This morning’s weather bulletin on Radio 4 didn’t mention London and the South East at all.
What proportion of the license fee revenue comes from residents of London and South East England?

As a resident of Canterbury, which is in the south east, and an avid morning listener of Radio 4, I feel compelled to ask: why does it matter?
“Lord” Toby Harris, one would think you have better things to be spending your time on, no?
Where is your sense of humour, Dave?
For those of us well outside the M25 beltway (I am in the NE) one of our hang-ups is the sheer amount of detail the SE gets in the weather forecast. Small places like Dartford, Dorking and Bracknell quite often get their own name-checks on the map, but you have to be an avid viewer to see Middlesbrough or Sunderland mentioned !
