It is north of Watford Gap, therefore it is in the North. You folks go around wearing big fur cloaks, standing on ice walls, and brooding.

That’s the North.
And those of us who live there want no part of Manchester.
The rest of what you say is true. We do look stylish and the pretty ladies do all want us.
Everyone in Michigan knows that “north” means anything above Saginaw(ish).
My apologies - I thought I typed it that way, but I must have pressed the shift key too lightly. I have fixed the original post to be more accurate and respectful of our sworn guardians.

You can’t just make up place names.
Damn right. I took a vow of chastity for you people.

Well, Google is in on the joke, then.
Coming from the man who lives in a country with places like ‘Lyme Regis’…
Yeah, because everything on the internet is true. Wise up, dude.
And, due to my age, it won’t be much longer before I can visit London without bringing my powdered wig along with me…

Why not? Everyone has.
You could be arrested and imprisoned for saying that.

Indeed. Wasn’t that what the whole “Chunnel” fiasco was about some years ago? They weren’t practically the same thing until then, since you had to travel by boat or plane. Now it is just a drive away!
ETA: I should clarify that by “drive” I mean train ride. But they are practically the same thing.

It’s a railway tunnel. Do keep up.
I do know that. But you do “drive” a train, after all. (Well, perhaps not you personally.)
I just find it funny that for such tiny countries they think geographic location is a big deal. If you can drive it in a day, it’s basically the same place.

Too true, too true.
I mean, really, I’m in Michigan, so Tennessee is practically in my back yard!
