I love asking UK, especially English, people this question; the answers vary wildly. Once had a Londoner describe the north as “anywhere north of the M25”.

So, lemmings, where is ‘the north’ to you?

    You do realise York comes from the word “Yorvik” and that ze French never made it that far north, right?

      I was going largely by geographic proximity rather than conquest. Also if you’re suggesting that Yorkshire is in the South then they won’t be happy with that!
