Question
I contacted a compay in America trying to have my car shipped to the UK. They are asking which port is closer to us, South Hampton or Thamesport? I live in Gloucester, England.

guidance? please!

Answer
Hi Connie
A quick look at a map suggests that Southampton and Thamesport (London) are roughly the same distance from Gloucester. I should choose Thamesport as I suspect communications might be better.
Sorry to be delayed in replying - computer troubles (now cured).

Expertise

I should be most interested in questions on Yorkshire. Since I live in Yorkshire, I should not be able to contribute suggestions on accommodation and very few on restaurants. On the other hand I have walked a considerable amount in the Yorkshire Dales and the South Pennines and my job used to see me covering all parts of the county.

Experience

Experience in the area :- I was a trade union official covering Yorkshire and Humberside from 1984 to 1994, when I was appointed to a national post. I have lived in the South Pennines since 1972.
