Right, being as pedantic as I am, this has always confused me.....
I say..... I'm going up to London, I'm going down to Liverpool..
Geographically that makes no sense at all, but etiquette taught me that you only ever go up to London and you go down to everywhere else....
am I the only nutter that does this or please tell me there are more?

For me it's a little more local, just towns and stuff:
Up the Cross.
Down the Pond.
