I agree having lived in Liverpool for 14 years, perhaps the most different English city to the rest. People are people and we share many more similarities than differences.

Yeah, the northern monkeys have cheaper housing, lower cost of living, but roughly same wages. That's why, when us entitled, rich southerners go on holiday, we're outnumbered 3-1 by the arrogant great unwashed....go on a cruise, you'll understand why I'm bitter
Yeah, they're Dutch, whereas we're French
You know Warminster isn't in East Anglia, right?
For the record, I class the north as from that bit outside the M25 looking up
It's funny how overtly English a geordie accent sounds when you fly straight from Belfast to Newcastle.
So by your reckoning, Harpenden is in the North of England?

Yes
Haywards Heath is the beginning of the north!

That might be stretching the literal definition of 'north'
Technically anything outside the city bounds is "up north". Including the Isle of Wight.
I remember singing "you dirty northern bastards" at Plymouth Argyle some years ago. Pretty sure we sung it at Marseille too, although I was a bit pissed so may have made that up.

Findon Village is north as far as I’m concerned…..
West Chiltington, Storrington? Might as well be Scottish

As someone born from Littlehampton, living in March, Cambridgeshire, I would respectively say that the locals here would say your talking s**t.
Good spot I should have updated about 2 years ago.........Happy Now??
I’m definitely happy, I had to look up Warminster earlier to see if there was another one in Norfolk
I admire your diligence.I’m definitely happy, I had to look up Warminster earlier to see if there was another one in Norfolk
I don’t really know much about Norfolk and also Suffolk, I’ve only been there for Albion games.

Just to be clear, I was just pointing out the lack of teams from the north in the PL and meant the thread as a bit of football fun and in no way a cultural/political dig or thread. I’m as far opposed to Gove, Johnson and all of the other charlatans in government as it’s possible to be and agree fully with your point.
It has irritated me a bit over the years the lack of respect clubs from outside of the north, midlands and London do get though and the way MASSIVE clubs from those areas are spoken about in comparison and I’m enjoying the success of the more ‘provincial’ clubs like ourselves.

I've lived near Horam for 5 years, didn't realise that I had become a Northerner!
Glad that I'm moving to East Dean soon and will be back in the South.

Happy? no.
I admire your prompt updating skills, though
Totally with you.
Personally I’d love to see a season with Bournemouth, Southampton, Portsmouth and Brighton in the top flight. And Plymouth too. Now that would be fun.
