   Mr Adams is not saying anything new, I learn't about the Watford Gap and   
   associated hills being the dividing line between Anglo-Saxon and Viking   
   rule at school and the reasons why. He's also over-egging the   
   north-south divide bit as it is more a south and west, east and north   
   divide.  There's reason why Lancashire and Yorkshire are traditional rivals.
