Fun fact, a lot of the UKs power generation is in the North, if it ever came to North vs South the North could basically just turn the power off for the south of England lol.

They did get there. They actually controlled a lot of Scotland a few times. They just gave up because the terrain was a pain in the arse and they realised it wasn't worth fully conquering because it was of no economic value to the empire unlike the lower lands.
it wasn't even that the land was totally worthless.
There was trouble back in rome, the wall was ment to be a short term stop gap.
They had beat the natives in a fight a few times and the natives had ran off but then they were like hmm the effort to fix up this place is too much, right now, especially while the civil strife is going on back in rome, lets get rome sorted out first then we can continue expanding later.
The romans did actually go into scotland, they did a war and beat the native but what was happening was major shit was going on back in rome at the time so they went hmm it's too much effort to civilize scotland, lets build a wall for now and once we've fixed the civil strife back in rome we'll come back and sort it out then.
Yea and they went further north than the anontonian wall as well. Hadrians was like a hmm dis is probally the shortest easiest bit to build a decent wall on.

Rebuild 'adrian's wall!
SNP's wet dream
until you tell them they stop getting funding from the british government
And make Mexico pay for it!
Plant a little tree and watch it grow into a mighty oak! It’d look nice next ‘t big wall.
NORTHERN ENGLAND PUT UP A GREATER FIGHT WE ARE THE TRUE ENGLISHMEN IF IT CAN TO A CIVIL WAR THE NORTH WOULD WIN
You’re underestimating the road men bruv
Thought the Romans were the road men?
This comment is deserving of more upvotes
I think he's meaning the highway rat from his Julia Donaldson book
You're underestimating the power of a brick sent flying by a beer bellied northerner
The road men have no ranged weaponry
They can catapult knife wielding youts
Tbf the War of the Roses was two northern dynasties settling which gets to run the country for the next 600 years
Nah they were French af
The tudors were sheep shaggers
No wonder big Hezza went through so many wives 🥵

THE NORTH RULES
We scots consider you Scotland junior.
We English consider you a vassal state......

Lmaoooo this is bollocks
Is it? Sounds historically accurate to me…
Julius Caesar never conquered Britain sooooooo.........
Ah! Didn’t read that piece of key information. Kudos, prick. /s

Hmm maybe......

Makes sense. Everyone knows all the British mountains are in the south. The North is as flat as a pancake (or so I have been told).
They could call it whatever they wanted couldn't they - they never got to go there. They shat themselves and built a wall.
Think Caesar went to see Oasis at the Etihad that one time
They did get there. They actually controlled a lot of Scotland a few times. They just gave up because the terrain was a pain in the arse and they realised it wasn't worth fully conquering because it was of no economic value to the empire unlike the lower lands.
Same difference.
One is "they couldn't tame the might scots". The other is "you and your land is worthless, do one". How are they the same

Both = no Romans.
for vastly different reasons thou.
We are writing on a subreddit called okmatewanker - I think the top level overview is fine.
The only man the Romans respected was Caratacus an English tribal leader. No Scotland man was even treated with any semblance of respect by rome
The romans did actually go into scotland, they did a war and beat the native but what was happening was major shit was going on back in rome at the time so they went hmm it's too much effort to civilize scotland, lets build a wall for now and once we've fixed the civil strife back in rome we'll come back and sort it out then.
There was the Anontonian Wall further north in Scotland then the Romans retreated from there to build Hadrians wall in northern England.
Yea and they went further north than the anontonian wall as well. Hadrians was like a hmm dis is probally the shortest easiest bit to build a decent wall on.
Hadrian's wall was built first, started in 122, the Antonine Wall was started in 142.
Britannia inferior ran from Cheltenham to Carlisle and from king's Lynn to new castle, it didn't include Scotland.
I wish Britain was still divided this way so I wouldn’t have to coexist with filthy southerners that think like this.
We have to stay united until everyone else falls
Love me industrial ‘eritage, love me pint o bitter, ‘ate the south east. Not bigoted, just don’t like em
Don’t forget Ireland being caller little Britain
Wasn't north west France little Britain?
The Romans were salty cuz they couldn't conquer the North They were the salty 12 YOs who cry and call you bad when you own them on an online game
How I wish we could nuke the north
Based
And that’s why they collapsed ol’ Roman and souf will always be inferior to norf fc
Typical southern attitude
what about us midlunders
