NORTH SOUTH DIVIDE
This is a fact.
@mattgrayyes I find the diagram from the Civil Nuclear Constabulary more accurate, personally.
@asj @mattgrayyes
I didn’t know this existed, but broadly maps to my thoughts that everything above the M4 is The North
@forquare @asj @mattgrayyes So what, Ealing is The North??

@spacehobo @asj @mattgrayyes

Three possible answers:

Yes, it is North of the beginning of The North Circular.

No, London is a strange entity unto itself.

Also no, having driven to mid-Scotland a few times, the signs keep saying “The North”, but I’ve yet to get there, leading me to believe we’re actually all Southern in the grand scheme of things.

@forquare @asj @mattgrayyes It would be really fun to put a sign up on the post at John O' Groats pointing to The North.

@spacehobo @asj @mattgrayyes I think it would only be fair to put a complimentary sign up at the Lizard pointing to The South.

Just to add to the fun.

@forquare @asj @mattgrayyes "Welcome to the Greater Midlands Island"
@spacehobo @asj @mattgrayyes forevermore the people of the land will be known as “gummies”, and affectionate pronunciation of the Greater Midlands Island initials, and also the result of poor national health dentistry…
@forquare @asj @mattgrayyes
Everything above the English Channel is north.
@asj @mattgrayyes I was always told there was a linguistic barrier that crossed diagonally through Leicester which most accurately divided "North" from "South", but there's always these.
@spacehobo @asj @mattgrayyes This is as clear-cut as an American north/south joke.
