SW19 - that would be Salford West then?

The BBC moved much of its business, including its sports section, from London to Salford as a cost-cutting exercise.  Of course when it comes to covering sporting events in London - like Wimbledon - they now have to send staff back from Salford to do it.  Apparently covering Wimbledon this year will cost £70,000 and this is likely to rise to something like half a million in years to come.  Law of Unforeseen Consequences again?
