London, Cardiff/Swansea, Birmingham, Manchester/Liverpool, Newcastle and the NE and then Glasgow/Edinburgh all lit up.

You can see the A1/M1 out of London and in the zoomed in pic of London, the m25 ring road. I'm sure everyone will be able to pick out some highlights.

Heathrow at 2 o'clock.
The Thames is an easy spot.

Any more?

I take it the image of London is upside down then as heathrow is obviously West West London and 2 o'clock where I think Heathrow is (2 black parallel lines?) would indicate East London in that image.

I can see the Thames where it U shapes (Reminds me of Eastenders)

Yes, that images is from the north looking south. Therefore Heathrow is now to the east of London and Boris doesn't need 'Boris island' anymore.

Dammit I told the wife to switch off the lights when I was away - clearly she's left them on.

Just up from the Bristol channel, there's a line of 3 "dots" of light - I'm in the darkness between the 2 bottom ones

Love living in the Countryside - NO light pollution (just the smell of cowsh1t)
