I dunno why but I always feel that Manchester & Merseyside are different to the rest of the North West.
As much as we give each other shit, we have a lot of similarities and I feel more at home in Liverpool than Cumbria or Preston.
It’s always funny seeing outsiders place Essex as “North London” when there’s a vast and obvious cultural difference between the London-border part of Essex and the Suffolk-border parts of the North. Colchester and Brentwood are basically different planets.
Strangely enough this isn’t the first time i’ve seen people from Hampshire describe the place they grew up as being like South Central.
Also had somone in all seriousness tell me living in Lincoln is like living in the Bronx.
