Pretty much. I used to live above the line and moved to below. Is there a similar line in Germany?

When you put it like that, not really, but I think the 'norf souf' thing is geographically misleading. The area in green (except for the southwest) all speak with the same accent, whereas above the line accents become more noticable and varied. That's what emphasises the 'us & them' attitude.
What would you consider Lincolnshire to be then? I know it's in the Midlands, but I heard the southern part was more linked to East Anglia, while the North was linked to Yorkshire and the Humber

That sounds about right, although I'm not much of an expert on Linconshire specifically. I'd say they belong above the line rather than below it overall. Are you going there?
It's unironically muh heritage, my family was from southern Lincolnshire so I was just curious
It's a difficult one because the line goes right through Lincolnshire. The north of the county includes Grimsby which has all the hallmarks of a dilapidated northern port town, but the south of the county has a lot of rich white people living in semi-rural towns.

Interesting, thank you for your insight
Bitte schön.
can you sketch some sort of dialect map?
>ate' chocolate
is this random or referencing something?
I'm from Lincolnshire. Grimsby and Scunthorpe belong in the North. If you're from Grantham or Mablethorpe, then you have more in common with Southerners than Northerners. We're not the same people. Boston is an odd one, but it's more quaint town - it's got more character to it, just the people are shit or Polish.
My guess if you are from southern Lincolnshire, you're probably descended from farmers. They're good people.
He's mocking how people from Yorkshire speak.
Not even Northerners tend to like people from Yorkshire, as it happens.
It's even a stretch to say people from Yorkshire like people from Yorkshire. They're all vindictive cunts who would kill each other given half the chance.
He was pretty clearly asking about why that post mentioned chocolate specifically.
Sketching a fully accurate map would be painstaking. Ones like this you can find online are broadly correct, but there are some notable errors.
The Welsh accent is not the same for the whole country, the further north you go in Wales they start to sound Scouse (Liverpool).
Also in the West Midlands there's an area called the Black Country which is similar, but has nuanced differences, to Brummie.
A lot more people throughout the OPs map south of the line speak what is called here South East/Estuary, than this map shows too. Essex and South East Midlands is pretty much Estuary.
That was my first interpretation, but I'm a little baffled as to why. I don't think it's a pattern Northern thing to hate chocolate. I've certainly never heard of it being the case.
>I suffer in the Midlands
oh fook off
Yorkshire accent varies from town to town. They could've at least broken it down into the Ridings (which would still be a gross simplification but an improvement). This map is shit.
By all means, post a better one.
South. t. Granthamer
But grimsby etc is Norf. Like other guy said
The Scottish accent varies a bit more as well, they're right about Glaswegian being different, but I can usually tell the difference between someone from Edinburgh and Fife. There's a really annoying posh Glaswegian accent as well
Wales has far more of a North-South divide than England, one that is both geographical and linguistic
southern puff
no, the norf begins once you pass box hill
post the equivalent for your countries
>The Welsh accent is not the same for the whole country, the further north you go in Wales they start to sound Scouse (Liverpool).
somewhat, but only in Northeast Wales
also people from Newport sound different to Cardiff and the Valleys
Pembrokeshire is of course famously very English
the north begins at the m25
imagine reversing the trend of exterminating a minority language within your own country
why would you even do this?
Stretches too high in the East Midlands for me. Personally I'd consider everything north of Leicester to be the north, although I guess that's contentious. It's similar in the West Midlands - I'm from Worcestershire, and northerners would always call me southern and southerners would call me northern. That's probably true of everyone between Birmingham and Gloucester really. The truth is that we have the north, the south, and a corridor that nobody really cares about (but I don't mind that).
>letting the northerners take most of the midlands without a fight
jesus southrons really are limp wristed cucks
why are the english so obsessed with finding a perfect north south divide when they have a place called the midlands
I don't think northerners really want the midlands either desu. Places like Coventry and Wolverhampton are hardly very inspiring
Nah the south should claim Birmingham
