What's the difference between the North and the South of England?

 

And when does the "North" end and the "South" start?

 

In this episode, we'll explore these questions, and touch on differences in accents, lifestyles, and even what people call their evening meal.

 
  • The origins of the north-south divide in England
  • The fuzzy line dividing north and south
  • Common stereotypes of northerners and southerners
  • The impact of the Industrial Revolution on the north
  • The decline of northern industries in the 20th century
  • Margaret Thatcher's role in closing northern coal mines
  • Economic and educational disparities between North and South
  • Regional differences in life expectancy and health
  • Variation in vocabulary and accents across regions
  • Institutional prejudice against Northern accents
