I am intrigued...(and perhaps @the_bertrum can illuminate somewhat ?) if you hail from 'the North Midlands' does that imply there is a 'South Midlands' ?
Or perhaps even an East and West Midlands ?.....or a North Northlands.. Mid Midlands...East Southlands et al ? How do these things get named ?
Down our way (similar sized land mass) it's all cities named after dead Englishmen and first arrivals....apart from the Islands themselves which are... err-um
'North Island' and 'South Island '.... hmmm perhaps I now see how it happens :-)
Welcome LeighP !
