I have never been there but I am really strange in the I want to visit even the places like that in the UK so that I have personal experience of them when they come up in the news, etc. My partner is from 'up north' and I think my vision of the UK has been enriched simply by spending more time up there and seeing the UK outside of London. Of course, it usually shows me that I am a Londoner but at least I know from experience now.
