Not that I wish to open a hornet's nest on this thread George, (well not much) but don't you think there's a bit of a North/South thing going on here?

I have an idea that Lottery funding tends to flow to the areas South of Brum. I guess it's because Suvverners are more switched on and intelligent.
Or maybe they're all Delboys, working the system, what do you reckon?

I think your right, up here were are just glad to have your boot to lick on the odd occasion.

If only we had some of your southern intelligence. You know it's starting to look like the Roman's had a much greater impact on Yorkshire than most people think.

Bloody Roman's

Still, I'm glad we have a northern Prime Minister, now he'll make sure we do not get overlooked!

Part of my work involves helping voluntary organisations get funding. It is certainly true that lots of charitable trusts do give more to the south than they rightly should do (laziness and inertia are often the reason). I think the various lottery and governmental funds are better divided because it is done more scientifically and they are (rightly) under pressure to be fair, and to be seen to be fair.
