It seems that it isn't just the Americans who are geographically challenged.

Just watching Gillingham v Shrewbury in the League Two play-off final on Setanta.
According to the commentator, Gillingham is an hour by train from Central London, and Shrewsbury is in the West Country.

haha! it once took me 3hrs to get to Gilliingham from Canterbury!!!!! yes there was a sprinkling of snow but not so much that me in a clio driving 9 miles to Canterbury had any problems on the narrow country roads?? I was heading to London at Gillingham gave up on the advice of a train driver! 21/2 hours to get back and I got a member of staff at gillingham to write a note I had not got to my destination! and got my money back! unfortunatly I can't claim that day of my life back!

Just a little bit out!

Black Country would be closer, but I think Shrewsbury is a bit far west to be included.

I'm going to settle for "nearly in Wales".

So they're continuing as a station, just not getting any more Premiership matches, yes? Because I do like their coverage of rugby and gaelic football.

Here's the bbc news story - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8089275.stm
Apparently, 'there are reports that the firm is on the brink of administration'.
