Well, if you live in the South/East you are poorly served.

For once, I chose to live in the right place after years of being out on a limb in the South West and the far North West.  I'm at last getting something for all my taxes 8)

No complaints whatsoever.

I agree with Gadget this is a very expensive hobby for me I have spent over £30 in the last few weeks on certs and the 1911 census and its hard to justify that kind of money on the pension but  I think I may get my bus pass out and get off to the Archives trouble is when I went a few years ago it was always packed

I think you will find according to the Government the South East is covered, SEEDA and SEERA (whoever they are!) probably include Birmingham in the South East  :( ::)

Unfortunately not a lot of use to Bournemouth, the nearest in distance is Exeter, 4 hours by bus or train, the nearest in time is Birmingham, 3 hours by train. Strange London didn't get a mention. Are the authorities learning at last?
