They do seem to be more common up North. I think this is probably because, traditionally, Northern ales (such as Tetley) have been served with a large creamy head, whereas Southern ales tended to be brewed to have very little head (for example, Suffolk ales such as Adnams and Greene King always used to be served, in their own pubs, with virtually no head to speak of).
Serving beer with a large head is a big moneyspinner for the large brewers. They are allowed to get away with a head of up to 10% of the volume, meaning that every eleventh pint costs them nothing. This is why they object so strongly to the mandatory use of lined glasses.
They also foster the notion that a large head is somehow normal by only ever showing beer with a large head in their advertising. However, this ignores the variety of regional variations surrounding this matter.

Everybody knows that the correct British response to being served a pint like that is:
“kin’ell mate… do I get spoon with that”.

The pint glass was indeed oversize, with a line about half an inch from the brim indicating where the pint measure was up to
