Hi Wendy

Very hit and miss: some counties are not represented, or only
minimally, especially those down south, whereas some are well
represented: I can only suggest you have a look at:

http://www.twrcomputing.freeserve.co.uk/nbi.htm

where details of the coverage for each county are shown.

You can order it thru' TWR or thru' the FFHS at:

http://www.ffhs.co.uk/shop/pages/nbi.htm

if they've got their act together now?

I understand that now they've been made to look a little foolish and old
fashioned some of the less well represented counties are reviewing their
policy and negotiations may be in hand with a view to producing a second
publication, in due course: but don't hold your breath ;-)
