There's lots of companies down south. You'll have to be a bit more precise.

Depends on your definition of "South" - You'll have to be a bit more precise.

True, Grid or Magnetic South?

Are we talking temperate latitudes?

How about a game of Hangman to determine the company name?

I'll start by asking if it's got an 'H' in it...

Um ... draw a line from The Wash to The Severn and anything above that line is North ergo, anything below that line (including Suffolk) is South.

So, if a Suffolk writer states "Down South", then I shall infer that the location of said operator is South of Suffolk - any help?

Cheers

drums got it right, but the skin was too tight on the left one, so it sounded wrong

I'm in the South West.

Should I be 'worried' or just 'mildly concerned'?

We should be told.

I hope so, cos I'm in the Southwestern Hemisphere, so I'll be un-affected.
