And what is particuarly irritating, is although they do normally manage to cover a non-London story about once a week or so, they still assume we all live in London!
For example, items are introduced by phrases such as "whatever part of London you live", or such-and-such "across the capital" even when it's a trans-regional story, or Mark Bright last Friday pointing to us saying "we'll be finding out about Children in Need events organised by YOU - the Londoners!". They even once introduced a news item with the phrase "drinkers across the capital" which then turned out to be about something happening in Guildford!
Although Newsroom South East wasn't much better at covering news stories outside London at least they acknowledged our existence; the BBC London service is nothing short of an insult to those of us living in the home counties.

No idea - although you'd be excused for not knowing this - BBC London TV actually covers a wider patch than BBC London 94.9 Radio...
