That's not the north, north midlands maybe!

Aye.

Mind you I come from south Manchester and that's barely north either,
but it is :-)

I don't go south of Manchester if I can help it, it's well over 100
miles and needs 2 1/2 hrs driving. The map has "Here be Dragons" on
it once you get past Stoke (160 miles, 3hrs+).

Trouble is it gets mildy windy and rains a bit and the "southern
poofters" go into panic the world is about to end mode. Meaning that
they might get slighly wet when outside for the 30 seconds it takes
to get from the front door to the car.

When it gets windy up here, you have to be very careful to a) not get
knocked off balance b) if opening a car door hang onto it very firmly
or the wind will have damn good try at folding it right back against
the side of the car or at the very least half drag you out. As for
the rain, that hurts so much you really don't want to face it.
