Consumer news with Julian Worricker. Is the North South divide myth or reality?

Back in 2000 the then prime minister, Tony Blair, said there was no north-south divide...but rather a divide between the haves and the have-nots. Now, though, the north-south divide is back on the political agenda. The announcement of detailed cuts in different government departments, due to be unveiled later this autumn, will - it's claimed - hit the North, far more than the South. So what's your experience of the north-south divide.....is it real, is the gap widening, and what do you believe will happen to it over the coming few years when government cutbacks hit home? We're going to be examining this issue in Call You & Yours tomorrow...so your thoughts in advance via the phone or e-mail will be very welcome.
