By the way, was told last week that if you haven't got a 'pound' key on your keyboard then press and hold the 'alt' key and type in 0163, then release the 'alt' key. Works for everyone else I know, but not me

Which numbers are you using? It doesn't work if you use the numbers above your letters, only if you use the other ones

Well thats two things I've learned today, That tip above, plus the stats on the poll say that Migrants from the UK more or less reflect the density of population.

I cannot recall ever meeting another person from South London in person. I assumed not many migrated as there are at least 3-4 million south of the river. The poll seemingly states they are here in No's.


Ah well back to the drawing board for theories on this one lol

LOL....I haven't yet.....not put my mark, cos can't decide today! Of course the deciding factor will be the weather....cos if its cloudy, we are SW, if it sunny we are SE....looks like cloud to me! LOL! Do you ever notice that? We always get whatever the worst bit of weather is...so if they say sunny for sw, we will get whatever the SE is having and so on!
