    It's amazing what difference one definite article can make to a pedantic thread.

    Correction: but geographically, it's the south east of the UK.

      It may be South East on a Map but it is not considered to be 'the' South East, that ends somewhere in Essex or possibly Herts.
      Suffolk is in East Anglia.

      The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

      But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

        I'm not talking about regional names, I'm talking about cardinal points. Divide the map of the Uk into 4 quarters, and Suffolk is in the south east. What regional govt chooses to call istelf is irrelevant.

          That may be true, but when someone asks me what I think of the South East, I wouldn't be thinking of Suffolk, I'd be thinking Home Counties and Greater London.

            And that's why people get so annoyed at Lunneners. Even people barely 25 miles away are counted as 'not us'

              The North starts 25 miles from London, it be lands end. After that the rest of the UK is Marsh and Swamp land. Best live ye life within 25 sq miles of the UK. You go elsewhere at your peril.

                  I am extremely glad not to be counted as one of them. The are very welcome to their stinking fetid tuliphole of a city, and all the tourists they love so much, and their rubbish derivative stand up comedy about which part of it you are from - as if anyone cares.

                    The problem with Wales is!

                    We have Northerners and Southerners for neighbours
