Posted: 12:43 - 17 Nov 2015 Post subject: Can we have a Greater London User Group? |
|
|
Crossposted in The South East regional forum, but...
Why no Greater London User Group?
The "south east", including London, is a big place - over a quarter of the UK's population.
Half of all people in the 19,000km² area of the "south east" actually live in the 1,500km² called "London"
Wales is about 5% of the UK's population, yet has its own group. London three times the population of Wales!
Just saying... personally, I'd find a "Greater London" group a lot more useful than the "South East" group.

I tend to avoid posting threads about particular road works or big Police stop checks* or whatever in the SE section, just because it's irrelevant to such a vast area.
Also questions about London dealerships or whatever, same deal, SE is huge, its irrelevant to masses of people.

The South East is the smallest "part" of the UK in terms of area.
Scotland = 77,900
The North = 37,300
Midlands = 28,600
South West = 23,800
Wales = 20,700
South East = 19,000
Population, fair enough but huge it isn't. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

I live in Hertfordshire - but within the M25 - and ride into Central London everyday.

BCF wins because it doesn't have a thousand and one separate forums. |

No arguing there - but I'd suggest that there are sections that get far less use than the proposed London section would, which could more or less disappear without anybody noticing, thereby keeping our simple uncluttered forum.
The Ireland section has had less than 200 topics in its existence. We probably have more active users from the USA than Ireland ____________________ I am a bellend, I am a man of constant sorrow, I am a gummy bear, I am a rock. |

The Scottish user group are an independent group who rarely come to the rest of the forum. |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 8 years, 133 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
