That's the bit I was on about yes. Not to be confused with the soggy maritime bits which don't have any people in either.

Incidently, my picture has that dark box extending all the way to the central belt of Scotland. Are there many car show rooms in the borders? If there are then the OP might be on to something?

In answer to your question not many.. As a quick test look at Search Vauxhall Dealers | Local Car & Van dealerships - Vauxhall Motors UK

and note the gapping large gap between Alnwick and Musselburgh.

Then do the same for Gretna Green....

There's a West Cumberland Farmers tractor showroom at Tarset and you can buy remote controlled cars from a bloke in Selkirk, but I don't think they count.

Do you mean the square bit to the East of Newcastle, 40,000 km to the East that is, or the same one immediately to the West of Newcastle?

Very good images by the way.

You seem to be asking a Suity type question with important bits of information drip fed into the thread as desired. What exactly are you looking for manufacturing centres or service centres. In both cases you won't find many in Northumberland and Cumbria as there is neither the infrastructure to distribute the goods (if the former) or demand for servicing (if the later)...

There should be a very small but dense cluster around Whitehaven, representing the power station and the tech companies that service it.

Here is a satellite image of North Korea (For those who struggle with geographic things, it's the bit in the middle with no lights, between South Korea at the bottom right of the picture, and China at the top of the picture)



Interesting, but not strictly relevant. However the same article has this image of the UK:



What was the original question? Why is there a square bit with no car show rooms? I can't see the original map, but the described area appears like a square bit with no people in - perhaps there is some correlation?

I really am very sorry, I made my criticisms thinking your first language was English, it obviously isn't, so sorry once again.

Pure General Gold....!

See, you really just come across as a bit of an ignorant oik with not much going on for you...

...but the other 3 who had to have the concept that you can get to the west of anywhere outside the poles by going east because the work is as it happens is round really display a form of stupidity I have not seen on here in a while.

Any chance you could put that in English for us, old chap?

[minestrone]

Actually, I admitted it was a mistake pages ago, it was an edit to a post, it factored as quite unimportant to me really.

It was you 4 goons who made a far bigger mistake making absolute cockwombles out of yourself going after me for it.

[minestrone]

I made a word wrong, you posted absolute pish over 2 sentences. Who is more wrong?

You made a mistake, everyone knows you made a mistake, or you don't know East from West, yet you post this bollocks instead of just admitting your mistake. Tit.

[minestrone]

Until you get a grasp of left = west and right = east I think anything to do with maps is a trifle ambitious for you. Oh! And top = north and bottom = south as well.
