Back woodsman, when you say you are a "northerner" but if you said "this country" then there's the dichotomy. How would anyone know where you are talking about?
To square the circle we have to assume that when someone says they are "northerners" or from the "North" they mean "of England" but when they say"this country" they mean Great Britain"..... !
Walter Scott sometimes signed himself NB meaning North Britain so he was very clear about his Union credentials.
