Because of the way the maps were tilted, they appeared to suggest that northern Scotland was on the periphery.

Now I wouldn't want to cast aspersions or anything but surely, northern Scotland is on the periphery of the island what ever way you tilt the maps? As is the Isle of Wight (in the interests of impartiality).

Also:

"That pull will be all the greater when the Olympic flame reaches British soil in what is likely to be the year of the Queen's diamond jubilee".

Surely it's either her diamond jubliee or it isn't?

Geographically speaking the Isle of Wight is definitely on the periphery of the island, whereas Scotland is about half the landmass!

Well it will be her diamond jubilee unless she dies, or (unlikely) gets a divorce from Phil. Or do you count jubilees even after their death?

Why would a divorce affect it? It's the anniversary of her coronation, not her marriage, I believe.

Sorry, that's me getting confused between jubilees and weddings. Hasn't she had 50 years of both fairly recently?
