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.
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.
We are all Africans at the end of the day, life started in the rift valley. Some of our ancestors went for a walk, some got further than others, some lost some pigment on the way.

and some took a fancy to their mum/sister/auntie/slightly odd uncle and settled in Norfolk

As a proud Lowestoftian I am Far Eastern. But to most other furreners, 'I'm not an alien, I'm East Anglian'.
Amen brudda
It was straight after Millwall played a pre season friendly against Lowestoft Town FC 'up the medda' in the late 1960's that their fans adopted the 'Noone likes us.. we don't care' and the rest as they say is history
Coincidence? I think not. Did I just make that up? Yes I did.

Nah, East Anglia is not The South.
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.
Has anyone ever looked at their own postings for last day or so? Oh my... so sorry. Was Ullaa
