May I ask where you are from? My blood is Scottish and I grew up in the North of England and I can tell you that in the late 90s there was a lot of talk of a Northern Assembly to better represent that end of the country versus Westminster, never mind Scottish parliament or independence.
When I used to travel to London (where I now reside) regularly as a child, I was always bemused by how much of a bubble there was around the South East, in terms of people's consciousness, perspective and blunt media focus. There really was - and still moreso is - a curious myopia for anything North of Watford.
I've not lived up North for over twenty years, but I'm pretty sure the sentiment up there's not gotten any weaker... .
