I'm starting to think Tumbly has hacked in to David's account.

DJGM makes me actually want HD to only be available by paying BSkyB £10/month. Self righteous beyond belief.

I would be interested to see how it has been doing since moving to Manchester . . .
Salford actually.
As far as I'm concerned it's Manchester.

Whilst I understand the geography of the situation, I don't care.

I suggest he goes to salford one night and stand in the street telling people how it's Manchester, then report back in the morning.

I except they're technically two different places, but I don't think everytime someone mistakenly calls the BBC's current Northern base Manchester, we need someone correcting them or it's going to get pretty tedious.

At the end of the day it's the home of BBC Manchester, it's was only chosen due to the fact it's more or less Manchester, it's part of Greater Manchester, to anyone in London or Glasgow it might as well be Manchester!

So Salford folk might not like being thrown in with Manchester, but it would be nothing without Manchester, certainly not the home of the BBC in North.

Salford is in Greater Manchester, to refer to the BBC's new studios simply as Manchester is therefore not inherently incorrect. Just about sums up that member's input though.

Oh hell, wait till Casualty restarts. Anyone up for an argument over whether Roath Lock is in Cardiff?

It's in either Cardiff, Cardiff Bay, Porth Teigr (Tiger Gate / Tiger Port), Butetown or, ye gods, Penarth.
