To us, <st1:City w:st="on">Birmingham</st1:City> *is* <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">London</st1:place></st1:City>, only often more expensive and harder
to get to!! (Far more trains & planes to <st1:City w:st="on">London</st1:City>
from the frozen North than to <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Birmingham</st1:place></st1:City>).
It's better - a decade ago, BA would return trip me to <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">London</st1:place></st1:City> for a bought well ahead hundred quid
or so. <st1:City w:st="on">Aberdeen</st1:City> to <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Birmingham</st1:place></st1:City> used to be £464. (Not a
typo....!!) Overnight sleeper meant Euston then an expensive peaktime train
back to <st1:City w:st="on">Birmingham</st1:City> or getting off at <st1:place
w:st="on">Crewe</st1:place> at 4am.<br>
<br>
Even <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Edinburgh</st1:place></st1:City>
is a (lousy) 4hour drive or multiple trains. We do however have it easier than
people in the Hebrides etc.....<span class=moz-smiley-s1> :-) </span><br>
<br>
You're right though - many <st1:City w:st="on">London</st1:City> based folk
regard Doncaster as The North despite there being a mile or two of <st1:country-region
w:st="on">England</st1:country-region> higher up, let alone <st1:country-region
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Scotland</st1:place></st1:country-region>!
People in Shetland regard <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Aberdeen</st1:place></st1:City>
as "The South"<br>
<br>
So forget <st1:City w:st="on">Birmingham</st1:City> - why not hold one meeting
a year (at least) in <st1:City w:st="on">Newcastle</st1:City>, <st1:City w:st="on">Edinburgh</st1:City>,
<st1:place w:st="on">Inverness</st1:place>?<br>
