Depends if we can count Scots as Northern
There's a fair few of them. Also depends on birthplace/residence; I consider myself Northern by virtue of my Yorkshire heritage but believe Norwich to be in the South because everyone here says "Grarss" rather than "Grass", etc. But if you look on a map it's lamost level with Nottingham.

You're Northern.

The North/South Divide is generally depicted
as a diagonal line going from the estuary (Humber?) at the top of Anglia, down to the Severn at Gloucester-ish.

I consider people northern if they willingly have gravy on their chips.
Silly sods, it should be ketchup!

Gravy on chips is magnificent.

On my jaunts 'up north' over the years
I've always been amazed at both the number of chip-shops in the North and just how cheap they are.

my mate Louise arrived in Liverpool and went for a pizza.
She nearly dropped dead at the price. "I'd pay that for one SLICE in London!"

Fucking hell, that's daylight robbery!

fuck's sake!
I thought £3 a bag was expensive here. Mind you, I haven't been to a chippy in over ten years, so I couldn't tell you what price they are here now.

I bet they're expensive on the pier.

If only I knew someone who'd been on the pier.

It's £5.10 at my favourite chippy, but it's worth paying
Pudding and chips are £3.

I can get large fish and chips for £3.90 not too far from my house

£3.50 here at the last time I had some.

I'm not sure how much it is for standard chips, as that chippy always turns me into a fatty

We have pies. Not puddings.

is there a technical difference between pie and pudding?

Puddings are suet, pies are pastry

Yeah, a pudding is made up from dead racing pigeons, flat caps and whippets.
A pie is made with dead cow.

These puddings are superior to their equivalent pies, I promise you.

It has to be proper chippy gravy, not poofy southern gravy.
