    Indeed, and that would make Margate too far east to be south as well. And Lands End would be too far west.

    Evidently. Their football teams played in the 3rd Division South, not the North.

    On a point of order - most actual locals of the area pronounce Bath the proper way (i.e. without an additional series of non-existent rrrrs)

I came down to London last night because it was even obvious at that point because most train companies said they werent going to run any trains pre 9am that there would likely be no trains at all today. ******* idiots, should have got on the train last night like I did instead of sitting at home watching Surprise, Surprise and X Factor. At least I saved two days monies

    Regarding BBC Breakfast News you seem to be missing the point.
    Do you think if this had happened in the North East that the southern based media would give a tulip?
