I've had this conversation so many times before, traditionally the south west is Cornwall, Devon, Somerset and Dorset, not Wiltshire, not Hampshire and certainly not Gloucestershire, Bristol used to be Avon-dosent exist any more(Avon that is not Bristol) and Bath always came under North East Somerset-so just in!Big Grin


Erm !!! According to the UK Govt, The Census office and Wikipedia the SOUTH WEST of England is thus
From Wiki
"South West England is one of nine official regions of England. It is the largest such region in area, covering 9,200 square miles (23,828 km2) and comprising Gloucestershire, Bristol, Wiltshire, Somerset, Dorset, Devon, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. Five million people live in South West England."

Its a bit like when ITV was TSW with the studios in Plymouth.
TSW (Television South West - for those outside the area) would purely report on the news from Devon and Cornwall; then it became Westward Television going up as far as Bristol; but now its Westcountry Television and covers from Cornwall/the Channel Islands, up to Glos and across to Swindow!!!

Aaah yes NOW we agree , I remember being in Taunton in the 70s at Norton Manor Camp and at one point the BBC news for the area came out of Exeter, then it suddenly started coming from Bristol !!!.
Its just as bad up here because what WAS Tyne Tees TV is now Tyne Tees and BORDER TV we get news from Dumfrees and Galoway in Teesside passed off as local news !!!!
