Over the hills and far away....well, actually, not so far away geographically speaking. I could travel by car to my hometown in about an hour and culturally there is more similarity than difference; however, they are two distinct cultural areas: hometown was in Lancashire, new home is in Yorkshire. I am on the other side of the Pennine mountains, so literally over the hills:P Historically the two regions have had strong links and equally strong rivalries/wars.
