Here is the news.

In a move that has been expected for some time, the Ordnance Survey announced today the formal abolition of latitude and longitude for all UK locations.

Instead, each location will be given an MFB rating. The new MFB (Miles From Brighton) scale was welcomed, particularly by school children, and by people in Brighton.

Greenwich, as the home of Zero Degrees, the Greenwich Meridian, has been replaced by Brighton, which is the home of Zero MFB.

So, for instance:

Ditchling has a ranking of 9 MFB.
Eastbourne has a ranking of 22 MFB.
London has a ranking of 53 MFB.

For all locations Norh of London, a different scale will apply. This is the SUNS (Somewhere Up Near Scotland) scale.

All locations qualifying for a SUNS ranking will be treated equally.

I am issuing an "AB Official Warning" to this thread because I have reason to believe it could get rude. I have seen it all before, it starts out sensible, then people start to giggle and disappear behind cricket pavilions and smoke, and the eventual outcome is mayhem.

I am going to cut down another cherry tree, clearly a self-limiting exercise.

p.s. JJ could you rank Croydon, ta.

[logic]

for the benefit of those who do not know where the fcuk Brighton is. It's next door to Hove, and is the Gay Capital of England.

spent some happy hours in the pubs near the lanes, :-)

[dustypuss]

Brighton sucks i once had the misfortune of going there and i got my Fcuking head kicked in and that was by the local police

[taichiperson]

I definately live SUNS. Very close to the Border, south of the Debateable Lands. However ,this means that you all live SDS - Somewhere Darn Sarf - unless you live near Newcastle or north of the Border.

[dustypuss]

Hi GUYS.

Back again. Had to nip away. Bit of a crisis. Thing2 needed a glass ow wine on her way home, and had nobody else to rescue her. Jayne the hero steps into the breach. I'm such a good friend.

So let's see ...

Croydon ... done. 44 MFB sounds about right.

Lakitu ... HOLY CR@P Laki, where do you live? The North Pole???

Red boots ... mmm, got some of those. Well, not boots, but my strappy sandals are red, so that'll do.

Aww, puss, you haven't been to Brighton. You really should. Where's York then?

So who doesn't like Brighton? DUSTY ???? Aww, come on. Well, you'll have to get used to it now, with the new MFB Scale being in force.

Who does that leave? Oh ... 4GS. Spouted a bit too soon there, eh? Typical bloke!!!




Thinks ... 602 MFB? Laki must live on the Moon!

[Lakitu]
