North starts above the M25, fight me. Midlands are a myth.
Norfolk is Midlands (Costa del Sol)
So is this based green welly ownership? More green wellies = South. Basically: poshness.
Whilst there is a divide it’s London and the rest.
If Cheshire is pink, Shropshire should be too.
Peoples Republic of Merseyside should really be a whole separate thing of its own.
Norfolk? In the south.
Naaa it’s in the name
Ey up, put Rutland in the South if Cheshire is the South
Manchester is not in the Midlands. Totally ridiculous. Mancunians rarely think about anywhere south of Macclesfield. If you were a Mancunian, you would know that.
There is an argument that it is not truly the North either.
It actually stands alone. It is booming, in a way neither the Midlands or the North are.
Nah, Cheshire’s just the Essex of the north. Having teeth whiter than your Rangey Evoque isn’t really a southern thing.
I’m from Cheshire…. yeah, having that..
North / South = Gravy / Saveloy
Brutal.
South Yorkshire. Protecting the North’s southern border since 1974.
God, I love being so close to the border that I can lick it. Get called northern by people below and midlands by people above.
Why is Cheshire pink?
Manchester is most definitely a northern city. You have to drive over the moors to get to it from Leeds. It has most of its industrial Victorian infrastructure still. The people think and act like ‘northerners’. It may have a cosmopolitan centre but you only need to drive for 10 minutes from the centre to see its suffering like everywhere else in the north.
Can people just stop using these awful “county” borders? Lancashire, which includes Manchester and Liverpool, is in the north, and Cheshire, including the Wirral and Stockport, is in the midlands. It’s not difficult.
Why you have west midlands as a separate area shouldn’t they come under a county like all the other areas? Shropshire Warwickshire etc
Not South is North
If we can have Cheshire, you can have Cornwall.
Is this Ragebait?
If Manchester ain’t north, Merseyside isn’t either – I’m in Newcastle and neither of them are north, they’re right in the middle of us and London.
If you’re putting Cheshire in the south, you need to put North Yorkshire and Northumberland there too
What the fuck is this nonsense… Like, really. Manchester in Midlands. Norfolk and Kent and Cornwall in the same region, nah, you gotta split them up.
There are some parts of the North that are further South than the South.
No.
Yep, Wigan in the Midlands and Runcorn, 15 miles from Liverpool, is Southern.
Great job mate
I feel as though it is quite well known that the Midlands line follows that North shropshire/ south Cheshire border line to and crosses Derby from thst border triangulated point of Staffordshire, Derby and cheshire to the triangulated point for derby/South yorkshire/Notts and continues to the coastal north of Lincolnshire.
North Derby is northern but the majority is Midlands.
This is well known factual stuff.
From Cambridgeshire, went university in Leicestershire.
I fully agree with both placements. My accent stuck out so much in the local pub I worked in while at uni.
Rage Bait.
No sane person thinks Manchester is in the Midlands along with Wigan, Bolton etc.
Grow up mate
Greater Manchester in the midlands?
Would’ve thought I’d be midlands, but apparently I’m just barely south
East forgotten as usual.
I would argue everywhere outside of Cambridge in Cambridgeshire is midlands. Cambridge itself can be sent so far south that it could be Satan’s little holiday home
Cheshire!?!
There is nasty, malicious trolling and there is top quality nonsense-that-still-triggers bait like this. I love it!
Bravo, OP. Now do one where Hampshire is in the North.
Bollocks
If chester can be considered south, can we also call south Yorkshire south as well.
I just want the chaos
Lol some angry mancs in here
Cornwall isn’t UK and neither is Norfolk if you’re lumping Cheshire into the south.
What’s up with the latest trend of non-colourblind friendly north/south/midlands divide maps? Didn’t even realise Cheshire was coloured the same as the South until I saw a comment about it. And Manchester is frequently referred to as the ‘capital of the North’, so why is it grouped with the Midlands?

Manchester in the Midlands???
Cheshire I get…
Crewe and Ellesmere Port are the south
Fair enough but the East/ West divide?
