View Full Version : North or South
Just wondering what the spread of folk on here is?
Now I know that this gegraphical poll is not accurate based on the true size of Great Britain, but based on the common reference to North, South and Midlands its roughly what people tend to go by.
If you split it correctly I think that Manchester is probably in the south, but for this poll if people can just go with the flow for a bit. Those in Scotland obviously are North ;)
So to try and get an idea, anything below Milton Keynes/Banbury level is the south, anything from MK up to about Stoke/Derby level is midlands and Stoke/Derby and above that is North.
Thanks Folks :)
ps this is where you currently live, not where you are from!

It always seem to me that 80 % of the posters on any given bike talkboard live within about a 20m radius in the Home Counties....
Centred on Box Hill, I suppose... :P

i kinda agree, hence the reason for the poll.
I see lots of Ducatis up here, but not that many that post on the forums.
Makes me wonder if its not really the split, but more the line of work? Maybe those inthe south are more inclined to have jobs where they have regular access to the internet during the day?

this poll is lending a fair bit of weight to a southern (brands hatch) trackday.
North, but i'd rather be South of France or even Spain at the moment:)

South, worse luck. The whole road system is like Tescos carpark on a Saturday afternoon.
If you'd been a-listening to JP on Saturday mornings (Home Truths - rip), you'd have been party to the N/S divide and also the E/W divide.
Missed the conclusion - anyone enlighten me?
For myself - spent most of my years around the NY Moors but work forces me to be a softy, but born a Geordie, via most of the known World.

Midlands.... seem I'm in a minority.... where are the rest of you?? Glyn??
T'up North. God's Country.

From the East (so I refuse to be north or south!)... but lived within the M25 for ages now..
Definite sarf bias - Brands trackday coming on????

Judging by the poll, North is less crowded. Great, more room on the road.
About 1/2 mile from the solent, so i guess SARF as it gets!
But i think moggers and jewell can't answer, as their West Country, you try telling people from west country their from the Sarf!
I don't class myself southern, class myself west country (where i was born)
Confused that's me, according to your instructions I am Midlands Lily, however I am actually East Anglia, born in Essex, but Cornish by heritage-like I said confused.
And Flanker, when you are Proper Cornish you don't even accept that you are English-anymore than the Scots or Welsh do. Home rule for Cornwall that's what I say-but Prescott wouldn't ask US just incase we said yes..........:lol:

Great idea Chris but i tried a few phrases from Scott Dobson's book "lern ya sel Geordie" and it freaked the translators out.:lol::lol::frog:
I live in WIgan the 'Arse End of England'. So being an 'End' is that North or South.
well, used to live in Stoke (posh end) but also lived in Manchester and MK. Now, middle of nowhere but Derby is nearest civilisation
