Well there are hills there, but the real 'mountains' are down south in the
province of Limburg

You have been blamed for the fact there are no mountains here in East
Anglia, rumour has it the Dutch came over and stole them all to fill
in some holes . . .

A little taller than you thought though - the Vaalserberg is 322 metres.
You were probably thinking of the Veluwe, whose highest point is about
110 metres.

"Up" North "Down" South. A return journey 'home' for us is always quicker
because it is 'downhill'.

I have to attend a Funeral "Up North" in Birmingham tomorrow. It will take
longer to get there and use more petrol as it is "Up"

Did you know that they take them home with them too? North German
beaches look like the surface of the moon. I do wish they wouldn't dig
holes in beaches, where there is little or no tide.

Convention in the past was always "up" to the larger city or Capital.
Although "north" does seem to be more up than south.

That's right, one went 'up to London' regardless of the starting point.

I wonder if that is from a London vantage point, because round here no one
would think of saying they were going up to London.
From the SW I think they do
