Currently travelling on the M1 towards Yorkshire, in the absence of engaging scenery, we have been discussing at what geographical point one becomes a Northerner. Thus far we have drawn a boundary that runs through Crewe and on to Chesterfield.

Where would NSCers draw the frozen line under the North?

Anything North of Sheffield is a good marker, draw an imaginary line across from N Wales and you will not be far off. We live on that line and are still classed as East Midlands

Isn't it the point where people start putting gravy on their chips?

Cant agree with saying Chesterfield/Crewe/Sheffield is the "border" - as that means places like Stoke, Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Leicester and Derby are all classed as the South !!
