Hi Allan,

That's interesting and would explain the 'problems' I've had with Marylebone
and Pancras using WinBMD. I was wondering if it was me or a bug worth
reporting. If it's by design, however, than it doesn't seem to match the
actual usage of the districts as I quite often find it missing when the page
I'm transcribing is showing it.

I wonder if this 'feature' needs revisiting...
