Kensington & Chelsea.


Also Middlesex...?

are you of the view that "London" means only The City and
Westminster?


No. London only means the city of London. Westminster and Southwark are
separate cities in their own right.

Now if you wish to speak of the London Conurbation, that's fine.

No. London only means the city of London.


Nonsense. Ever heard of the Mayor of London, Transport for London, London
as a post town in addresses, etc. etc. ?

Westminster and Southwark are separate cities in their own
right.


Southwark is not a city. See

Most people refer to that as London or Greater London.

By the way, why do your posts have an apparently empty file attached called
"Once upon a time there was a badly broken newsreader"?

I suggest you ask the manufacturers of your badly broken newsreader for
the answer to that question.

Oh, I see, it's just a smart-arsed and unhelpful way of pointing out a bug
in Outlook Express.

Grow up.

"nearly" prosecuted ?? That's a bit like being "almost" pregnant
isn't it ?? You're either prosecuted or not prosecuted. Preganant
or not pregnant. No space in between.

I feel that you have distorted the facts of the matter. As I feel
that it is impossible to have a reasoned discussion with you as soon
as Clive's name comes up I'll leave it there.
