But that is not the answer to the point that I raised. If a posting carries the named area of a settlement, that in itself should be enough to allow the person making the next posting without the need for "Sherlock Holmes-type" of geographical research to enable clarification of what seems to be far too much of a generalisation. I remain unconvinced, as I expected my point was worthy of raising, being said in the true spirit of this particular thread.

It's not ideal I know, but it shouldn't raise too many issues in posting the next move.

A general reminder perhaps for all of us to ensure we're checking our settlements in future
