Should the north of England become a separate country?

then we could go to war with the south and they would lose cos theyre soft

This is what average people in the North of England look like. I dont know why we havent already split the country in half. The South needs to have a referendum on leaving the North, like the Scots did.

So Liverpool and Sheffield are south then?

This is obviously the cut off people.

Where's the cut-off point?

I like Shrewsbury so anything below Shropshire and the South can have the rest.

Shrewsbury is lovely but I don't imagine that the locals consider themselves northern. (I've never had that conversation, but I imagine Shropshire considers itself more southern than some other counties of that latitude.

At least being in the north might mean that people get their heads around the fact it's pronounced ShrOOsbury though.

Shrewsbury is great gone fishing down there. But some locals get alienated if you pronunce it with the e. They pronounce it Shrowsbury

Eh? The vast, vast majority of the locals (and by "local" I mean anyone within 20-30 miles and extending well over the border into Wales) say Shroosbury.

Well I pronounce things how i say them im about 56 miles away from "Shrewsbury" and i pronounce it with the E

Good, that's the correct way.

It's the welsh , and the shropies who can't pronounce it right

then we could go to war with the south and they would lose cos theyre soft

The north would destroy itself by becoming a left wing Labour hell hole. Within days 100 million third world migrants will have flooded the region.

The whole of the north (from yorkshire upwards -Bradford to be specific) Hate foreigners but vote labour as tory gives them hell
