I would say that it is in East Anglia but the heading in the Club's Talk of the Town email said "OUR SEASON ENDED WITH A TRIP TO THE SOUTH EAST"! I guess these things are all relative but there is no way I would regard Ipswich as being in the South-East!

Huddersfield is in Yorkshire & also the North of England. So Ipswich is in Suffolk which is also in SE England. East Anglia is just a generic term covering a region which (arguably, given that Norwich is further north than Birmingham) stretches into the Midlands. Except it doesn't, because the Midlands doesn't really cover East Anglia.
Simples.
Your task, should you choose to accept it, is to explain all that to an American.

As defined in the International Territorial Level (ITL) geocode standard for referencing the subdivisions of the United Kingdom for statistical purpose, its in TLH, the East of England. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_of_EnglandAll clearly shown on this map, which has South West, South East, London, East of England, East Midlands, West Midlands, North West, Yorkshire & The Humber and the North East.

Good of you to put in all that effort but that would mean we don’t live in the North of England wouldn’t it?

Correct, we live in Yorkshire & The Humber.... not sure why anyone would need any other designator since that trumps everywhere else.

It's obviously in East Anglia. A more contentious and [soon to be] relevant debate is "Where is Cambridge?"

TBF Yorkshire has a similar problem. For example, if you're looking for flights most airlines have either "north east" or "north west" as their filter on the menu to choose your departure airport. If you want to fly from Leeds Bradford, it's categorically neither... why can't they just have Yorkshire as a category? Racists.

While we’re here, isn’t it time this country had a proper east/west hatred going on?
I mean, north/south has been done to death. We should be encouraging more animosity between the folk of say, Lowestoft and Hereford

But then again, we're signposted as "The Midlands" from the M11, but we're not. That starts at Peterborough. I once lived in Kent, that's definitely South East, no question. Could be a long summer.

Wait until we've dropped a few more divisions and we're trying to work out the vagaries of the non league tier system with all their complex names for regional leagues. An absolute minefield.

Not letting me quote the map posts, which are just shite. That isn't Yorkshire, which consists of Three Ridings ( just ask your M.P.) Yes they still exist, and include all the other places nicked by other Counties like Middlesbrough, Yarm, Sedbergh, Dent and Saddleworth etc etc. Yarm even has signs stating North Riding, because Stockton Borough got sick of their cash cow voting to leave. Even Redcar has signs saying welcome to the Yorkshire coast. Anyway, there will never be anywhere called Yorkshire and the Humber as far as I'm concerned......but ffs, lets get back to foorball.

I use to live in Oldham in the 90's and just two miles out of Oldham was the sign YORKSHIRE, they hated being classed as Greater Manchester. By the way, Ipswich is Suffolk and in the East of England.

We should be encouraging more animosity between the folk of say, Lowestoft and Hereford I believe the law which allows a Welshman (or woman) to be shot by crossbow in Hereford if they are caught out after curfew has yet to be repealed. Should Hereford ever get to the Championship would make midweek away games quite interesting for Cardiff and Swansea fans. Well it’s better than the speculative posts on the AB thread.

The Law Commission couldn’t find any evidence that this or similar mythical laws ever existed. They stated: “It is illegal to shoot a Welsh or Scottish (or any other) person regardless of the day, location, or choice of weaponry”.
