If so has anyone ever been to this mythical place?
What creatures does it nurture within its mysty hills and frozen tundra?
I've been North of Hadrian's Wall, if that's what your asking.

Good God! Where on earth is that?
Was`it really north of Southern England?
What were the locals like?

Never fear, Bopa, the locals themselves are savages. Unmarked land on the map, a pit of darkness to civilization as we know it. No worries, if w are to maintain the Wall, we may be able to keep them in the Northern areas of Southern England.
You'll find the colony of Yorkshire, a funny place where the locals speak an incomprehensible language. And eat pudding before it's time for dessert!

Be there dragons?
That's in the west, where there are also a lot of sheep.
Durham's nice.
Like Oxford, only not filled with uppity Southern ponces. ~;)

Bath? Never been there.

By north, do you mean north of Watford Gap? Where the beer is full strength and the men don't prefer sexual liasons with members of the same genital group.

I fear that this North, as we term it, is a frightful place only good for eating puddings before soup.

I thought this thread was talking about Scotland? ~:confused:
Or has it not been discovered yet by civilized peoples?
I stayed one week in the region called Yorkshire. In the town of York, they had a museum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jorvik_Viking_Centre)where they had recreated the smell of Viking feces. Very interesting.

Silly, Scotland is a made-up fairytale land filled with dragons and giants and Glaswegians and other such fantastical creatures.
The idea of "North of Newcastle" is one of these nonsensical physical concepts, like "before the Big Bang" or "inside a Black Hole".

Any thing recent? and plus I do believe the Beatles were Liverpudlians, which is north of bristol, but not right up north, although I would forgive anyone without a map to think it was up north, and anyway, Britain Culturally is completely different everywhere, and quite similar at the same time, I never said they didn't have a culture up north, but its certainly different.
Blackpool: Is their a pool? Yes, is it any good? No. Is it Black? Is it cos I is black? No?
And it goes on from there.
