Does England exist north of the Watford gap?

At the moment I'm watching any news to do with interest rates and the housing market with interest as I wouldn't mind moving at the moment.

The problem is that every time I see an article on the subject, it seems that it only includes data South of Watford.

So really the headline: House Prices in England Fall means a whole lot of nothing up here in the northern parts of the country where the total opposite could have happened. If we are not in England, and not in Scotland, where are we?

Perhaps the Yorkshire indepandance party won their struggle and I didn't even realise.
