Calais is in the South of England?? No, this isn't us seeking to re-establish our historic claim to the city which we held for some 200 years in the Middle Ages - this is Calais itself (or to be more accurate the whole region of Pas de Calais) which is looking to persuade competitors and spectators at the London Olympics that it's just as easy to commute from there to the Olympics site via the Channel Tunnel as it would be from the other side of London. To this end the Head of the Regional Council has declared "I consider that we are the south of England...". Queen Mary (the first, that is) must be having a quiet smile.
