S'why I specified England, in a depserate (and dyslexic) bid to support my position 
The map on the back of the 1998 AA road atlas (we get all the latest aids in this office!) puts the line through the middle of the dot for Stafford, shame about Cornwall hanging down like that....Actually if you split England into thirds on a north-south scale, even Leeds is in the Midlands, which has its southern edge about along a line level with Luton....ok, swap 'not in the northern linear third of England', or 'more than an hour and a half down the A1 from Newcastle while broadly complying with the national speed limit while negotiating the traffic' for 'down south'? (and ignoring Scotland, Wales, Ireland, the Isle of Man etc).
Have any units closed in the last couple/few years in the area between Manchester/South Yorkshire and the Scottish Border? (Lancaster doesn't count, that was a takeover)
But of course this will all change dramatically if the Cornish Nationalists get their way }
