Jack - as an expatriate Mancunian, I definitely agree with your wife that Huntingdon is South, well South-easterlyish. Also I believe the correct phraseology is Bloody Yorkshireman, and before anybody asks we don't still keep the coal in bath oop North.

BTW my wife's from Cheshire too, the posh bit (Marple).

Great news about Meridian and Pronto - thanks for the update.
