I was just wondering what the North/South divide ratio was on OT
That's all.

Depends if we can count Scots as Northern
There's a fair few of them. Also depends on birthplace/residence; I consider myself Northern by virtue of my Yorkshire heritage but believe Norwich to be in the South because everyone here says "Grarss" rather than "Grass", etc. But if you look on a map it's lamost level with Nottingham.

The North/South Divide is generally depicted
as a diagonal line going from the estuary (Humber?) at the top of Anglia, down to the Severn at Gloucester-ish.
