Yes but that's quite hard on anyone with a W who wasn't the person in question.

Wastwater97?

Oh God! I hope we haven't got a wastwater97! I'm outta here!

The north west consists of Cheshire, Cumbria, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Merseyside, so I don't think there's such a thing as a NW sounding name

Wally from Westmorland?

A name can suggest where a person lives (not necessarily recommended if trying to preserve anonymity) and a "one off" poster could make that mistake. Sauchiehallstreetnan might have a certain ring to it?
Come to think of it, Dorsetpennt may or may not be from Dorset, Norfolkdumpling is another, but you see what I mean.

I thought the north started at Wolverhampton

I was told there was a line between The Wash and The Severn and anywhere from there upwards was north, with little houses all joined in never-ending terraces.
The view of someone I met when I moved from 'up there' down south

No, no Galen north of Wulvrampten is still Midlands
North starts at the Cheshire border

I thought the North started at the Watford Gap.....

I always think that the Midlands go up to the Humber, and the North above the Humber

but, if you draw a line across, that puts Sheffield, Doncaster, Wakefield, Huddersfield, Manchester, Liverpool in the Midlands GandTea - although I suppose Southport is called Southport for a reason

It'll be called Southport because it's south of Scotland. Makes sense.

The Angel of he North, with it's welcoming outstretched arms/wings, is at Gateshead.

The name 'South-port' first appeared in 1798. Records say that a small stream (nicknamed the 'River Nile') found its way onto the beach near Sutton's Hotel. The sea ran up some distance inland, forming an estuary. Tradition speaks of a 'fine bay of eleven fathoms of water within half a mile from the shore, where vessels occasionally lay securely at anchor.' To the local fishermen and farmers of that time, it was a port. It is not surprising that the new village lying South of the 'Domesday Book' village of Churchtown should have been re-named 'Southport' - a name which is retained, and as it is written at present, since 1826.

London is north to me

London is East to me. I am south east.

I am south East - you are Midlands to me * jing*

Jalima, South of the Humber is Lincolnshire, no way is that North, East, Yes. I think of North as Co. Durham, Northumberland, Cumbria, North Riding. When I drive North I don't feel I've got there until I see that Angel.````````````

I was born in the West Riding of Yorkshire and we think it's very definitely "North". Midland starts south of South Yorkshire to us.

I was born in York. Don't think of myself as a Northerner.

In the Scottish Borders where I grew up "down South" could be applied to Newcastle

Jalima I used to live in Southport

I'd like to live in Southport
