There's an important thing you should know about England: it isn't really one country. There's The North (cold winds, direwolves, economic deprivation, Winter Is Coming, etc.) and there's The South (ooh la di da look at me with my booming economy, let's focus all economic and infrastructure development on the parts of the country that's already wealthy rather than to the North where it's needed more that's a brilliant idea).

As a child of a northern mother (from north Cheshire) and a southern father (from deepest Hampshire), who grew up pretty much in the Midlands, I've been torn between two worlds. Ruby league or rugby union? Mushy peas or tartar sauce? Long "a" or short "a"? Coronation Street or Emmerdale? Labour or Conservative? THE STRUGGLE IS REAL!

I like Britain. Don't think I'd want to live anywhere else really. Maybe Canada or Australia.
