North vs. South debate

Which is better?

I thought this might make an interesting discussion.

Which do you think is better, the North or the South?
For me it's the North, because I live in North Yorkshire.

North Yorkshire isnt really north though.

Thats like saying Birmingham is the south.

This is just gonna be a 'whichever place you come from' vote. And as the majority will be located in the south, they're obviously gonna win.

I obviously prefer the north because I was born and raised here.

I don't have a preference. I'm half northern half southern - so I can't pick one :tongue:

Certainly is north. In England anyway. South Yorkshire arguably isn't, aren't parts of Sheffield historically in Derbyshire?

Birmingham is definitely not in the south though, agreed.

I don't like anywhere north of Solihull.

Seems the further north you go the percentage of chavs go up exponentially.

Its between the actual North and the Midlands. Its just a big field too plug the gap.

So by your definition, someone who was born and lives in Southampton isn't a Southerner because someone from Lands End (in Cornwall) is more South than them?
