    Hmm, both done by Carl Baker, with some deliberation. Hard one to decide, I will leave it alone for now.

    Thanks, sadly Carl Baker seems to be a bit quiet these days, hopefully like you he will find his way back to us and join in as I think he has been the main contributor to getting Birmingham slightly in shape.

    I want ask you question..

    Is Midlands is the most accurate with name corrections, pictures and closed pubs etc in this website?

    Which region is the worst?

    Hard question. As most of our corrections are still done by members submitting feedback, only a small proportion is actually done through the forum. I am hoping that with the upcoming updates this will be a little easier to answer.

    If I was to guess without resorting to stats then I would say that Central London is the most accurate. The McGraw's do an extraordinary amount of working submitting corrections nationwide, I think a certain amount of them are researched, but the London ones are observed on their travels, also operating in the London area is Graham Mason who also submits large amounts of corrections.

    A few years back Pembroke Dock put a lot of effort into making Pembroke entirely correct. Again a few years back FILO did amazing work correcting North Yorkshire which was torrid as he was doing it just as we introduced the villages and were still finding our feet, we had some amusing debates with him about what was and wasn't a village (sound familiar )

    The Midlands is now rapidly being corrected by the forumites, but for the moment is still being done in localised clusters, although you can see it spreading out as you are all getting more comfortable with your areas being correct.

    And there is Bristol which me and Dave have started trying to bring up to speed as we became embarrassed by how out of date it was, but you lot on the forums are doing your areas a lot quicker than we are doing ours.

    Worst indexed I would say is North Scotland, partly due to the places being so spread out, it really does show up the weaknesses in relying on the Postal Towns, sadly still nothing better for me.

    Bit of an Encyclopaedic reply, but there you have it
