If it's got to binary- south. Everyone knows it's easier to be northern the further west you are. The divide cuts the country at one of the natural pinch points i.e. the line from the Wash to the Severn at Gloucester.

Otherwise it's the east, obviously.

It's South. You do meet the odd Northerner on a boating holiday on the broads.
Usually with sunburn.

It’s very North, I need my funny money and passport if going north of J6 of the M25.

Is East Anglia where the yorksire pudding mines are?

Bristol to The Wash, got to be the south, depending what manner of midlands creep into the conversation.

Very East.

In fact, it's so far East you can see it from the West.

East Anglia - deffo South.
@cheers_drive - I now live in Lincoln and have also lived in Suffolk; I would say Lincolnshire is in neither East Anglia nor Midlands.
It's place of it's own but what that is I don't know.

It's less a question of space and more one of time.
Norfolk is five years behind.
Lincolnshire is ten years behind.

Deffo North.

From back home I need to go thru the Dartford border control to be allowed to cross the river to get there.

Having grown up just south of East Anglia, I can definitely, categorically and incontrovertibly state that it is in the north.

As I now live in an area where the word 'the' doesn't exist and people look at me funny when I arsk for a glarse of beer, I can definitely, categorically and incontrovertibly state that it is also in the south.

However, both locations would agree that it is very definitely in the east.

Its just East. Neither the North or South want to be associated with it.

Very South. Met a guy from that area who was his own uncle.

I consider it to be the South East, but it's North East of here, but then almost everything is...

I live in the North and it takes 4hrs driving south to get there. That makes it in the south. As for east? My mum comes from Manea which is a bit east but not very east.

It's on the East coast and, for England at least, it's in the middle.

That makes it the Middle East.

It's north of me, being in Kent.

Though I consider it still to be in the south.

Just like the south of the USA it has lots of inbreeding leading to banjo playing children.

Oh come on guys!
We've done this one to death. There is a definitive answer to this question.
It's well documented and clearly defined within Stuart Maconie's seminal work on the subject, "Pies and Prejudice: In search of the North".
The North undeniably begins in... Crewe

East.

The North begins at the Watford Gap and ends at Berwick, where it becomes The South again.

Half of it is basically London, so it's the south.

You have to cross the Thames to get there: it's The North.

Watford Gap ? 😆
You have missed out the whole of the Midlands !( in the south)
Being generous ..Hull across to Manchester and beyond is where I would say is North on a bad day.
On a good day it's from Scotch Corner across to Penrith...when Yorkshire & Lancashire are then southern northerners as a token gesture.
Obviously we are talking England & Wales here and not the wild untamed lands beyond the northern most border ..

It's the east (but is in the south). It's not the south east because they don't have that horrible esturine accent.

The north (of England) lies north of a line between the Mersey and the Humber. South of that is the Midlands (which is actually a buffer zone to protect us from southerners), where that ends and the sarf begins is anyone's guess and isn't really of any importance. 😆

There are only 2 things you need to know about East Anglia.

1. Never go east of Lowestoft
2. The trig point in Little Ouse reads -1.5m

I'm in Suffolk and considering we get all sorts of weird places like Milton Keynes mentioned on our BBC so called 'local' news, I'm going to say that East Anglia is the East East Midlands.
