is the north.0 -
Anything past the top of the M25 lol
OH is from Birmingham I call him an Northerner he says he isnt
He certainly isn't a northerner, he is from The Midlands.
North starts around Manchester-ish or Hull on the East side.(AKA HRH_MUngo)

Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton0 -
The Mersey to the West, the Humber to the East.0

When Southerners say they think the north starts at the top of the m25 i realise that must be because they are too stupid to understand the concept of a midlands area !!Spelling courtesy of the whims of auto correct...
Pet Peeves.... queues, vain people and hypocrites ..not necessarily in that order.0 -
The Midlands is rejected by everyone! When I was in Bristol it was considered the north, but among those from Crewe it's considered the south. I wonder what is generally accepted as the most southern point of the North and most northern point of the south?Trying to lose weight (13.5lb to go)0

Yes I agree. Folk just need to look on a map to get barings. The rest is just ignorance. People in the north say it about the South too. You can be North or south of anywhere it's a factual concept. Midlands is just the mid lands.Never again will the wolf get so close to my door :eek:0 -
Watford (not the Gap).0

The M62 which goes from Hull to Manchester.0
