It is indeed all relative, but the term 'The North' tends to
refer to northern England, rather than the UK as a whole.
Scotland isn't in 'The North' at all, Scotland is just
Scotland

That only applies if you are in England ! This is, as already
mentioned **UK**.sci.weather :-)

It is indeed UK sci.weather but we are talking about the
term 'The North' which is generally accepted as being
in realtion to northern England, the road signs etc.

It's so delightful to talk to people who not only know that 'UK'
and 'England' are not synonymous, but who actually understand
the difference VBG
