I like the last statement: “The North” is not a place, it’s a state of mind.
For the record I'd say anywhere above Derby

a poor version of the wonderful count von essinger line in this episode of colditz.

"poland is more of an emotional concept than a country".

I’d agree with you. To me, Derbyshire, Notts and Staffs are the northern-most Midlands counties and so the North starts just above them.

However, I’d be interested to know how anyone from those counties sees it. It does seem to be as much a psychological identity thing as a geographical boundary.

The northern tip of Derbyshire is further north than the centre of Manchester so those residing there have to be northerners.
