Thread Name: Cultural: *Down* to Yorks from London?
Subject: Cultural: *Down* to Yorks from London?
It just feels off when my audiobook tells me someone's going "down" to Yorkshire from London... when I think I have it right that they're going north and uphill.
What am I missing? (Is it a class prejudice thing where London akways has to be referred to as more up-er than Yorkshire? Being in the parallel part of PA gave me that idea.)
Hearing it a lot as I listen thru JS Fletcher titles at www.librivox.org's catalog.
Thanks for any help!
