My home network isn't great and also not so useful in the garden so I'm looking at ways to improve it. I've currently got my router upstairs and 2 Powerline devices around the house to create WiFi hotspots and enable ethernet devices to plug in. One being my desktop and the other a Youview box. I don't have an easy way of directly running ethernet cable from the router to those devices. I don't have smart devices as I find Alexa/Google to be kinda creepy. I was thinking of replacing with a WiFi mesh network to make WiFi seamless. I figure I'd probably need a couple of extenders that have ethernet output to plug in those wired devices. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I've seen positive talk about the Eero but the extenders don't seem to have an ethernet option.

The eero locks you into their ecosystem and isn’t that great in my experience. I made a mesh with Linksys Velops and it’s amazing, much better than my old eero.

I’ve got the Orbi system and it’s been good. The satellite is connected wirelessly (though there is option for wired) and it’s done a great job - the internal walls in my house are really thick, in the office upstairs I could barely get a signal with my virgin router and now it’s super fast.

I think for a lot of people in the south, the North basically starts wherever people have an accent which isn't just some variant of estuary English, so it can't be clearly delineated geographically. Same applies to 'the South West' as well.

Avon just means river. E: Four in England, two in Scotland, various other bodies of water called Avon in both.

None of them are in Wales though, but they are all in places where Middle Welsh was widely spoken, so presumably multiple cases of Anglo settlers pointing at a river and demanding to know what it is and getting the obvious answer.

The North starts wherever you stop seeing motorway signs directing you to THE NORTH

I would shift the border of the north down slightly as your map puts Sheffield outside the North which is clearly not accurate. I think you can draw a line from Ellesmere to Chesterfield, and then from Chesterfield to the Humber bridge and thats the boundry betweeen midlands and the north

Failed Imagineer posted:Mad that I never made the connection since the Irish for river is "abhann" The River Bann here in Co. Antrim might just mean River River then.  Although Wikipedia does say An Bhanna translates as The Goddess (i assume in Old Irish).

There's also Breedon on the Hill in Leicestershire, from the Celtic bre, the Old English dun, and modern English. Hill on the hill on the hill.

Having lived in Warwickshire in Southam near Leamington Spa for a couple years in 2008 i can say that very much felt like where the divide was noticeable. Weirdly knackered town with a fancy grocery store and polo ground for toffs with silly outfits, but also two local cafes and pubs full of folks who were salt of the earth hard working northern types who were born there and would die there and would mutter angrily about £11 organic chickens from Budgens bringing misery to all. Oh, but everyone voted tory. Of course.

Streeting is so next up to bat isn't he? The perfornative bullshit to get "sensible" types to point to him and say "see! Isn't that what you wanted? Why can't you radicals grow up and fall in line?? Get the tories out!" is really peaking.
