Why the name North:
- It's simple, short, memorable & people wont get tongues in
a twist, not knowing whether to pronounce in English or
German, initials "NRW"
of a group name that would sound very different in English
& German.
- We are North & West of Munich,
- North of the Alps,
- South East of Dover England,
- In the West but not North of Germany,
- The Region name is North
Rhine Westphalia, a long mouthful, &
pronouncing NRW
in English & German is very different
- So North is our short easy name for if a newcomer
asks in either language "Are you part of the North
group ?"
PS: & WEST, we can debate over a barbeque & beer ;-)
Aachen is West most city in NRW
& .de, & was first West
German city liberated in WW2
