Default wind direction

Hi
In a synoptic chart, if a low pressure lies to the east of the British Isles
and a high pressure to the west, and isobars between the two are
approximately running north/south then in what direction will the wind be
coming from, north or south, and why? Sorry if this seems a basic question
but hopefully someone can help.
TIA
phil
