Pistongone,
Thanks for that great contribution to aviation in general and lunch in particular. Perhaps though, if you are going to split hairs, you could in fact correct a few of the errors in you own post whilst the rest of us start thinking about next weekend's lunch trips to France or indeed the Channel Islands.
1) Strasbourg not Stassbourg
2) Its "your" not "you're". "You're" means "you are".
So us real pilots are having trouble understanding you, because the rest of the world seems to have understood Mak in the first place.

OK, ok, DP i was only commenting on a minor mistake i thought had been made, but apparently lots of you seem to refer to that part of France as the NE
Well thats fine as long as you all know what you mean when you say it. So just out of interest what part, geographically speaking, of France is Strassbourg in? See why i am having trouble understanding you're point

Three Yellows,
Seeing as its Sunday and i am bored because i havn't been flying and i am not going to work untill next Wednesday i will entertain a bit of hair splitting with you. As such i would ask you to look at this quote from a well known web site " Swiss spelling: Strassbourg) is the capital and principal city of the Alsace region in northeastern France".So if you're going to split hairs then be sure of you're facts before making your self look a bit of a T$%T. Also, what region of France would you say Strassbourg(Swiss spelling!) is to be found? And if you answer correctly with the North East( you may find the answer in the above quote) then can you please justify your position?
Three Yellows its over to you.

Clearly all the rest of us don't seem to inhabit your airspace. Our loss, I'm sure.
For the record I would describe Strasbourg as being on the Eastern border of France.
Mak was describing the North East coastline. If you were split the north coast at Le Havre then everything running to the east of that is where he meant. All the rest of us got it as it is quite obvious that he was not superimposing a compass rose on France and giving precise bearings ! The point that you have missed is that his reference was the COASTLINE . . .got it ?
This is getting a bit boring now.
Mak . . . delighted you had a good day. Most of us knew roughly where you were !!
