North, mainly because I'm from the north (and my family's Italian friend who is extremely outgoing found London to be a bit less friendly than the north, but maybe it was just staying with us). I live on the north side of Leeds and am a half hour bus ride from a decent and quickly expanding city centre with the country side the other side of my doorstep. It's nice to have the best of both worlds.

I can appreciate that people want the buzz of London, but sometimes I like to get away from the crowds as well as mingle with them, and living in the north allows me to do that (until Mr Prescott creates his proposed supercity from Liverpool to Hull to Newcastle to Sheffield incorporating Manchester and Leeds).

That, and how would I get to my blessed Leeds RL home games?

However, what is north exactly? I'd really consider only Newcastle and Durham to be the proper north of the UK (I think Wakefield comes out as just about the centre of the major cities in the UK). Or is the proverbial "north of Watford Gap" stereotype still in place (along with the same ones that the north of England runs on a postage stamp and all Yorkshiremen farm sheep and the occational pig :smile:

I live in London (EC1) so it's got to be the south. We have everything you could want here, the weather is (slightly, yet still noticeably) better and you can understand what people are talking about :tongue:

.

Overall, the only thing against London is the cost of living here, although it isn't that much higher than other UK cities such as Cardiff, Birmingham etc- it's only tourists who get ripped off.

In Liverpool I went to Burger King one day for lunch, but I couldn't understand what the girl behind the till was saying. I finished my order and she was still saying something, so I had to ask for "Super Size" to buy myself some time to work out what she was saying, and I wasn't even that hungry :frown:

ooooh! Have to go to the Magpie Cafe (in Scarborough) for the best fish and chips in the world. I almost forgot that. Another great reason to live in the north.

South!

...but not London and it's surroundings. And I don't count near Birmingham as south - that's the middle. So in fact just kind of draw a line slightly to the right of Bristol down to the coast, then up following the Welsh border. So Wales and the South West basically!
