Hi

I have counted the most recent 122 posts in a selection of threads in General Discussion and Mechanical.

I kept going till I was bored. This didn't take long! so it is not a very representative survey.

Here are the results; Name, Location if given and no of posts.

I then plotted the UK people on a map and centred a 100 mile radius circle to catch the most people.

Guess what. It isn't centred on the South.
Bedford or Oxford are ptetty close to the centre!!!!!!!!!!!!

So how about that Rally in Bedfordshire?

Looks good to me - a rally in Judge land. Is there anything left of the Morris factory?
Glad to see that only Lee posted more than me, but still, only 10 posts? Was that just over the last 1/2 hour?

That'll teach me to move the techincal posts into the technical sections. None of my replies count

Either way, I'm happy with Beds.

Sorry, but according to that map Oxford is far closer to the centre. But was there ever any doubt about it being the centre of the Universe, after all where was Morris Motors, Bedford?

What about meeting here

Shame about their Morris Car Rally clashing with the National

depends if they've got anything new since I was last there!

Post by **Judge** » Tue Jul 03, 2007 6:13 pm

Ah, but how many other messageboard users have never been there?

Post by **bpr81a** » Tue Jul 03, 2007 6:27 pm

I've been twice!

Post by **aupickup** » Tue Jul 03, 2007 6:43 pm

11 north of london amd 12 south and south west of london, we win

Post by **Judge** » Tue Jul 03, 2007 6:45 pm

I've been more times than that, but many others may have never been there, and I think you would agree that it's worth a visit.

Post by **bpr81a** » Tue Jul 03, 2007 9:32 pm

It certainly is - especially the Morris stuff
