Who considers sheffield in the northeast?

Dear all (and moderators)

Just being a little pedantic bit just clicked on the new link out of curiosity for the "new business and law zone" just to see what was going on. just seen the section on "phd opportunities" and looking at the areas listed there is "North East" with a lovely picture of the angel of the north" and underneath the link to the university of sheffield Law School.

I believe findaphd staff are based in Sheffield, and to get this wrong is poor, especially when foreign students come here for information.
This map shows the position of universities on a UK map http://www.scit.wlv.ac.uk/ukinfo/ac/index.php?refs1066=http://uk.search.yahoo.com/search?p=map+uk&ei=UTF-8&fr=slv1-adbe&fl=0&x=wrt&meta=vc%3D
and it looks to me that sheffield at best should be classed as north,

Some may say does it matter, well not really but a) wouldn`t want foreign students turning up in sheffield expecting to be in the northeast of england, and in the same vein I wouldnt want to see students being put off by the idea of sheffield being isolated from the rest of England tucked up there in the north east.

Am I picking faults at noting or does anyone else think that this should be altered.

Being from the southcoast, everything's north for me.

Is this pedantic? Possibly, but as PhD students, we're trained to be critical, spot flaws and fix them :-)

Apologies - we forgot where we are for a second there. We blame this warm Autumn we've been having. Anyhow, it's all fixed now. Sheffield is safely back in Yorkshire (complete with yorkshire pudding picture):

So you're based in Sheffield then! Are there any nice dams around that area. As a connoisseur of these masterpieces of engineering I would really appreciate some advice on the best ones to visit the next time I am in Yorkshire.
