What Borders?
If you go here Yes BBC Scotland-local news, you might expect to find something going on in the Borders? Borders? Where's they? Put 'Borders' or to be dangerously specific 'Scottish Borders' into the regional search engine on that page, what do you get? Nothing-sorry can't find you.
Yes, if you look closely at the choice of regions there is South Scotland. So something sometimes happens in South Scotland-but the Borders, shown separately in the dinky wee map- is a news free region. 'Happy is the country which has no history' somebody once said. So to have no news is surely blissfully happy. Or just
pig ignorant.
(the image, for the benefit of BBC Scotland, is of the Borders. As you can see its all downhill from there)

For a while they asked you to put in your post code to receive your local radio station. If you put in TD11 it brought up Radio Newcastle.
Still the thing is you see, no one lives in the Borders do they?
