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.

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? :D

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

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? :wink: :lol: :lol:

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.

It certainly is - especially the Morris stuff
