Given there is a lot of debate regarding the north/south divide, I'll through my 2p worth in aswell. Anywhere south of the Tyne is down south. North of the Tyne, your a northerner :-)

Think the scots and Northumbrians may disagree :, then the faro islanders !!

Nah, on a serious note, I would've classed down to Teesside area as the "border" for up north. Once you cross into Yorkshire territories, that in my eyes is not north.

I suppose it's different for everyone. If I lived on south coast, anywhere past London could be classed as up north.

Hi Rob.

Welcome to the forum.

What is it that got you into prepping? I had a friend (an author) suggest I look into what some of my business heroes are doing in their personal lives outside of work. Oddly they're prepping! He sent me a copy of his new book, and that gave me loads of ammunition to learn and get to understanding!!!

Yeah I put most things south of Middlesbrough as definately not being northern
