You need new gears then, because guess what - Manchester IS in the North.

It is FACT.

I see someone has taken the BBC's attitude to where they live.

How is Manchester "halfway up the country"?

Because it is.

monkeyspank · 26 Jul 2007 at 12:05

on which map?

JimmyEatWorms · 26 Jul 2007 at 12:08

On any map you care to look at.

monkeyspank · 26 Jul 2007 at 12:10

halfway up which country?

Hessian · 26 Jul 2007 at 12:12

It may be half-way up if you include Scotland, but it is definitely the north of England.

monkeyspank · 26 Jul 2007 at 12:15

You don't include Scotland when you're talking about the country of England. Might as well include France and Spain then, that makes it North.

TheCrow · 26 Jul 2007 at 12:21

BBC = English Broadcasting Corporation - no its not just england, they are talking about the whole country.

And because its north of england its not north, its north england.

JimmyEatWorms · 26 Jul 2007 at 12:21

Given that we are talking about the BBC...what does the first "B" stand for?

monkeyspank · 26 Jul 2007 at 12:23

British.

I'd probably agree with that. It's absurd to say Manchester is in the North... it's halfway up the country!

Because Britain isn't really a country any longer, and the BBC represents four nations and not just one.
