(I have a thoroughgoing antipathy to the formerly used nomenclature of "North Britain". As you might expect.)
GregP Jun 2016 2:00pm, 21 Jun 2016 82,754 posts	0 GregP I have a very particular definition of 'northern england'. New-CASSEL and Carlisle are too far north to be northen. The north of border-ish sort of region is an entity unto itself in my book. Then we have Derby. That's too far north to be in the midlands and too far south to be in the north, surely?
GregP Jun 2016 2:01pm, 21 Jun 2016 82,755 posts	0 GregP Mid Essex is a bit weird too. We're north of Watford and south of Watford gap. I consider us part of East Angular, but Glenn and TRO would probably claim we're too south for that.

GlennR Jun 2016 2:16pm, 21 Jun 2016 20,031 posts	0 GlennR I think I'm with Greppers re north. Scotland is not the north and Carlisle and Newcastle are too far flung. I do tend to count Chelmsford and Stansted as east angular, but couldn't define exactly where the border is between them and the east.
Wriggling Snake Jun 2016 2:20pm, 21 Jun 2016 12,136 posts	0 Wriggling Snake I went to Uni in Nottingham and once loudly commented, in a taxi rank at something like 2am, that Nottingham was in the midlands. I got chased out of town, quite literally. To this day I think it's because I was obviously incorrect, rather than being a southern student jessie. but I cold be wrong.
GregP Jun 2016 2:26pm, 21 Jun 2016 82,756 posts	0 GregP I'll have another run at my Derby problem then. I understand 'East Midlands' - it's got Doddighab and Leicester in it. I understand 'West Midlands' - that has Birmingham and Argie. Derby fits into 'neither of the above'.
