    Far before there. The idea that Birdwell is in the north of England but Hoyland isn't seems crazy

    Just topside of Oughtibridge (near Wharncliffe Side).

    Thats the most southerly point in the district. Nothing south of that counts for anything :D

    Give over, Immingham's never been in the Midlands. Yorkshire, Lancashire and Lincolnshire have always been in the North. Derbyshire and Notts are North Midlands

    Haha. Immingham's on the Humber even further north than us. My uncle lives in Lincoln and he considers himself a Northerner.

    He may consider he's a northerner but technically he's not

    Politically.......there is a straight diagonal line across the country from West to East between the Severn Estuary and the Wash.........anything below that line is considered the south

    What I find strange is the fact that northerners talk about the north south divide on a regular basis whilst southerners never mention it
