    There was no power involved, just a big hill and a tailwind.

    Clearly north of me, means your more north than Northampton, thats when you in the north an anything south of Southampton is the south. Logic that is, i learnt that in the pub :D

    It's there for a reason.

    The Picts have acquired ladders. So it's obsolete.

    It's the thought that counts. Especially when it comes to your illustrious leader, Wee Jimmy Krankie.

    Pedantry alert

    Weren't the Picts shafted by the Paddies, called Scots (Clue is in the name) and then some of the same Paddies (Scots) returned to Ulster and everyone lived happily ever after?

    Reminded me of this old jape:

    Nicola Sturgeon travels to England for a meeting with the Queen. Over a cup of tea, the First Minister brings up her grand new plan. ‘Your Majesty,’ she begins. ‘Can we turn Scotland into a kingdom, in order to increase our role in the global economy?’ The Queen shakes her head and replies, ‘One needs a king for a kingdom, and unfortunately you are most certainly not a king.’ Not to be dissuaded, the politician asks, ‘Would it be possible to transform Scotland into an empire, then?’ ‘No,’ replies the Queen. ‘For an empire you need an emperor, and you are most certainly not an emperor.’ Sturgeon thinks for a moment and then asks if it’s possible to turn Scotland into a principality. The Queen replies, ‘For a principality, you need a prince – and you are not a prince.’ Pausing for a sip of her tea, Her Majesty then adds: ‘I don’t mean to appear rude, but having met both you and many other Scots, I think that Scotland is perfectly suited as a country.’

    North actually starts geographically at Cairnryan. Which is 1 mile north of where I am. So I am in the south.

    No, from my geography o-level you take a line from the seven estuary across to the wash, above which no-one does, hence the "black-country".

    Given that this 'North' is cultural not geographical, I think the map gets a bit complicated.

    it's easy, north starts at the marylebone road where postcodes begin with 'n', furthermore any london postcode area number that isn't '1' is, by definition, out in the sticks
