Birmingham, or maybe York. As a Scot living in England I find it so frustrating (and get into too many arguments) about this idea of one nation. They seem to mean One nation England and not the UK. To me north is not Manchester or Newcastle, its Inverness and the midlands is Not Birmingham but maybe Preston/Manchester or Newcastle. When do these clowns understand that if they really want to be inclusive of the whole UK, they have to actually start by how they think of the UK. Ok, thats my first rant on this forum. Hope it's your last. By your logic we would be ranting about western cities like Bristol and Edinburgh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its where is North, Midland or South thats the issue. Maybe thats where you and the westminster Government are going wrong. In Buckinghamshire, where do you consider yourself to be located geographically? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shite. Bristol is a western city in England and Edinburgh is an eastern city in Scotland - even though E'burgh is west of Bristol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why cant people have a debate without turning to aggressive comments in a sensible debate. Your comment is irrelevant ion the debate about the North South divide. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've desperate to see, say, Edinburgh or Glasgow as northern cities then you are manufacturing a problem that doesn't exist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullerene Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Lizard Point (southernmost point) is at latitude 49 degrees and 57 minutes. Dunnet Head (northernmost point) is at latitude 58 degrees and 38 minutes. Kendal in Cumbria is midway between the two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
