Presumably for a similar reason that Berwick on Tweed is in the middle
of southern Scotland. The site was written by a load of morons who
haven't properly checked the output is sensible.

I reported the problem with Berwick fairly soon after after the new
stuff was launched it's still broken. I guess it just sums the up the
total quality of the data though, if they can't get places in the
correct place on a map what chance do they have of getting the weather
right. SFA thats what...
