But the other 6 BILLION people I may talk do, have no clue, and talking about "northern ontario" or this case "south uk" is using terminology that only your/my neighbors understand.
That's why (I think) it was mentioned to stop saying that. Nobody knows what South UK is, nor do they really care. Much easier, AND understandable, to say. "I'm from the UK."

I think you have misunderstood. The problem was not the word "south". The 2 guys that have mentioned this are saying that I should say England or Britain... Its the same thing, if anything, more popular, most people would know UK.
I said about the south UK, because in the east, west & north of the UK it has been snowing lots, & we hadnt had any in the south until now! We have just had snow here in the south of... the UK, Britain, England, I dont care....
