From wiki:
The Sheffield City Region is an area of England centred on Sheffield. It was one of eight city regions defined in the 2004 document Moving Forward: The Northern Way,[1] as a collaboration between the three northern regional development agencies. It covers the entirety of the metropolitan county of South Yorkshire, and also adding four districts from north Derbyshire, and one district from northern Nottinghamshire. The Nottinghamshire district being Bassetlaw, which includes Worksop. Coming from Chesterfield, I hate to be from the same region as those Nottinghamshire filth, but definitely the North, not Midlands. |

I agree with Mikael, Nottinghamshire is definitely the North to me.
Excellent work on the naps front MisterB by the way, I just hope you are lumping on your selections as that must be your Winter Caribbean cruise well and truly paid for by now. |

cheers slippy, I only wish I was too

north starts at Peterborough imo - that's where the northern accent starts
|

By:
Without looking I don't know, but it is clearly well south of North Yorkshire, which means it is a place to be avoided.
Even the name doesn't really send out attractive signals....rather like "Stoke"! |

I guess that sums up why to avoid Worksop! |
|
By:
North obviously as its name implies, if it was south it would be shandysop, limpwristsop or someoneelsedotheworksop

Very good brend, Worksop where men are men and so are the women.

But yes dinner should be the Afternoon meal. Lee should no better.

Dinner in the afternoon A.G.?
 What time does he have his lunch then? |
|
By:
Hi Slippy
No such thing as lunch up here, unless you are part of the new wave. But for anyone of Lee`s age its breakfast, dinner, tea and supper. |
|
By:
you would think they are called dinner ladies by accident or sumfink
|
|
By:
That`s reet brend, bloody southerners will be talking about lunch ladies next!
|
|
By:
ladies who lunch = work shy southerns
dinner ladies = hard working salt of the earth northerners |
|
By:
Course worksop is in the north, anywhere north of Northampton is Northern to southerners. And besides, you know it's in the north because the name is misspelt, was meant to be called workshy
 Don't kill me. |
|
By:
The north starts at Yorkshire in the east and Cheshire/Lancashire in the west, so Worksop is definitely not in the north. Neither it is in the south. The term Midlands was invented for places like Worksop.

The Midlands was invented to stop the massacre between the north and south.

If Worksop is MIdlands, Sheffield must be too. |
|
By:
sorry ,Crewe is in fact north west - my bad ---if you want to choose a fair example go for North Norfolk ,technically South and compare with Cheshire
Scolt head headland -Norfolk (south east) 53.00 N Bell of the hill - Cheshire - (north west) 53.00N  |

By:
Worksop is to all intents north mainly because it is closer to Sheffield and Donny than anywhere
Sheffield,Barnsley,Doncaster and Worksop form a little square on the map Quaint |

found it - the part of england where the south is more northerly than a village in the north
Audlem ,Cheshire North west 52.989 N Scolt island (central) - Norfolk 52.982 N |

To me, Nottingham and beyond is a reasonable mark as what I would consider to be oop North.
Perhaps ye ecky thump brigade can help me on another point. Geographically heading from North to South, whereabouts in England does supper become dinner? |
|
By:
Supper never makes it to dinner. That train terminates at midnight.
|
|
By:
Was dragged up in Nottingham and it was always breakfast, dinner tea there.
Nottingham is Midlands as is Derby. Worksop is up North as is Sheffield. |
|
By:
i'd say Nottingham is a good one if you're splitting the nation into simply south /north, Slippers
Nottingham has a definate northern feel ,as does Stoke Leicester and Derby seem more south than north |
|
By:
North to me is industrial,and heavy industry - coal mines and all that -a little bit more run down , South is more rural
i think of Derbyshire ,Lincs and Leicestershire as rural counties - but not Notts -thats industrial (or was) |
|
By:
Anything past Watford is north.
|
|
By:
Nottingham was coal mining and light industry especially cigarettes, bicycles and munitions. True it has a more northern feel than Birmingham where I live now. Nottingham regards itself as East Midlands as do Derby and Leicester which are close by.

|
By:
they are east midlands - but i think we are talking if the country was split in two fiona
|
|
By:
Birmingham is the only area i can't pigeon hole - not sure what i'd do with that lot
|
|
By:
If you rule out "Midlands then would agree that the line goes through Leicester and Notters is more North than South. Birmingham, like London has a coat of many colours Coachy, Some parts have an affluent Southern feel, other parts I hesitate to describe.

|
By:
yes - in that case we'll divide in the middle and put up a nice wall

By:
Some Northern parts of the conurbation are rather nice, Sutton Coldfield for example.
