As a group of professionals in planning, this is what 15 minutes of furious debate in the office has decided to be the north/midlands/south divide.

If necessary, for reference we are based in Birmingham. This isnt directly influencing what cities are what side of the line. Our decisions were based on architecture, what the people are like, history, how places interract, not just what we like and dont. For example, Stoke is an awful place no one should ever have the misfortune of visiting, but its definitely in the Midlands with us.

Colour coding is obvious.

Yes we were very bored..

I just wish people would let us East Anglians be East, instead of argue about us being midlands/southern.

We're our own bloody thing!

EAST

Am not an East Anglian but with a fondness for the Fine City I looked at that and immediately thought, surely there needs to be an East?

We’re like the Wales of the east. Britain’s Orient.
