Re: Where does the North start?

North starts at the South Pole. Well you can't go any more south, so you can only go north.

Hi

Wales has it's own North South divide, even the language is different depending where you live.

When I worked in Wales there was a lot to do, unfortunately I spent a lot of time on adjudicating on rows about street naming, so so political between the North and the South.

It was letters in the Press, radio and TV Interest and I had one member of staff more or less full time on this mind blowing nonsense.

Hi

North of England.

The Scots have their own North/South divide, as does Wales.

Re: Where does the North start?

When I used to drive the A1 regularly I figured I was north when I passed the turn to Doncaster. Not sure why, but south of that seemed sort of midlands to me.
