I know my geography's not brilliant - but, north west? 

sorry, just about to set off for work as it were, was thinking of an earlier era when it was probably annexed to a greater Lancashire.......

Nothing 'great' about Lancashire... except the M62 eastbound into Yorkshire...




I sense a WoTR II about to erupt

Rather bizzarely I was on the Lancs-Yorks border a few years ago (I live within 120mm mortar range of the border), right high up on the moors outside Hebden Bridge, and the higher up you go the boggier it gets, so at the top of this particular hill it was like a swamp. AND someone has put a fence up there marking the border!

Question is did Lancashire put it up to keep out the Yorkshiremen and sheep, or did Yorkshire put it up to keep Lancashire folk out? I did get across it eventually 

Sadly you're right about the M62 in terms of wargames, Lancashire has the lowest density of wargamers in the country, and hardly any shows, whereas you lot have tons. This is counterbalanced by the fact that I haven't met a Yorkshire lass that I didn't like 

Good thing about Lancashire is that when the world runs out of potable water, we'll still have plenty. We might even sell the southerners some 

Mark

Historically in late Saxon times Lancashire was unshired lands administered by Yorkshire

I know I left Smoggy land in 1990 to join the Army
but when I left Smoggy was in Cleveland so had nothing to do with Yorkshire unless you went for a walk in the Moors, or went to Whitby that was the only time you went to Yorkshire (to be truthfull why else would you want to go!). 
Teesider and proud of it!

It was the North Riding of Yorkshire when I was born

As an East Londoner  - North West /North East does it matter?    Its all north of Watford Gap and therefore "Up Norf" to me.

Sigh!
The Sarf starts at the Watford Gap, the Norrf starts at the Trent/Humber/Wash/North of the Potteries (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_England)... All the rest that is not Welsh, or East Anglia is the Midlands!

When I was a kid we always said the Norf started at Bristol. 

To an ex-Cape Towner, the north begins at Stellenbosch.
