Get a map of England, a ruler, a pencil, and try drawing a line from east to west halfway up (no cheating and including the Channel Islands etc, since they insist on being seperate countries at the Commonwealth Games) . Think you'll find the majority of English units that have been in trouble recently/gone t**s-up are south of it? - although admittedly not too many are based in the (largely) uninhabited and endless wilds of Northumberland to start with....
