literally not a real place, you are both southerners
nO, though i do kinda appreciate Leicester being on what I assume is the rich side of the north/south divide. I'm southern now, wheres my 6 figure salary.
as far as i'm concerned, you're whatever BBC weather says you are. Manchester? North West. Leicester? East Midlands. Newcastle? Bitch youre so far from civilisation you just get "look North" haha
