If we all tackle what I think is place discrimination every time we see it at some point the message will get across that the North of England doesn't stop at Manchester! In fact as far as I am concerned Manchester is north midlands! Also with a sustained campaign we will be promoting Bedlington anyway! Already read one American international best-selling author who when describing the location of Newcastle said it was just to the South of Bedlington! Thanks very much Clive Cussler!
