I lived in Basingstoke for a while, (horrible place), they all thought I was 'Northern'.
The North basically starts on the North edge of your town, if you are this side of Birmingham |  |

Had many debates about this when I was at Uni (Leeds) given we were students from across the country. General consensus was that the southern borders of Yorkshire and Lancashire pretty much cut across the country from east to west and roughly in line with the top of Wales - and are the start of t’North.
Folks from Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire tended to be comfortable with being classed as the northern part of the Midlands because their local ITV station was ITV Central. Folks from Cheshire tended to object because they were covered by Granada - even though if you look on a map they were parallel with Lincs/Notts/Derbys.
Folks from Tyne and Wear and Cumbria would always say Yorks/Lancs were southerners simply to wind them up but were mostly just joking.
And most folks had no idea what East Anglia was - but when you see on a map that Norfolk is level with Leicestershire and Suffolk with Warwickshire they would often lump me in with Midlanders in the Northerners vs Midlanders vs Southerners debate - which was odd because I’ve never considered Ipswich as part of the Midlands. |  | | |

When I lived in Nottingham, anyone from further north described Nottingham as the south and those from further south described it as the north. For that reason, I would say it is Nottingham the dividing line. |  |

Where the South finishes |
Spent weekend near Harrogate. Road sign, couple of miles prior to joining A1(M) sign posted The North & also The South so guess that must be where North starts, or ends. |  |

Being simple, I like to keep it simple. Draw a line between the Wash and Bristol Channel - Above the line is the north.
When the U.K. breaks up I’d like to see a return to the countries of pre Athelstan (around the 950s) of Wessex, Northumbria, Mercia and East Anglia. We were much happier in the days of pillage plunder, pottage and fighting the Vikings, Welsh and Scots |  | | |

My other half is from Nottingham. She takes great (mock) offence when I rather tongue-in-cheek refer to her as 'Northern'. She does say 'cob' for 'roll' though and has introduced me to a number of baffling Midland-/Northern-isms, which have caused me to 'look at her gone out' ('looked at her in a strange/baffled/suspicious/dubious way). | | | |

Anywhere above the Trent.... so if you drew a line across from Stoke, Nottingham etc, everything above that is the north. |  |

The most northerly outposts of the South are Stoke, Chester, Derby and Lincoln. Anywhere above that (Manchester, Liverpool, Chesterfield, Grimsby) are The North. |  | | |

Had a Geordie mate at Uni. To him, anything below York was the South
But for me I'd say Stoke and Derby are Midlands, Sheffield and Manchester are the north |
Certainly from someone who has always lived in South Yorkshire, it's definitely up north, midland starts just below us in Chesterfield, so I think the northern border is Sheffield/Rotherham | |

I go with the Roman view that the dividing line between the North (Britannia Inferior) and the South (Britannia Superior) is a kinky line between The Wash and the Mersey.

There's no way Chester is in the Midlands / South.
Cheshire is north. | |
