    Umm, yes. It's NW England. Nobody's said anything else. Scottish policing - and law - is completely separate.

    NW Scotland doesn't have any motorways, anyway.

    No you didn't say anything and neither did anyone on this page, but the Twitter page you linked to in the description of the profile it says North West, United Kingdom to which I was referring.

    I also dispute their use of North West United Kingdom as Inverness, Ullapool etc but that's not anything to do with you. Just the English forgetting about Scotland yet again.

    Well as its a police group you can forget Scotland as they don't exist in our policing terms.

    We didn't decide you'd needed a different legal system.

    Being 29 neither did I.
    Although that doesn't mean we are not part of the United Kingdom. No matter how hard 45% of the voters disagreed.

    But face facts.

    When there's a link to an England and Wales police amalgamation it won't include Scotland. So it's correct being north west. ;)

    It says "North West".
    Twitter have added the country that the account is registered to.

    Stop trying so hard to take offence.

    It's North West Motorway Police and not Police Scotland. It's not our fault you have issues.

    The whole point of using words is to communicate your meaning as simply and unambiguously as possible.

    So is the "inside" lane, the one on the inside of the road, nearest the centre?
    And how would you refer to the lanes on a four-lane stretch?

    what about near side and offside. That would make it perfectly clear.
