London transport problems being 'national news'.
Surely it is national news. People travel to London from all corners of the country in their masses every day. I know it's now quite hip to be anti-London and despise the London-centric news but it affects a hell of a lot of people, not all of which live in London.

I prefer bananas when they've ripened to the extent that they have those black spots on the skin.

That there is every show or movie ever made on Netflix, Amazon and Xbox Video EXCEPT the one thing I want to watch.

Macclesfield Town/Manchester City. It's complicated.

It was getting more coverage than The Ashes.

10 times as many people don't live in or travel to London on any given day. It is not national news just because some people might be making that journey. And all of the people IN London have access to the regional London media.

Leave it in the traffic and travel updates. It's not national news.

In a film/TV show when a character is drinking a cup of tea/coffee and there's clearly nothing in the cup. Really winds me up.

The Ashes is a terrible comparison to make.

Are you sure about your numbers? About 14% of the UK's population is in Greater London. When you factor in the commuter belt, that's much higher.

Spelling mistakes on signs. A few times in the last couple of weeks I've driven past a sign warning of upcoming road closures, which said it was going to happen on 'nth Jully'. I was so distracted by 'Jully' that I didn't register the date - tried to drive down there yesterday and it was closed.

The maths doesn't matter. They are still in and around London and have access to local media. Traffic and travel reports are enough to get the information to people. It's not a national, that's NATIONAL, as in supposedly of interest to the 80% + of the population who couldn't give a shiny shite about Londoners having to walk for a bit.

Came across this one about a year ago (pic not taken by me).
