And if it was not expected even a few days ago, why do you expect me to be asking about it last week? I don't mind being criticised for many things, but a lack of psychic powers is not one of them. Oh, stop moaning. There's a reason things happen in London: people live and work there.

Like I said, move the offices to Salford. That doesn't really make much difference when it comes to media. It's very easy for me to get to the BBC's MediaCity in Salford Quays, but it's very rare that there's opportunities to be interviewed there. I've been on Radio 5 Live once from their studios in MediaCity, and that's about it. Most relevant media work (particularly TV) still takes place in London.
