ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

North-South divide in England

In England, there is a divide between the northern and southern regions. It's like the north and south parts of a pizza.

The North includes cities like Manchester, Liverpool, and Newcastle, while the South includes cities like London, Bristol, and Southampton.

This divide has been around for a very long time and refers to the differences in lifestyle, economy, and history between these regions.

People from the North may have different accents and traditions than those from the South, kind of like how some people put ketchup on their pizza and others don't.

Unfortunately, the North is generally considered to be poorer than the South, meaning that there may be less jobs and money available. This can make it harder for people in the North to have the same opportunities as those in the South.

But it's important to remember that even though there are differences between the North and South, we're all still part of the same pizza (or country)!
