Railway convention. Trains towards London are "up trains"

A non-rail convention is that you go "up north" and "down south"

In some places you go "up country" meaning away from the city.

In other places you go "down to the country" for a weekend

Choose your favourite convention.

I'm sure he would - this quiz has harvested 60+ posts out of one question, mostly idle chit-chat, which must be getting near to his record. ''Twas a good job you revived it for him after a six month hibernation. I hope he thanks you if you ever meet.

Where would you be if going up would mean finding cats?
I meant up as in up up.....
No, it's not in the UK.
It's sort of a high city
European
The country only has one of the vowels
The country HAS been mentioned
And if you're looking for a list of countries, you could look here https://www.countries-ofthe-world.com/countries-of-europe.html but it would throw you off because it's WRONG !!

There is another european country which also only has the same vowel. It hasn't been mentioned yet.

Can't see it. If you came from 'up' north, you'd be going 'down' to London, surely?

In "railway speak" all "up" lines run towards London, "down" lines away from London - which makes it "going up to London". Of course if you live in Lansachire or Yorkshire it gets more awkward as the "Lanky" (Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway) ran east west, so round here it's "up" towards Manchester (regardless of what Yorkshiremen might think)

I'm sure one day we will. I'm hoping to take Notch for a beer in Aldeburgh at the end of the month.. its nice if we can all get on all be it we disagree.

Anyway what's the question?

You go "up" to a principle place. Regardless of where you are in England, you go up to London.
