I've been visiting every region in England and if we move to English counties only Cumbria and Isle of Wight is missing for my visited list. There was only one common denominator I picked up during the last ten years: We don't get our fair share. Another thing that surprised me was how small size this "We" area had. Bagso is talking about the north of England and the North West region and compare it with the South East region - this is very uncommon. But if you look at some parts of the South East, they are even worse off than the large majority of communites in the North West when it comes to let's say public transport and other forms of communication. We have a subsidiary in the south west corner of Hampshire and you can't imagine how hard (and expensive) it was for me get this site hooked up to our world wide Telepresence system.
