Example: if I'm on the home page of the current site and want to see if there are any new headlines about my region, I click on "England" in the main navigation and scroll down, where the regions map remembers my selection of "East Midlands"; and the headlines are right there.
New version: no "England" link in the main nav, so I have to go "UK" then "England". Then "Regions" are a separate link in the sub-navigation at the top of the page. Click on that, and it gives me a list of regions. Click on East Midlands and I'm finally there.

I blame the graphic designers; almost every bad thing that happens on the web is their fault, so it seems reasonable to assume this is tooComment
