Newcastle is pretty much equidistant from the southernmost point and northernmost point in terms of latitude, so you’d say that’s in the middle ? And as around 85% of the population of the UK live in North Yorkshire or further south, I think it’s pretty fair to describe it as being in the North. I think anyone who argues otherwise has a chip (or perhaps deep fried mars bar) on their shoulder 😁
1. Agreed, but we were talking about Manchester and Yorkshire.
2.Bollocks
3.Yes, but have you actually tried a Deep Fried Mars Bar?

Well I was only trying to stir it up, but I did a quick fact check and really it seems 85% (or thereabouts) are in North Yorks or further south. I added up Scotland, Northern Ireland, Northumberland, Cumbria, County Durham, and Tyne and Wear. Never had the pleasure of a deep fried mars bar but had deep fried pizza once in Wales.

Call me stunned but isn't that just amazingly clean?

Nah, but thanks for the offer. I know a good watch repairer in the Uk. I'll have a drive over next week for

I might find this is already covered in pages 4 and 5 but your man needs to understand what you've got there and will disassemble/clean/regulate with TOTAL focus on preserving the originality of the watch. Please.

The North begins at Yorkshire. Thought everyone knew that.
And, on the wet side of the Pennines, we have Lancashire.
Oh me? I was born in Blackburn, married a gal from Whitestake and lived there a few years before pushing off to the soft South.

Members of this forum from beyond Albion: please be patient, this burst of parochiality will be over soon.

Oh crikey! Used to drink at the Sirloin and ran rally cars prepared in Hoghton. Worked for a couple of years at Cuerden.

I believe so , but don’t really want everyone to know as I moved across the border from Wales about 15 years ago .
