I used the word snicket to describe an alley the other day and my friend looked at me like I had three heads. It’s the bap/roll/cob debate all over!

I’ve never heard most of these haha. Is my southerness showing?
Out of interest, what do you define as north England?
I love asking English people this question, it varies massively depending on where in England they’re from. A Londoner friend told me it’s “anything north of the M25”, whereas a Nottum said it was “somewhere above Sheffield”.
Anything north of the M25. My in-laws from Bedford are definitely not Northern in my mind haha. So most of Essex is Northern to them.
I dont know where I’d draw the line to be honest. I’d consider anywhere around Manchester and Liverpool as Northern. Looking up Sheffield, I’d say yeah, Northern.
I dont know how far south of Sheffield I’d still consider Northern before its Midlands. I’ve met people from Lincoln who said they were for the Midlands, so there can’t be much in it.
