Its just a name at the end of the day. But I feel no affinity at all with those areas north of us. Personal preference I suppose.mall wrote: ↑Sat Feb 04, 2023 4:31 pmYou could say the same for Lancashire. Lancastrians are not interested in Barrow.

The language, accents, general demeanour north of the county is nothing like around the Furness/duddon estuary area. Anywhere that calls a bun a teacake is no area of mine!![]()
Millom has always been in Cumberland/Cumbria but no one north of it is interested. Seems to be a black hole around the duddon estuary that neither county has much interest in. Perhaps a breakaway county is in order
