For me trunking to Birmingham most nights I personally class the Thirlwell viaduct as my north/south divide. I think mainly due to being in Carlisle. Just wondering where everyone else feels it is.

River Tyne.

M5 - M6 Junction.

North/South? What about an East/West thing? In the South at least, IMO, cockneydom starts at Swindon. Take Mark Lamarr. Well, mockneydom at least. I was quite shocked to read in a old Shell guide to the UK, that Bristol was in the chapter “The Midlands”, though I swear I have detected in the indigenous Bristolian some Brummie influences, e.g. I have heard browery for brewery.

Cardiff, Brizzle, London, Cambridge downwards is south.

Stoke, Nottingham, Skegness upwards is north.

The bit in between is hated by both southerners and northerners.
