Imagine living in NORTHumberland and saying you are part of the south
I’ve learned yesterday that there should rather be a western/eastern divide: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQzqmV7t6_0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQzqmV7t6_0)
Every Londoner I speak to thinks England ends somewhwre after Manchester and therefore Birmingham is North
one of the great maps that’s about how about 10% of respondents are just fucking around on every poll
Seen some people from Yorkshire say Liverpool isn’t northern 💀🙏
I’m not even convinced some parts of the ‘North West’ are in the north to be honest. I live in Cumbria 😅
Imagine saying to someone „I hail from the neither regions“
This is not actually a good way of finding out where people think the divide is- these are pre-made statistical regions with some generally pretty strong clues in their names (North West, South East etc). Doing it at a county level is much better, although which counties are used then causes problems (e.g. is Wirral in Merseyside or Cheshire?) and there’s still the High Peak district in Derbyshire which a lot of people would say is in the North despite generally thinking Derbyshire is in the midlands. Ideally you’d just get people to actually draw the line (and possibly tell them whether the midlands are real or not first) and then take some best fit line from that data.
Wish they would divide the north west region up. Lancashire and Cumbria together. Wouldn’t really consider Cheshire part of the north. Merseyside and greater Manchester are probably just in the north. So would have been interesting to see what people would vote for if it was split up like that.
I suppose that’s why there’s a third term called the Midlands.
But whatever will will call that land in the middle…?
Somebody watched Map Men (Map Men, Map Map Map men ^(men))
I’d love to see a map like this that is based only on self-ID. People always draw the line closer to themselves so instead ask people:
1. where are you from?
2. Is that place in the north, south or midlands?
That way people are only grouping themselves and not making assumptions about places they probably know little about.
My hypothesis is that such a map would yield more clear borders as the areas that are disputed when asking the opinion of both Geordies and Londoners are firmly one side of the line or the other in the minds of those who actually live there.
