Be sure to add "unknown", "unsure" "hyphenated"

You will need to define north and south.

See what your glance caused?

I couldnt and wouldnt define my self as a northerner or southerner.

So where does that leave the majority of Man U supporters? Clearly they are not all northerners. And anyone who follows chelsea, bar about 20,000 who predate russian money are not real fans anyway, they just tagged along due to the glamour.

The question wasn't "where were you living before you moved to Canada?" which is rather different to whether or not you consider yourself a northerner.

A better poll might have separated South-East and South-West. I spent most of my life in South-West england and it's a very different mindset and environment to the South-East.

Very true.

As a Southerner I want no link what so ever with Weston-Super-Mare. The people and pidgeons have two heads!
