The actual story from The Daily Mail.

As for the guy who wrote about it in the article that DS linked, at Leigh being in the "cold, forbidding north of the United Kingdom." Maybe he should try looking at a map instead of trying to be oh-so clever.

Manchester is in the North. The Far North.

They mean Northern England when they say Northern U.K., as "Northern U.K." encompasses the North of England and all of Scotland.

I'm at you for not knowing that.

Yes, it is in the North of England, but Manchester and Leigh are about 160 miles from London -- closer to London than to Edinburgh (which is in the south-east of Scotland).

Not sure who these "they" is of whom you speak. It wouldn't include many Scots in my experience.

Yeah, it did me too until I read where they were. It's par for the course up there with the Yorkists.
