Geoff:
Well, yes, south-west perhaps.

Actually, it's perception. I tend to overlook that, to go home from 
Bristol, I drive out west to join the motorway but I'm actually 
heading south on the M5 when I pass the W-s-M interchange a few miles 
along the way.

However, I stick with my assertion that if you run a ruler from the 
north side of W-s-M to Staines, which is almost the most northerly 
bit of Surrey-that-was-Middlesex, your line takes you over Bath. 
Flying due east from Bristol will land you in the edge of Berkshire, 
just a few miles too far north.

Crikey, chaps and chapesses, this thread is getting worse than 
Vauxhall Road.....
