We’re curious about something. Perhaps you can help…
Why do people call the South West?
One of the things we love about our Bristol depot near the M4 and M5 is how central it is. Cheltenham, Cardiff, Swindon? All less than an hour. Oxford and Worcester aren’t much more.
OK, our Birmingham and Portsmouth branches cover the areas next door, but it’s still true. Bristol is not in some far-flung corner of Britain. It’s right in the middle, and it’s handy for everywhere.
Maybe we should start calling it “South Midlands” instead?
What do you reckon?
