Things that keep you out of the workshop

So, when you were living in London it was Kent and now you're living in Kent it's East Sussex.

Is the workshop bending spacetime in the locality?

Its the localised concentration of cast iron that does it. I believe there is a similar phenomenon over long eaton, and near warrington....

Apparently aircraft coming in to land at East Midlands International now have to take another approach path because something is affecting the compass's ????????????

Must be that new magnetic chuck...

WAS is the key word there. Bromley WAS in Kent but got absorbed by London. The official definition of a Kentish Men is those north and west of the Medway. Now it's easier to say the you can tell then by the fact that they are not sure whether they are Londoners or not.

Depends on your terms of reference: Bromley is a London Borough, so administrativrly it's part of the Metrolops, but it's postal address is Kent - ie BR postcodes and not SE postcodes

Same here, Enfield is in North London, but really its Enfield, Middlesex, its also the London borough of Enfield. !!! Bob

The Post Office has a mind of its own. Wasn't Middlesex 'abolished' years ago?

I dont think so, Google still shows the address of Heathrow Airport as Hounslow, Middlesex. If Middx was abolished, could explain all the planes over my roof !!! Bob

Your'e right, another google says exactly as you mention Bob

Officially Middx was absorbed into GLC a good many years ago but Postal addresses were retained. London was originally part of Middx. but has grown and grown.....
