We are talking miles here.
When we travel in/from the west country we talk in time as most 60 mile journeys take up to 2 hours.

Having done the trip to Southend fairly regularly I'll add a bit to that for the Yeovil lads to get to the smoke...
So, I am reckoning on about 180-190mls...

Enjoyed Two Doors Down last night...and it's all troooo - Glasgow suburbia is just like that. Plus Elaine C Smith uses the F word to Glaswegian perfection..the cast must have a hoot recording it....taking the gentle P out of real Glasgow characters - even though it's set in Paisley so they are all Buddies - who would never take for being called Glaswegian

The trouble is that I can choose not to watch those games but when its on the news they often have more important stuff to follow Scottish football like a good news story of a poodle skateboarding in Taunton. 😁

So do I - but it does make me laugh - not all of the time - but it does...especially the three wimmin - three different stereotypes but I recognise all three.

Can I be the first person (and English to boot) to point out you only need to read as far as the second paragraph in Doon's Bellacaledonia link to get to the first factual inaccuracy!
How jolly irritating that these Scottish johnnies can never bother to get English geography correct ...

Unusual for Bella to get things wrong.
If you mean Lizard Point and Lands End {Scots equiv. Dunnet Head and John o' Groats], that would be amazingly petty.:lol:
If not please enlighten us.
Ps What is the second factual inaccuracy.

Well, it's correct that Lizard Point is further south than Lands End but southernmost point of United Kingdom is actually in the Scilly Isles. (Interesting that he chose an island for the north but the mainland for the south? To make sure the point was made perhaps?) No matter, my reckonning is that half way still falls somewhere not so far from Lockerbie.
Did l actually say there was a second

Thank you for putting the record straight, of course the Scilly Isles should have been included in the calculations.:thup:
Nope.........it's Carlisle.
Not according to AA Route Planner. 832 miles in total. Kendal 418 miles... near enough to half way. Guess you're doing it as the crow flies??

Just realised that under the new BBC weather map order, Glasgow and Edinburgh are in the Midlands and Liverpool and Manchester in the South.:rofl:

But when I was a wee lad we used to visit our relatives 'down south' - in Southport. Until I was 18 (when I went to Wembley for a game against the Auld Enemy) I didn't know anything of England south of Chester Zoo - England south of Chester and Wales were lands of which I knew absolutely nothing beyond stuff on TV but that was it
