I'm just putting together a script to do batch imports of large numbers of mines and I can't concentrate on UK regions. Could anybody help me with where I should classify the following:

Cumbria
Derbyshire
Durham
Lancashire
Leicestershire
Northumbria
Nottinghamshire
Staffordshire
Warwickshire
Yorkshire

In terms of the forum structure... North East, North West, Midlands, South East, South West

Thanks!

my orders are to sit here and watch the world go by

I can't think geography at the same time as writing import scripts 🙂

Yorkshire actually goes right across to the East coast but doesnt reach the west coast so I think there's a more than Simon dodgy in geography 😉

There are 10 types of people in the world.

Those that understand binary and those that do not!

Sure, but the Lead mines of Arkengarthdale & Swaledale are very definately nothing else but North West.

My geography isn't that bad Jagman :lol: :lol:

This is just for a batch import and there aren't many Yorkshire mines in the batch, so if any are in the wrong region I can clean up afterwards with the move funciton for mines, albums and photos.

Thanks for all the input.
