Well, well, well. Traffic chaos on ice in two counties that have
ditched the Met Office products, in favour of cheaper private company
alternatives,

Is that why "Gloucestershire" is now being described as being in "south west
England" [BBC1 6pm News, a few minutes ago].

Because it's in the South West Region...

Can't think how I'd describe
its location, but south west England is a new one to me.

I'd call it South Midlands myself, along with Oxfordshire but TPTB
differ.
