From NEIL MCNAUGHT
I was startled to see in your map of Britain’s geological faults that
there is one running roughly from Carlisle to Berwick which is so severe
that the whole northern part of Britain has apparently drifted away (‘Ancient
faults and modern earthquakes’, 7 July). This might explain all sorts of
things, such as the curious outbreak of support for the West German World
Cup team which emerged in Scotland around semifinal time. On the other hand,
if you just want to write an article about England and Wales, that is fine.
But please do not refer to it as Britain. Not only is it wrong, but it makes
those of us in the rest of this island very cross.
