Stop pretending you are Northern.
What other make believe thing do you think you are? An Elf? An Pixie? An Eskimo?

I am northern.
I'm also a quarter Dutch and that's even more northern.
( girlinthehole, Tue 13 Dec 2011, 13:42, Reply)

More northern?
Have you seen a map recently?
(NoeI «:::P:::» «:::E:::» «:::R:::» «:::V:::» «:::E:::», Tue 13 Dec 2011, 13:44, Reply)

Well slightly more northern.

The most northerly point of the Netherlands is at the same latitude as Grimsby.

(NoeI «:::P:::» «:::E:::» «:::R:::» «:::V:::» «:::E:::», Tue 13 Dec 2011, 13:47, Reply)

Then why do they get so much snow and Grimsby doesn't.

Erm, they don't really
but if they did it would be because they have a continental climate rather than an oceanic one like we do.

I was being silly.
Hence the grin at the end. Surprisingly I'm not as stupid as I appear to be.

sorry, I'm not getting silly at the moment
I blame my lungs' current constant attempts to live a new life outside my body.

I did know it was something to do with climate but not sure how.
So thank you for telling me the answer.

mediating influence of the ocean, innit?
So we're cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter (and wetter all the time) than the equivalent latitude in a large continent like europe or the US.

see also: all of the US bar Alaska.
which is further south than Paris but still gets significant snowfall.

Quarter German and Dutch.
My dad is all British.

It's not that I don't like you people, but I have my subjects to consider. And you'd really be happier with your own kind.

Anything South of Leeds, is fucking France.

You're south of Leeds too, aren't you?

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 13 Dec 2011, 13:49, Reply)

We're the same latitude I think.

(Bear Pookie The Frankly Challenged. Halloween is coming to town., Tue 13 Dec 2011, 13:52, Reply)

Manchester is south of Leeds, I'm sure of it

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 13 Dec 2011, 13:53, Reply)

You're right.
Stoke or Sheffield then.

Annexing the nicer parts of France would be on my list in the long term.

We should start by reclaiming Calais
Then expand from there.

Yes but I need all the range I can muster to find a man.
Cutting off half the country will lessen my chances.

I'll also be increasing your hunting ground by annexing France.
