Does anyone in this part of the world consider themselves to be Southern? Or Northern for that matter.
I certainly don't, so far as I am concerned I am neither Northern nor Southern, I am East Anglian. Separate from both of them and something which , for better or worse, we share with the Nodgers.

Sorry Geoffrey, but you belong to the South. That line from the Wash to Bristol is definitive and unarguable. The moment you cross it, everything smells different.
Kind of.
South of the Wash is South, I'll give you that, unless it is East of it too, in which case, it is the East. Not the South.

Ok, so this could get complicated
I live on the south coast and have done for 40 years but NEVER describe myself as a southerner
I was born on the wonderful island of Ireland and if asked what my nationality I am proud to say "the same as God's I'm Irish"
I moved around a lot as a kid but lived mainly in different parts of East Anglia, and still have a bit of a accent, which gets worse when Im tired or want to annoy Mrs O
If I asked where are you from I also reply I'm an East Anglian and my home town is Ipswich.
Born in Pimlico (so just about a cockernee). Raised in Balham (gateway to the south) until I was 18.
Life-long family connections to Suffolk, where we moved 31 years ago, after time in Manchester and Wolverhampton.
