Surely the neighbouring counties are the obvious answer? People who live on the borders of these peoples travel to different towns and cities and use different services. Your nearest town or city might not be in your county.

Yeh north Cornwall might as well be Devon. Especially if trying to find work. Found Pembrokeshire very similar too when I was there.

I'm from South Yorkshire and I think we actually probably have more in common with Nottinghamshire tbh than the other 3 Yorkshires. Accents are similar, same type of industry, fame for Robin Hood etc.

Yeh the counties of yorkshire are three distinct places. Everytime I hear someone talking about yorkshire pride I question what they mean. Leeds/Bradford/Halifax west yorkshire is a long way removed from north yorkshire

You're right because here in North Yorkshire we think of South Yorkshire as virtually the Midlands...

Aye the likes of Chesterfield might as well be an ancient colony of South Yorkshire for how similar they are.

What makes it weird though is that all you have to do is travel down the road to somewhere like Matlock and its completely different. Matlock definitely feels like a midlands Town to me but Chesterfield feels Northern.

North Essex. I’d say Suffolk is more like us than south Essex.

I'm from Hull but I used to live in Liverpool and was struck by how many similarities there are. Both rich in history especially maritime, lots of culture, friendly people, largely working class, unique accents, both fell into deprivation, both hated Thatcher, both on rivers.

Bits of Gloucestershire. Especially since bits of south Gloucestershire and North Somerset used to be Avon together.

Antrim and Down are pretty similar because Belfast straddles the border I feel like North Down and South Down are pretty culturally distinct though. South Down was bandit country for the IRA whereas North Down is relatively prosperous and predominantly Protestant Similarly, the more outside Belfast you go, the more Antrim becomes reserved, friendly but opposed to change.

I live in Suffolk, so as much as it pains me to say it Nor.... No I can't do it. Essex or Cambridgeshire I suppose.

Tbf, accent-wise hasn't it got a similar twang to Cornwall and Devon?

Generally the ones that border me in Worcestershire. Gloucestershire, Warwickshire, Herefordshire and the West Midlands. The others don’t have a Wicker Man each year.
