| == West End theatre == | |||
| Hi ya, West End theatre - synonymous with London. Surely? | |||
| I've changed all refs to West End theatres to refer explicity to ''West End theatre located in <London Borough name>''. It's kind of unfortunate that the City of Westminster isn't called London Borough of Westminster. The problem is ''London'' has no official existence. It's either ''Greater London'', or ''County of London''. | |||
| The next group of editors will now come round changing all refs to ''London, England, UK, Europe, the World, the Galaxy''; and the pages start to resemble the diaries of Adrian Mole. | |||
| I know, you have a point, but there's got to be a better expression, surely? ] 18:52, 17 March 2007 (UTC) | |||
| :Feel free and try to come up with a better expression, but I know you see my point: readers from Kuala Lampur or Idaho are far more likely to know of ] than of West End theatres or Westminster. —] (]) 20:18, 17 March 2007 (UTC) | |||
